At the end of April, Morbidfest 2019 is kicking off on a European/UK tour with a blasting lineup consisting of I Am Morbid, Atrocity, Vital Remains, and Sadist. All four bands have prepared unique sets for this tour to make it even more special.

I Am Morbid, led by the legendary David Vincent, will perform material from Morbid Angel’s Altars Of Madness (1989), Blessed Are The Sick (1991), Covenant (1993) and Domination (1995) albums. This is a great chance for death metal fans to hear their favourite songs live.

Atrocity have prepared a special program comprising the Okkult albums released via Napalm Records and Massacre Records and all the popular death metal classics throughout the band’s history!

An exclusive 30th-anniversary set will be performed by the US blasphemers from Vital Remains within the tour. Finally, progressive death metal veterans Sadist are going to present their recent album Spellbound along with old songs included in the set.
