Morbid Angel replaced by I Am Morbid on upcoming "Devastation on The Nation Tour"
Florida death metal legends Morbid Angel have been swapped out of this fall's "Devastation On The Nation Tour" and replaced by I Am Morbid—a tribute act fronted by Morbid Angel's ex-members David Vincent and Pete Sandoval.
While the specifics behind Morbid Angel's exit haven't been revealed, I Am Morbid will take over as headliners in their place.
I Am Morbid joins the tour package consisting of New York death metal icons Suffocation, alongside UADA, Mortiferum, Fulci, and Knoll.
The run will kick off in Tampa, FL on November 11th and run though December 14th when the tour returns back to Florida stopping in Ft. Lauderdale.
Tour organizers released the following statement:
The highly anticipated DEVASTATION ON THE NATION Tour presented by @voxandhops kicks off in less than three weeks, and we've got an important update to share!
Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Morbid Angel will no longer be joining us on this tour. Stepping up to take the headlining spot is none other than @iammorbidband! Fronted by David Vincent, the original Morbid Angel vocalist and bassist, the band includes Morbid Angel's original and legendary drummer Pete Sandoval, and guitarists Bill Hudson (Doro, Northtale) and Richie Brown (Terrorizer, ex-Trivium).
Get ready to be blown away as I AM MORBID delivers an unforgettable set, performing classic tracks from the Vincent & Sandoval era, including fan favorites from "Altars of Madness," "Blessed Are The Sick," "Covenant," and "Domination."
"A U.S. tour for I AM MORBID is long overdue. We are looking forward to bringing the old school morbid legacy to our friends across the nation!" - David Vincent
