MORBID ANGEL: Tim Yeung Discusses Learning "Hard" Songs, Drumming Techniques & Future Projects!

Iconic Death Metallers MORBID ANGEL are currently part of a month long North American tour with Sweden's DARK FUNERAL, GRAVE and VADIM VON. The tour will conclude on October 19th in San Antonio, Texas and is NOT to be missed!

The band is touring in support of their latest album, 'Illud Divinum Insanus' which was released by Season of Mist last year. The very controversial album is MORBID ANGEL's eighth studio release and is the first album in 16 years to feature bassist/vocalist David Vincent.

Last Wednesday, September 26, MORBID ANGEL performed at B.B. King's in New York City and proved once again why they are one of the strongest live bands in the world. In typical MORBID ANGEL fashion, the band was nursing a brutal hangover after a day/night off in the "Big Apple", but this did not affect their performance whatsoever. After all, they all are professional drinkers!

Prior to the bands performance, we were able to chat with the bands skin master Tim Yeung. During the conversation, Yeung told us about the bands current tour in support of their latest album 'Illud Divinum Insanus' and how even he was surprised when he first heard the bands latest sonic arsenal. We also discussed drumming techniques and how he handles extensive recording sessions by using his favorite drumming weapons of choice. We also talked about his NEW Rock N' Roll driven band DEATH DIVISION and about the future of DIVINE HERESY. Crank the volume to 11 and listen up!

Morbid Angel Reveal Details About Remix Album!

When Death Metallers Morbid Angel unleashed their latest album entitled "Illud Divinum Insanus" on June 7th via Season Of Mist, the Heavy Music community was appalled by what the band had created. Many believe that the band experimented way too much and as a result many diehard Morbid Angel fans were pissed off, some even turned their backs on the band. This is what vocalist/bassist David Vincent had to say about the bands latest musical creation:

"Well, the only thing we do is make music and we're creative. We don't think about these things so much. We do what we do. My work is done, other than we perform. But the studio is done. We made a record that broke down a lot of boundaries and included some stuff that was never included before. But we've always done these kind of things. It should be no surprise to anyone that we always do crazy things, 'cause we crazy."

"Illud Divinum Insanus", sold around 3,600 copies in the U.S. during its first week of being released and entered The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 141. This album marks Morbid Angel's first CD to feature bassist/vocalist David Vincent since 1995's "Domination".

The compilation will feature 39 artists from the electro/industrial, techno and club scene.
