COME TO ME, LORD OF FILTH...

Morbid Angel features dominately in our book, naturally, and we had way too many killer photos to choose from, so picking what to include was a total nightmare. Photos that have remained unseen since the golden age still remain that way because we just couldn't use everything. In any event, then we'd have had a Morbid Angel photo book which as you may well understand, would be an entirely different creature on so many fronts, we don't ever forsee a book like that being undertaken by ANYONE, let alone someone who used to work for them.

A logo such as Morbid Angel's, thesedays, is basically a corporate trademark, therefore as the hey dey of our zine lives are well and truly over, one can't just print with impunity. SO: Glorious Times has no band logos, to keep uniformity of presentation and avoid nasty 'imperial entanglements'.

Some of our Malaysian supporters (namely Wan and Ahmad) have been after specific details as per a 1991 Morbid Brazil tour itinerary with dates and venues. Well, Covenant Of Death never did get such a lisiting from management back then, thus the newsletter never got to include the dates, so if anyone out there has a complete list, please do send those in email. The lads there would surely appreciate it.

Inspired by the request for help, and in keeping with the concept of Glorious Times, we figured we'd share some pix NOT in the book or in the old Covenant Of Death newsletter/booklets (well, except for the killer shot of Richard here). They are all from that debut Brazil tour which was a landmark tour for extreme music let alone Morbid Angel. Heralding things to come from this band and it's mega-efficient management juggernaught, which would soon change the face of music forever.

Again we'd like to thank those that provided sentiments, so that we didn't have to resort to writing our own hehehe, because no matter what, a book like this HAD to have something dedicated to the life-changers! Thanks to GT contributors Richard Brunelle (best man to one of the editors first time marriage), Mike Browning and Bruce Davis (Ripping Headaches 'zine - Tampa) And to the photographers, whom sent these photos to the Covenant in 1991 for possible printing in our newsletter, they can be seen NOW after 19 years!
