Director:

Juan Gonzales

Runtime: 61 min

Konačno, dokumentarac o MORBID ANGEL i priča o njihovom najjačem albumu "Blessed Are The Sick", mada i "Covenant" jebe oca, ali mi je ipak Blessed nekako draži, valjda zato što sam ga slušao baš u doba kada se pojavio, i ono baš sam ga slušao, jer takvo nešto ranije zaista nisam čuo, tako predrkana produkcija, tako jak vokal, i spori rifovi poput onog početog na "Fall From Grace" gde tačno možeš da osetiš to ZLO koje se lagano valja nekom vukojebinom. Naravno naslovna numera tu dominira sa onim završnim lafkraftovskim smirajem flaute "Leading the Rats". Ne treba zanemariti ni Laibach-inspired radove u "Doomsday Celebration" i "In Remembrance", gde sam kontao jebote ovi se ladno lože na Laibach ili sam ja istripovao, što se 3 godine kasnije ispostavilo kao skroz tačno kad je izašao EP sa Laibach remiksima pesmica sa "Covenanta". Ono što je mene možda i najviše dojmilo je pesma odsvirana na akustičnoj gitari "Desolate Ways" koju sam nekim čudom uspeo da skinem i evo, i dan danas je rado sviram.

Uglavnom, moje mišljenje je da je ovo najkompletniji album Morbid Angela, jer sadrži sve elemente death metala, e sad, ja sam ovo možda malo i lupio jer otkud ja znam šta su elementi death metala, ali tako sam ja to skontao, ima sporih stvari, ima brzih, ima akustičnih, ima tih prelaza kao što su "Doomsday Celebration" i šta ćeš više ? E baš zbog toga mi je izuzetno drago što se jedini dokumentarac o Morbid Angelu na koji sam do sad naleteo bavi upravo ovim albumom, a ne npr. "Covenantom" koji takođe ima odlične elemente, ali ih nema dovoljno da zadovolji moju istančanu potrebu za onostranim.

"MORBID ANGEL can still, despite their recent shortcomings, never fail to elicit a spirited cheer within the Metal underground. They single-handedly crafted some of the deadliest, most sinister riffs in American Metal history. For that, they are forever deserving of the utmost respect. "Blessed Are The Sick" was their second album, the "B" album - an album that was, and is, appreciated just as much as "Altars Of Madness" even though the two albums sound very unalike. As Trey Azagthoth, the guitarist, himself explained in an old video interview, "Blessed Are The Sick", "...has got fast stuff, it's got slow, sludgy stuff. It's got everything." True to his word, "Blessed…" is much more varied in focus than its predecessor. 'Tales of the sick - a closer look' predominantly focuses on the creation and promotion of "Blessed Are The Sick". It contains interviews of band members, studio engineers, techs, and tour managers who were all involved in the (often painful) cultivation of the metal magnum opus."
