I Am Morbid are an American death metal cover and tribute band formed in late 2016, by bassist/vocalist David Vincent and drummer Tim Yeung, both former members of Morbid Angel. [1]
In June 2015, both Vincent and Yeung parted ways with Morbid Angel, [2] [3] alongside guitarist Thor "Destructhor" Myhren. [4] The two subsequently formed I Am Morbid, named after a song from Illud Divinum Insanus (2011). [5] The band was announced in December 2016, and originally featured guitarists Bill Hudson and Ira Black. [1] Vincent said that the band would only play music from early albums specifically Altars of Madness (1989), Blessed Are the Sick (1991) Covenant (1993) and Domination (1995). [1]
The band played their first show in Krasnodar, Russia on May 23, 2017, [6] finishing at the Alcatraz Metal Festival 2017, replacing Morbid Angel who had cancelled their European tour dates. [7] In 2021, Yeung and Black were replaced by Pete Sandoval (also ex-Morbid Angel) and Kelly McLauchlin. [8] McLauchlin left in October 2022, he was replaced by Richie Brown. [9]
