Morbid Angel's fifth full length, 'Gateways to Annihilation,' comes to us as a truly monolithic piece of Death Metal. At first listen this may be very hard to consume but I believe it came out of natural, obersvable progression. What Morbid Angel began on 'Blessed Are the Sick' and continued on through David Vincent's departure and their first full length with Steve Tucker is clearly sustained in well form here and even expanded upon to an extent. That certain element I am talking about is a heaviness, an atmosphere, a "larger than life" persona, that seeps through their production, performance, and especially their lyrical content.

Rating: 9 I think this is their most aggressive album, definitely my favorite.

  This is a very underrated album, and my favourite with Steve Tucker on vocals. "Summoning Redemption" is a monstrous song!

Rating: 8 There are some Ripping Corpse style riffs that seep into this album. Listen to the 'Industry' demo and you will see where the ideas for this album come from.

Rating: 8 This sounds like where Bloodbath got their sound for The Fathomless Mastery from.
