Morbidfest 2026: I Am Morbid + Atheist + Cancer + Narcotic Wasteland
Three death metal legends converge: I Am Morbid performs the classic Morbid Angel era, Atheist celebrates 35 years of Unquestionable Presence, and Cancer revisits Death Shall Rise.
I Am Morbid is an American death metal band founded in late 2016 by David Vincent, the longtime bassist and vocalist of Morbid Angel. The band exists to perform material from the four classic Vincent-era Morbid Angel albums - Altars of Madness, Blessed Are the Sick, Covenant and Domination - and has no original recordings of its own. The current lineup pairs Vincent with fellow Morbid Angel veteran Pete Sandoval on drums, plus guitarists Bill Hudson and Richie Brown. Vincent has described the project as a deliberate legacy act, keeping those foundational death metal records alive on stage.
David Vincent admitted in an interview for Altars of Metal that he has written his own compositions for I Am Morbid, but is unsure whether fans would be interested in them - he deliberately wants to keep the band as a legacy project.
I Am Morbid stepped in as a replacement for Morbid Angel on the American Devastation of the Nation 2024 tour - it was their very first full-scale tour of the USA.
In June 2025, the band performed at MetalGate Czech Death Fest in Červeném Kostelci.
In summer 2023, the band performed 17 European concerts to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Morbid Angel's album Covenant.
In 2021, drummer Pete Sandoval joined I Am Morbid, reuniting with Vincent on stage for the first time since 2010.
