Blessed Are the Sick is the second official release from death metal band Morbid Angel. It features an overall slower musical sound, although containing very fast riffs, and reveals another side of the band, with classical music undertones (main composer Trey Azagthoth would dedicate this album to Mozart). Tracks 8, 9, 10 and 12 are re-recorded songs, including material from the 1986 unofficial demo, Abominations of Desolation. The cover painting is "Les Tresors de Satan" by Jean Delville (1867-1952). Many people confuse the issue of saying that Swedish Thrash Metal band, Hexenhaus stole the album cover from Morbid Angel for their album A Tribute to Insanity. However, Hexenhaus' album came out in 1988, while this album was released in 1991. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
