This album and Covenant are their best releases, in my opinion. The guitar riffing was awesome on both albums and David Vincent was at his best vocal wise
This is probably my favorite album from them. It's one of those CD's you can listen to from start to finish. Every song is good. I still have my copy on cassette tape, although it's magnatized to hell!
I abso-FUCKING-lutely agree with you. "Blessed Are The Sick" is my favorite album from Morbid Angel from start(very disturbing intro with sound of baby crying) to end(beautiful postlude in piano) and everything in between. EVERYTHING. It's sound, composition, its fast fiery aggression, its slow doom feeling, atmosphere, ancient vibes, great lyrics("Born again in blasphemy" is my favorite line), very fast chaotic solos, slow eerie Arabic solos, great acoustic guitar piece and flutes.
Even their album cover("Les Tresor de Satan") and some of old pictures of witchcraft inside the album. And the way they distinguished Trey Azagthoth's solos and Richard Brunnelle's solos with symbols rather than simply indicating them with last names like other bands do. Some "satanic" bands often play fast heavy riffs with some random satanic lyrics but Morbid Angel creates their concept with feelings and atmosphere. Kick ass! Born again in blasphemy.
@unorthodoxtrotsky I got this on cassette when I was a teen. "Covenant" had just come out and I was seriously into. "Blessed Are the Sick" just freaked me the fuck out. The tortured riffs, dragging evil atmosphere, and dense satanic imagery was just EVIL. It almost felt like Satan himself would come rising out of the cassette case. All these years latter, and those first three Morbid Angel albums still contain that sense of unholy energy.
Those first three albums sold me on MA. Been ages since I seen these dudes, but good to know they have not lost the fury!
