    Full Dynamic Range Rules!
  

*by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2019*

Witness the majesty of Morbid Angel's debut LP "Altars of Madness". This record is a singularity in the pantheon of extreme music. Born from a scene that was already coming up against it's inherent limitations, MA somehow transcended into timeless glory on this album. Guitarist/mastermind Trey Azagthoth is a true genius whose name doesn't make it on to very many "best guitarist" lists outside of the metal underground, but this is the mainstreams loss.David Vincent's vocals are simultaneously guttural, yet decipherable, becoming iconic in their own right.The drumming of Pete Sandoval-well, this is the stuff of legend. Many a band from Florida in the late 80s/early 90s was fast, but not THIS fast. Pete pushed the speed limit of death metal to grindcore tempos (see-Terrorizer), giving rise to the genre of death/grind. One could make and argument that Repulsion already did that a few years back with their "Horrified" LP, but even that record couldn't touch the musicianship on display here. Add to this the often talked about "otherworldly" vibe that the record exudes and you have a bone fide masterpiece on you hands.All of that out of the way, this review is based on the recent Earache reissue of the record on LP and CD as part of their "Expanded Dynamic Range" series. Several classic Earache releases are getting this treatment, and I for one applaud it.Throughout the 90s and part of the 2000s, "remaster" came to be a dirty word for music fans. It usually mean that the record in question was going to come out sounding like bricked out garbage. Victims of the "Loudness War", (look this up for an afternoon of intriguing reading!) remastered albums hitting the shelves were lacking in highs and lows, with everything crammed into the middle and then made LOUD. They sounded awful, and completely ruined the intended sound of the original recordings.The cure? Go back to the original master tapes, clean them up to get them sounding as authentic to the recording sessions as possible, and press them with the dynamic range (basically the sonic difference between quiet and loud moments on the record) fully intact. When you play them, they don't sound much louder than the original copy you probably own. But when you turn the volume up, it's a pleasant surprise to not have your ears blown out! For the music fans who care about this stuff, these editions are worthy additions to their collections without a doubt.My only beef with this particular record is that there is no CD booklet. The EDR versions of Napalm Death's first 2 LPs came with booklets of lyrics/photos. So, it's pretty bare bones on that count and it leads me to believe that someone like myself who has had a copy of this record for 29 years is the intended audience. Keep the original for lyrics and photos (and the 3 remixes!) and play the new one LOUDLY!!!A side by side play comparison with my original  CD from 1989 gives the sonic edge to the new one in volume by only a hair. No big deal, with the point being how does it stack up when the volume knob gets turned clockwise?The EDR really kicks in when you crank it up, sounding full, balanced and preserved at high volume. The original CD had a limit to the volume you could play it on without getting grating to the ears.In the final analysis of this reissue, it's a winner and Earache earns your cash for it. Now go buy it!!!

    Morbid Angels debut album.
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020*

The first of many good ones to come.This album is actually a rerecording of many songs from Morbid Angels first attempt "Abominations of Desolation" but Azagthoth wanted better and ended up creating what would become one of the more notable albums of the genre for future generations of metalheads.

    Death metal masterpiece!
  

*by M***5 on Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2015*

What can really be said about Morbid Angel's "Altars of Madness" that hasn't already been stretched over the past 15+ reviews? Plainly, it's a genuinely bludgeoning, visceral, blood-curdling display of satanic death metal, that somehow manages to remain technical, precise and consistent throughout all of its 10 tracks. If I could liken each Morbid Angel to a criminal, this would, without a doubt, be the kerosene-wielding church-burning maniac. "Altars of Madness" really is that good. Yes, it really is worth all the hype. It's raw. It's brutal. It achieves everything you want from a classic death metal album. And yes, if you haven't already got it, do yourself a massive favour and check it out. Lastly this record got me into death metal so it pretty much has a special place in my heart!
