MORBID ANGEL "God of Emptiness" By GORGUTS / MISERY INDEX | Metal Injection

[@agentxxvii]

Q: What tuning is this? A: 2 steps below the depths of hell.

[@Kinsen77]

7 string tuned down 1/2 step.

[@swinaecologist9610]

I always called this the zero gravity riff because it makes me feel weightless when I hear it lmao

[@MaskedRiderChris]

B flat standard, actually, but close enough! :)

[@ChondroMan]

B flat the devils note. ;)

What a dirty evil riff. Trey is an underrated riff writer in the metal world. They’re so heavy and sludgey. Most sludge bands wish they could write riffs like this.

True 😅

He's probably the most revered guitarist in death metal

This song is totally one he could have retired on. It's really amazing.

[@nickgregory2947]

Anyone who actually knows metal knows Trey, Morbid Angel, and how ridiculously talented he is. If he’s underrated at all in metal in general, not death metal specifically, it’s because those fans or bands who underrate him don’t actually know who he is, lol.

Always thought this song was the absolute epitome of Death Metal. This cover just reinforces that \m/

[@SuicidalGrind]

This to me is the heaviest song I've heard honestly, not because the vocals which most people will focus so much, sometimes too much on. But what this has that Black Tongue doesn't, is that low fucking guitar tone that's just impossible to explain because it's the massivest thing I've ever heard.

[@deanbartolo6199]

[@nickisworking]

Agreed!

Man the series is getting beastly

[@Three-LeggedCat]

Indeed, needs more MA

[@eldiablo3794]

Thank you Trey Azagthoth for writing some of the most killer, brutal fucking riffs. Man, I miss seeing live music!! By the way can somebody do a cover of Deicide in this series? That would be awesome. Something off of serpents of the light. That entire album is underrated imo.

[@drunkswithguns4124]

serpents is their best work but one of the worst mixed IMO

[@eldiablo3794]

@@drunkswithguns4124 Yea I can agree on that it sounds more like a demo recording lol But the songs are awesome. I'd also like to see this series attempt cryptopsy especially the songs off none so vile. I feel like that band doesn't get the recognition they deserve.

[@johnvega2696]

Deicide self titled , legion or once upon the cross

[@danielwilson9724]

@@johnvega2696 im with u , the first two is where Deicide were in full prime, Legion being a bit more technical but self titled being the only music tht legitimately scared me whn it came out cause I was all of 12 yrs old and besides Death or Cannibal Corpse, Deicide were my Death Metal introduction to extremely blasphemous music and I literally felt like Glen was conjuring something in my house when it was playing, I still get goosebumps just talking about it.. Once upon the Cross is the last album of thm I was basically on board with fully, though I like alot of tracks on Serpents of the Light they really started and eventually DID lose me after those records, and idc wht anyone says but I think the Hoffman brothers WAS the Deicide sound , especially the first two!! Those ridiculous awesome riffs with the gallop picking in it just ripped my fucking head off my neck Everytime!!!

[@eldiablo3794]

@@drunkswithguns4124 Also, I wonder why the mix sucked because it was recorded at Morrisound studios just like their previous albums. I think Deicide recorded everything from their demo through their 2001 In Torment in Hell album at that studio. They are famous for having a distinct sound to their recordings... and for some reason their album Serpents sounded way different from their other records like you stated. I wonder what they changed up that made that record sound bad engineering wise.

[@ELMAESTROCARNICERO]

This guys nailed it, the best cover of God of emptiness I've ever heard... stay metal.

[@realitygutter9694]

The most serious shit of the series so far.

[@jonrogers1497]

I was just listening to Blessed are the Sick in my Dodge today and realized it's now oldies. Covenant was like 2 years later? This is like my dad's Jethro Tull 8 track. This aging stuff is b.s.

Man...god of emptiness, possibly the heaviest song I've ever heard, the riffs are so sickly and deformed but dripping with a dark grandeur and complexity, brutal vocals, awesome lyrics it really was and is a very innovative unique song, and you guys definitely did it justice.

[@yoe91]

For 1993 the riffing patterns and concepts on this song specifically were on an entirely different level to everything else that was being done in metal. Heck, still is today. Good cover here.

[@WilliamGleasonMedia]

I like his vocals on this better than the original version...tbh.

[@henriquegoulartgeneroso]

@@WilliamGleasonMedia yes his vocals feel so much more intense and so powerfull, and his style is so unique and its even cooler when you notice that every project that he is in he is doing the vocals

[@METALLiCMETALLEr]

The best by far

[@Aenigmakil]

Not for me. But he's up there. After Vincent, Schuldiner, Åkerfeldt and along with Ross Dolan.

[@thefilmeffect6089]

I didn't like it at all. He just sounded like he trying to take a shit. I get he doesn't have those David Vincent lows, but this sounded way overproduced to cover the vocals. I was excited after seeing some of the other covers in this event, but it was a pretty forgettable cover for me.

[@Mgonzaa52]

I’ve never been big on death metal, i’ll only find a few things here and there that resonates with me but when i first heard morbid angel on this song….. the amount of chills i got dude holy shit this song fuckign rips cheeks. Love the goeguts cover too

[@biorythmicshifter]

This only proves that no one can sound like Morbid Angel especially in the guitar playing…Trey’s style is almost beyond human comprehension.

[@Aenigmakil]

Very true. This is a KILLER cover! But not as good, because of what you said 🤘🏾

[@panziniman]

Yes! Finally someone acknowledges it!

[@Mike_Jones1980]

He did once say something along the lines of "channeling The Old Gods through the guitar" when asked about his playing or writing style.

[@GoBills_GoBigBlue]

Also, MA had (in my opinion) the perfect production for what they were doing at that time. Which made it more remarkable for what it was.

[@ferox965]

Takes guts to even attempt Azagthoth.

[@lancepage1914]

One of the last bands I saw before the pandemic. Gorguts and Blasphemy. Glad it was one of them.

[@MaskedRiderChris]

One of my favorite MA songs, and not half bad at all, fellows! Luc put his own stamp on the vocals, which are David Vincent at his best and most guttural/evil, and I like what he did with the clean singing at the end with the layering effect that made it sound especially eerie and haunting. Good job, sir!
