David Vincent, reinserted frontman of the pioneering death-metallers Morbid Angel, has confirmed that the band will be playing some brand-new material from their forthcoming as-of-yet untitled album during their upcoming festival tour. The news came during an interview on "Tinitus," a Norwegian radio show.





















The tour will also mark the debut of Destructhor, the band's new guitarist. "We had several people [apply for the job] - very good players from all over the world," said David according to Blabbermouth. "We got a video from Thor - the same video that we asked from all the different players, the same two songs. Some people didn't get past the initial discussion stage, and then some people went on to the next stage, and it ended up that the band unanimously felt that Thor would be the best guitarist for the band."
