Blessed Are the Sick is the second studio album by American death metal band Morbid Angel, released on May 2, 1991 through Earache Records.

[citation needed] According to Chris Krovatin of Kerrang, "while Altars is straight-up death metal horror, Blessed is a strange and static album, with Morbid Angel's more straightforward moments peppered between arcane, Lovecraftian passages of twisting guitars and off-kilter drumming.

It’s a starker and more unique approach to the genre, and one that set Morbid Angel apart from the rest of the blood-drenched pack.

[8] Bradley Torreano of AllMusic commended the Morbid Angel for not "[wasting] time noodling on forgettable riffs and needless tempo changes the way so many of their contemporaries did," and said the band joined "the upper class of death metal bands" with the album.

[9] All lyrics are written by David Vincent, except where noted; all music is composed by Trey Azagthoth, except "Desolate Ways" by Richard Brunelle.
