Abominations of Desolation was a unreleased album by the band Morbid Angel. While it was originally recorded in 1986, the band did not release it at the time due to their dissatisfaction with the final product. These recordings would later be released (in 1991) at the decision of the band's record label, Earache Records. Trey has stated in interviews that this release is non-canonical and was primarily to eliminate the need for the low quality bootlegs that were being sold at the time.
The completed versions of these raw recordings may be found throughout the first three official Morbid Angel albums. Chapel Of Ghouls, Lord Of All Fevers And Plague and Evil Spells (the retitled Welcome To Hell) feature on Altars Of Madness. A truncated version of Unholy Blasphemies, The Ancient Ones (the retitled Azagthoth) and Abominations feature on Blessed Are The Sick. Angel Of Disease found its way onto Convenant, though maintains a lo-fi aesthetic like the original, alienating it from the rest of the album.
