Morbid Angel released their classic sophomore album Blessed Are The Sick (or third if you’re counting Abominations of Desolation), which naturally included thank yous and notes from each of the band members within. Guitarist Trey Azagthoth’s portion of that segment recently resurfaced online and boy, they’re all over the place. Tony Iommi? Check. John Candy? You bet. The Arylia of Mummu Tiamat? You’re goddamn right.
Check out the full transcribed version of Azagthoth’s thank yous below, courtesy of yours truly. Enjoy.
“This is a list of all the things I love very much. I hail to you Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. It is to you I dedicate all my works of past and present and future. May they outshine the shadowing voices of this other factor of psychic we share existance with. You are the greatest composer of us all.
“Hail to you O Ancient Ones, Absu Mummu Tiamat, Kutulu, Pazuzu, Humwawa, Xaztur, Hub-bur, Kingu, Baxaxaxa Baxaxaxa, The Arylia of Mummu Tiamat, The churning seas of Nar Mat-taru, Yog Sothoth, and the ever bubbly bubblies of Shub Niggurath.
“Bloody chuffed about the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Michael Schenker, Uli Roth, Frank Marino, Robin Trower, Tony Iommi, K.K. Downing, Glen Tipton, building to the great works of Eddy Van Halen, Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Erick and Shaune of Ripping Corpse, and Mike Davis of Nocturnus.
“Favourite recording artistes? Well I must say that I will start with my favourite, LAIBACH, you guys are so fuckin’ special. I also adore Bill Steer & CARCASS, Pestilence, Bolt Thrower, Suffocation, Sarcofago, Blasphemy, Entity, Damnation, Confessor, Possessed, Dark Angel, Deicide, Napalm Death, Obituary, James Murphy, Sepultura, Entombed, Nuclear Death.
“Special chuffly hello to Chevey Chase, John Candy, Bill Murrey, and all Saturday Night Live crew. Pit bulls, Tarus 9mm, hollow point amo, chevy small block 4 bolts, Holleys, Mallary, JVC Dolby Pro Logic surround sound. Cerwin Vegas, Yamaha, Melvins killer bud, Edds killer deals, Raif & Anthony in the big apple. My fishing buddy Kerry. Butcher tearing cat. Ya mammas mamma.
“This is a list of all the things I love very muck: Must say that I’m a bit weakened about the Metal Farces click. How bollocks are you guys really. You dudes should stay on your side of the tracks. You don’t have the ability musically to review our work. Just like those geeks who tried to smother Mozarts work and his voice outlived the lot of them. ZI XUL to you lot.
“And, hows about this mainstream assembly line which keeps pumping out this stuff, yes, we know so well, ah when one experiences such works one must say, ‘It’s cool to be fooled’.”
