A band of heavy-metal-loving kids from all over America who broke through a host of music industry prejudices and went on to scale huge commercial heights, they introduced a whole new form of extreme music to the world. Formed in 1984, and breaking into the limelight in 1989 with their devastating first album, \u003ci\u003eAltars Of Madness\u003c\/i\u003e, the Florida death metal legends became the first band of their genre to sign to a major label, from which point they came to dominate the worldwide metal scene for two decades and beyond. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid left Morbid Angel in 1996, and again, following a reunion, in 2015.
