Morbid Saint is an American death/thrash metal band from Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The band are well known as having an influence in the genres of blackened thrash and death metal.

After splitting up about half a decade following the release of their debut album Spectrum of Death (1989), Morbid Saint reunited in 2010 and released their first album in 26 years, Destruction System, in 2015. Their third album, Swallowed by Hell, was released on February 9, 2024.[1]

History

Morbid Saint was formed on November 1, 1984[2] in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. The band debuted a demo in 1988 titled Lock Up Your Children, licensed by Edge Entertainment to Mexican label Avanzada Metálica, who reissued it as a full-length album in 1989 under the title Spectrum of Death;[3][4][5][6] however, it was not released other territories until years later.[7] In 1992, they released a fan-exclusive demo titled Destruction System as an advance cassette for a planned second full-length, but never was officially released in latter form. A single-sided demo titled The Black Tape was released later that year containing only four tracks from the Destruction System demo. The band then split-up in 1994.

In early 2010, Morbid Saint announced their reunion with a new line-up, performing various shows in the U.S. and abroad, including the 2012 edition of Maryland Deathfest, Metal on the Rocks in Mexico City and the 2013 edition of the Keep It True festival in Germany.[8] In 2012, the band released the compilation album Thrashaholic, containing both Spectrum of Death and Destruction System in remastered CD-R format, with four new songs and a live DVD in DVD-R format.

In 2014, the band released the live album Beyond the States of Hell, which was recorded live from Beijing. In November 2015, Destruction System was officially released as the band's second full-length album that was originally intended for release in 1992, but went unfinished since then, with new artwork.

By 2022, Morbid Saint had begun writing new material for their third album Swallowed by Hell, which was released on February 9, 2024.[1][9]
