Background information about 'Heretic'

The eighth chapter in Morbid Angel's legendary discography, "Heretic" stands as a multi-layered, multi-dimensional album that provides an amazing glimpse into the minds of its creators. This release showcases the Florida death metal titans at their most experimental and controversial, featuring a blend of their signature brutal death metal with industrial and electronic elements that divided fans and critics alike. The album's production is notably different from their earlier works, incorporating drum machines and synthesized elements alongside the crushing guitar work that made them legends.

Despite being polarizing upon its initial release, the album has gained appreciation over time for its bold artistic choices and represents an important chapter in the evolution of extreme metal. The album's experimental nature and industrial influences make it a fascinating document of a legendary band exploring new sonic territories.
