About
Recorded in 1986 as their first album, with David Vincent producing, but never put out. They finally released it in 1991 through Earache after a series of bootlegs were produced. Line-up: Mike Browning - vocals, drums Trey Azagthoth - guitar John Ortega - bass guitar Richard Brunelle - guitar Most of the songs were reworked and appeared on later Morbid Angel albums. "Chapel of Ghouls," "Lord of All Fevers and Plague, and "Welcome to Hell" (renamed "Evil Spells") can be heard on Altars of Madness. "Unholy Blasphemies," "Abominations," and "Azagthoth" (renamed "The Ancient Ones") are on Blessed Are the Sick. "Angel of Disease" was recorded for Covenant, and lastly, "Hell Spawn" finally appeared on Formulas Fatal to the Flesh as "Hellspawn: The Rebirth." To date "Demon Seed" is the only song from these sessions that has not been re-recorded for a full-length album.

This was the first full-length album recorded by Morbid Angel. The recording took place in 1986 and was financed and produced by David Vincent, who was not a member of the band at the time. Guitarist Trey Azagthoth was unhappy with the finished product and the release was shelved. It was finally officially released in 1991 to combat bootlegging.
All songs from the album except for "Demon Seed" have been re-recorded on later albums. Apart from the obvious ones, these songs have received different titles for their re-recorded versions:
"Azagthoth" became "The Ancient Ones"
"Hell Spawn" became "Hellspawn: The Rebirth"
"Welcome To Hell" became "Evil Spells"
