Morbid Angel Unveil New Album “Infernal Ascension” and Announce 2025 World Tour
In a monumental announcement for death metal fans worldwide, Morbid Angel is set to release their highly anticipated new album, *”Infernal Ascension,”* in early 2025. As pioneers of the genre, Morbid Angel has continued to redefine the boundaries of extreme metal, and this latest offering promises to be their most intense and complex work to date. The album marks their first release in over five years and is expected to bring the band back to their brutal roots while exploring new sonic landscapes.
*”Infernal Ascension”* will feature 10 blistering tracks, blending the band’s signature technical prowess with a darker, more atmospheric tone. Guitarist and founding member Trey Azagthoth hinted that the album explores themes of cosmic horror, spiritual warfare, and human mortality. “We’ve been diving deeper into the abyss, experimenting with soundscapes that create a more immersive, otherworldly experience while staying true to the raw power of death metal,” said Azagthoth in a recent interview. Fans can expect aggressive riffs, thunderous drums, and guttural vocals that push the envelope of what death metal can achieve.
To coincide with the album’s release, Morbid Angel has also announced the *Infernal Ascension World Tour* for 2025, which will see them performing in North America, Europe, South America, and select dates in Asia. This tour is set to be a spectacle, with elaborate stage production designed to match the dark and apocalyptic themes of the album. Fans can expect a full assault on the senses, with Morbid Angel’s iconic live energy combined with an immersive, cinematic atmosphere.
The first single from *”Infernal Ascension,”* titled “Descent into the Abyss,” will drop in December 2024, accompanied by a music video that promises to be as intense and mind-bending as the song itself. With the new album and a massive tour on the horizon, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for Morbid Angel, solidifying their legacy as legends of death metal.
