MORBID ANGEL Premiere ‘Garden Of Disdain’ Music Video
May 7th, 2018

Tampa, Florida-based death metal group Morbid Angel have released a music video for the track ‘Garden Of Disdain’. Produced by Nadar Sadek, the clip can be viewed below.

Sadek commented: “My intention is to create a visual parallel to the song, a theme which repeats, yet within the loop-lay textures are controlled twists and turns. It was a bonus that I had the opportunity to use Sumerian iconography as well as obscure symbols of the pre-ancient past such as the Merkaba, a galaxy-roaming vessel.”

Vocalist / bassist Steve Tucker added: “Nader does some of the most interesting and dark visual art I have ever seen. We were excited to work with him and see our musical ideas put into such amazing visuals!”

Morbid Angel issued ninth full-length studio album Kingdoms Disdained on December 1st, 2017 through Silver Lining Music, with JVC handling Japanese release.

The outing was recorded at Mana Recording in St. Petersburg, Florida with producer and former Morbid Angel guitarist Erik Rutan.

Performing drum duties on the album is Annihilated member Scott Fuller. The platter will mark the first Morbid Angel outing to feature Tucker since September 2003’s Heretic. Tucker’s re-entry into Morbid Angel’s ranks was confirmed on June 15th, 2015, signalling the departure of David Vincent. The exit of drummer Tim Yeung was disclosed that same day.

Cover artwork was created by Irish mixed-media artist Ken Coleman.
