Late news; Richard Brunelle just passed away late September. Part of the low key announcement was family members keeping it a hushed affair & we respect that. Growing up listening to Morbid Angel (when cassette tapes were it), Brunelle highlighted the fact that guitarists in the death metal genre were legit players; the ability to play is real. All this in the midst of music media trashing the genre for the musicianship & the vocal delivery especially. Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness merited a Top 10 metal album of the year under Guitar World magazine's annual ranking exercise that year & Blessed Are the Sick moved the band on steadily thereafter. To a great loss in talent - Rest in Peace, Richard Gene Brunelle.
