I Am Morbid tells the astounding story of David 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.
