MORBID ANGEL: New Album To Surface In September

According to a spokesperson for World Management, the songwriting process for the next MORBID ANGEL album is "moving along great" and the band are planning a September 2003 release through Earache Records for the effort. A world tour in support of the album will commence a short time later. An official announcement regarding the identity of the group's bassist/vocalist and second guitarist (following the departures of Jared Anderson and Erik Rutan, respectively) is expected "very soon." MORBID ANGEL's last studio album, "Gateways To Annihilation", came out in 2000.
