Morbid Angel is a Florida -based Death Metal band assembled in 1983 which was crucial in the development of the death metal genre and standards. Their songs are quite complex in arrangement, owing to the considerable skill of guitarist Trey Azagthoth and drummer Pete Sandoval .

Morbid Angel were one of the original Death Metal bands signed to Earache Records , and were also instrumental in the transition of death metal from its Thrash Metal roots to its current form.

All of Morbid Angel's albums have thus far been released with titles in alphabetical order (A-H), according to their chronology.

Their original lyrical themes dwelled mostly on Satanism and all things anti-Christian, but from "Domination" onward, the lyrics slowly moved towards the Ancient Sumerian Gods, which ended up becoming the focal point of Morbid Angel's lyrical themes from then on, though many other anti-religious themes are still present.
