5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best death metal albums EVER, August 15, 2006

By	Nailed To Gold (New York) - See all my reviews

Altars of Madness was released in 1989 and to this day, it is hailed as one of the best death metal albums ever. Sure it doesnt have the up-to-date production that bands have today, but make no mistake this is what its all about. Evil vocals, amazing blast beats, insane solos... I honestly can not put into words how great this album is.

Morbid Angel has re-released this album and included a 2nd bonus DVD of Morbid Angel on the Grindcrusher tour back in 1989. The sound is excellent and the DVD is worth the price alone.

All metal fans should own this CD. All Morbid Angel fans MUST check out the DVD as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars bow down at the altar, March 18, 2009

By	Mclusky (Florida) - See all my reviews

"Altars of Madness" sounds as good as ever even after having been released 20 years ago, It's not a heavy death metal album like Incantations "Onward to Golgotha" but what it lacks in heaviness it makes up for in speed and sheer chaos. In truth, this album is more akin to a cross between Death and Slayer but faster and more intense. David Vincent's vocals are killer and the music itself just blisters with speed and intensity that was probably unmatched at the time. Lord of All Fevers and Plague is probably one of the most intense and awesome Death Metal songs of all time in my opinion. I love lo-fi production so this album hits the spot for me in terms of that. I like a lot of Morbid Angel albums but i don't think they ever matched the intensity and old school brutality that this one just exhudes on every song. If you like thrashy old school metal then this one is a must have. All in all this is one of my top 10 death metal albums.
