what's the quintessential MA song?

the one that best sums up morbid angel? the one that, years from now, when your kids are like "so who's this morbid angel band i keep hearing about? introduce me to them, keeping in mind that i was born after 2010 and have a seriously crippled attention span," that you will give to them to listen to.
which bes it
*also: yes, we all for the most part think IDI is a subpar album to say the least. so don't say any song on IDI unless you really mean it. and give lots and lots of support if you do. kthx

I vote Too extreme because it's extreme and that's what MA have always been from the very beginning

just kidding
I'd say musically speaking probably Maze of Torment but there's so many others to pick that I enjoy as much if not more than that song. God of emptiness based on it's commercial success probably.

He should buy altars, blessed, covenant and formulas then, one specific song? They aren't even a specific genre really, I couldn't choose one song to describe them myself

i think you should go back and re-read the thread title and also the original post and then revise your choice. i'll give you a hint: it shouldn't contain everything MA has ever released, and also it should only include a single song that best encapsulates the overall experience of morbid angel.

That's a good choice. I think this song is quite underrated actually. Every section of the song speaks volume of all the things that are/were great about MA.

I think Radikult pretty much sums it all up... You know, they've been doing it since 1989 and all that jazz.

I would say Rapture. It's fast, direct and fruital, and isn't too fancy.
Rapture kind of sums up the core of MA's ability over the range of its albums. And if it's the first track you're playing to a MA newbite, then it has the added advantage of accessible production and riffage when compared to some of the other tracks/albums.
