MORBID ANGEL - Heretic LP (Black Vinyl)

Morbid Angel will always remain my favorite death metal band, and stuff like this is exactly why. On Heretic, the band is at their most experimental music-wise. After their first 4 albums they decided to mess around and experiment more with their signature sound in order to create a new style and feel, Heretic being a prime example of just that.

The obvious downsides of the album are the tons of unnecessary interlude/silence/noise tracks, everyone knows this. There's more of those than actual songs on the album. Even though those random tracks take up more than half of the space on the album, the music itself is too good to deem Heretic as a "bad" release. The random interlude/silence/noise tracks are the only bad part about this album, if there were less or none, Heretic would be an easy 10/10, and even more perfect than it already is. Me along with all the other smart people know and realize+recognize that Heretic is truly a masterpiece aside from the absolute filler of noise tracks here.
