David Vincent (formerly of Morbid Angel) shares which album was the most difficult to make

Former Morbid Angel frontman David Vincent was asked to identify the most difficult record in his repertoire and the most difficult time in his career in a recent interview with Altars Of Metal.

Well, record-wise, probably ‘Illud [Divinum Insanus]’ was the most difficult thing that I’ve done. Yeah, that was a very strange time. That’s when Pete had his injury and he was unable to play. We had just worked in a new guitar player and a new drummer. And the writing process was really, really strange — not what I was accustomed to. I did the best that I could with what I had to work with. And I think there’s some really, really good performances on the record. Some of the material was just very strange. But again, my job is vocals, and I did the very best that I could with what I had to work with.

He also spoke about a difficult period too.

Right at the end, in 1996, when I was leaving the band, I was a very miserable person, and that’s part of the reason why I left. I needed to get some things right with myself. And I did. And even though we were really at an amazing point career-wise, when you’re not happy, you need to address it. And I’m glad I did.
