Fan-filmed video footage of
MORBID ANGEL's December 21, 2008 concert at the Melkweg in Amsterdam, Netherlands can be viewed below (clips uploaded by

MORBID ANGEL played its first show with new touring guitarist,
ZYKLON's longtime axemeister
Destructhor (a.k.a.
Thor Anders Myhren), on June 22 at the
Hellfest in Clisson, France.
Although
MORBID ANGEL's upcoming album does not currently have a name, its title will likely begin with the letter "I", in keeping with the band's tradition of titling their albums in alphabetical order beginning with 1989's
"Altars of Madness", and continuing through
"Heretic".
"A lot of people around the world have come up with titles that they thought it would be,"
David Vincent told Norway's
"Tinitus" radio show in an interview that aired in June 2008. "There is no title yet — we've not decided on it. We've not decided whether it's going to continue following the alphabet or not. So anything that you hear or read on the Internet is totally speculation by anyone."
MORBID ANGEL's follow-up to 2003's
"Heretic" will mark the group's first release to feature
David Vincent since 1995's
"Domination".
MORBID ANGEL is presently unsigned, having parted ways with
Earache Records following
"Heretic"'s release.
Regarding
Destructhor's addition to the band's touring lineup,
Vincent said, "We had a fairly long audition process. We looked long and hard at this. We decided when we began this process that it was gonna be a unanimous decision. We had several people [apply for the job] — very good players from, really, all over the world — and we got a video from
Thor — the same video that we asked from all the different players; the same two songs — and some people didn't get past the initial discussion stage, and then some people went on to the next stage and it ended up that the band unanimously felt that
Thor would be the best guitarist for the band."
MORBID ANGEL's current lineup is rounded out by guitarist
Trey Azagthoth and drummer
Pete Sandoval.
"Nevermore" (new song for next album):
"Rapture":
"Sworn to the Black":
"Blood on my Hands":
