I'll make the appropriate changes re: Steve Tucker leaving and Jared Anderson joining when I can get some concrete date (year) on when that happened. Or, someone else can if they know.

Ignominious is in fact, not real. It's origin came to existence when it was posted as a torrent on a board, and was listed as 80 minutes. CDs cannot last 80 minutes. Also, the release has not been officialized by either Earache or Morbid Angel themselves.

Thank you! I found it suspicious not being cited in their official site nor in the label's page. I should have noticed the weird title!!--Richard George 13:12, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

WTF!!??

Why all of a sudden is the pages to like half the morbid angel albums dissappeared? Can someone fix this please? Okram 09 (talk) 06:24, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Album sales

Where did someone get their album sales from? Theres no way they have sold near 3 million records in the US.

I agreen that that info seems highly suspect. I believe Deicide and Cannibal Corpse have outsold Morbid Angel and I don't think either of them have sold more then 3 million

It doesn't say "in the U.s.", those are worldwide sales figures. That said, yeah, there's no way they've sold that many.

OK those figures are PATENTLY FALSE source: [1]. It's still kind of interesting that Covenant is the bestseliign death metal album though.

That is just in the US. Its not probable but still possible they have sales around three mill. But it is more then likely their sales are at least in the millions worldwide. Especially given the fact that Altar of madness was released before soundscan and that soundscan generally does not cover independant stores (ie metal/death metal specialty shops). -matt

Erik Rutan?

this article says Erik Rutan left Morbid Angel in 2003, yet he played guitar for Morbid Angel at the Wacken Open Air festival 2006, on the 5th August 2006.... thus suggesting he has rejoined Morbid Angel. Morbid Angel is awesome!!!

        He's temporarily filling in for them on some live dates.  I don't think he's rejoined the band, at least not officially [2]

ah, jobs a good'un, thanks for clearing that up.

Ignominious DO NOT ADD it is an internet bootleg

This is not an actual Morbid Angel release and has been posted on the internet on a Bit Torrent site with cover art to make it seem real but it is fake. Do NOT add it to the page. Thank you

Blackened Death Metal

I have heard talk about Abominations of Desolation being blackened death metal i have listened to most of the album (as recorded on later albums) but never actually listened to Abominations now to the hard part would that album be classified as blackened death metal or just death metal

--65.122.47.164 (talk) 15:50, 7 January 2008 (UTC) Look into the blacken ed death metal talk page. it is scheduled for deletion, which is why the category for this article should be for Death metal instead. ~~VS —Preceding unsigned comment added by Venus Satanas (talk • contribs) 20:33, 9 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Untitled 8th studio album

Any actual sources on this? I haven't found any info on their website, nor anywhere else for that matter. And there's always been gossip. 212.76.37.160 (talk) 11:50, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

--Someone obviously didn't actually look at the website. In the site's biography section "The new album is in the works and a new song is being played live on this tour - "Nevermore"."71.232.93.148 (talk) 21:14, 28 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lengthen the biography

No offence to the person who wrote this but it really didn't tell me much about them when I first read it. More information regarding their albums in the biography would be nice.71.177.12.165 (talk) 01:29, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merged

I moved all the content over from Abominations of Desolation someone may want to refine it or trim it, thanks. Off2riorob (talk) 11:31, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wiki Errors

(Wiki) - In an interview in December 2013, David Vincent confirmed that Pete Sandoval is no longer a member of the band, claiming that Sandoval had "found Jesus", and stating, "Pete Sandoval and Morbid Angel are not compatible", laying to rest speculation that Sandoval would eventually be returning to the band.

JM - Not true, Pete left the band because of severe spinal pain from his already damaged spine from extreme drumming and had to use “triggers” like most drummers nowadays.

(Wiki) - On June 19, 2015, David Vincent confirmed that he left Morbid Angel, due to creative differences.[19]

 JM – Again, not true, there had always been a conflict between Trey and David about where the band was going and NOT “creative differences”.

Is "being not notable outside of the band" a valid reason for deleting an article? The article was not moved to the band's article as a section. So, is there a valid reason for redirection (and deletion) you can give? The article was "long" enough not to be considered unimportant so redirecting the page while deleting all its components doesn't seem logical. Is being not notable outside of the band among the rules of wikipedia and a reason to completely delete an article about the artist himself? - Avatar ⁹ⁿ 09:53, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is not inherited. Just because someone plays in a notable band does not make that person notable. What makes someone or something notable is how much independent reliable sources talk about that someone or something.--3family6 (Talk to me | See what I have done) 19:38, 25 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Would notability be recognized if a bunch of citations proving his 'notableness' were provided? Ie: a bunch of magazine articles declaring him one of the finest guitarists on the planet? But 'being not notable outside of the band' is a slippery slope. Charlie Watts has a wikipedia page - is he notable outside of being a member of the Rolling Stones? Heck, is Kirk Hammet notable outside of being a member of Metallica? Could go on and on listing examples.Robbmonster (talk) 07:08, 22 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
