Former MORBID ANGEL Frontman DAVID VINCENT To Release ‘I Am Morbid’ Autobiography In February

Former MORBID ANGEL frontman David Vincent will release his autobiography, “I Am Morbid: Ten Lessons Learned From Extreme Metal, Outlaw Country, And The Power Of Self-Determination”, on paperback on February 11, 2020 via Jawbone Press.

“I Am Morbid” tells the astounding story of Vincent, former bassist and singer with MORBID ANGEL and now outlaw-country performer and leader of the I AM MORBID supergroup. Written with the bestselling author Joel McIver, it’s an autobiography that transcends the heavy metal category by its very nature. Much more than a mere memoir, “I Am Morbid” is an instruction manual for life at the sharp end — a gathering of wisdom distilled into ten acute lessons for anyone interested in furthering their fortunes in life.

MORBID ANGEL redefined the term pioneers. 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, “Altars Of Madness”, 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.

David left MORBID ANGEL in 1996, and again, following a reunion, in 2015. For the first time, “I Am Morbid” explores the reasons behind his departure, and the transformation of his life, career, and music in the years since. This is a classic but never predictable tale of a man who has fought convention every step of the way — and won.

Vincent recently released “Something Wicked Marches In”, the debut album from his supergroup VLTIMAS, also featuring guitarist Rune Eriksen (formerly of MAYHEM) and CRYPTOPSY drummer Flo Mounier.
