This Day in Metal

26 MAR

1965

Trey Azagthoth — birth name George Emmanuel III — was born on March 26, 1965 in Bellingham, Washington. As the founding guitarist and creative force of MORBID ANGEL, Azagthoth is one of death metal's most important and distinctive musicians. His playing style — characterized by atonal, almost random-seeming runs, unconventional scale choices, and a commitment to pure sonic evil — helped define the Florida death metal sound that emerged from Tampa in the late 1980s. MORBID ANGEL's debut "Altars of Madness" (1989) was a seismic event in extreme metal, and albums like "Blessed Are the Sick" (1991), "Covenant" (1993), and "Domination" (1995) maintained the band's position at the genre's pinnacle. Azagthoth's guitar solos are deliberately dissonant, unsettling, and unlike anyone else in metal — pure channeled chaos that matches MORBID ANGEL's demonic theological mythology.
