Altars of Madness is Morbid Angel's debut album, and a milestone in the history of death metal. The remastered version (released 2003) included several "remixed" versions of songs from the album. 2006 saw a dualdisc release with the 2003 remaster on the audio side and 'Live Madness 89' recorded at Nottingham Rock City on the 14th of November 1989 on the DVD side. This album also contains a few perennial live favourites, such as "Chapel of Ghouls", "Blasphemy", and "Maze of Torment".
