Album Notes & Community Reviews

Slow, dense, and suffocating, 'Gateways to Annihilation' leans heavily into death doom territory, a notable departure from Morbid Angel's usual blistering speed. The album is defined by Steve Tucker's monstrous vocals and incredibly rhythmic, occult-infused heavy guitar work.

Genres

Descriptors: occult, rhythmic, brutal, extreme, guttural
