'''Morbid Angel''' is based in Tampa, Florida. UK music magazine Terrorizer ranked two Morbid Angel albums in its "Top 40 greatest death metal albums," with their 1989 debut [[Altars of Madness]] appearing at number 1. Decibel Magazine also rated guitarist [[Trey Azagthoth]]  as the number 1 "death metal guitarist ever". The band's songs are complex in arrangement, owing to the considerable technical skills of both Azagthoth and drummer [[Pete Sandoval]] who also played in [[Terrorizer]]. Morbid Angel is the third best-selling death metal band in the United States with sales over 445,000 in the United States alone, with their third album [[Covenant]] being the best-selling death metal album of all time in the United States, at over 127,000 units sold.
