Perspective
Vincent's early influences include Kiss, Alice Cooper, Black Flag, Slayer, Venom, Voivod and Black Sabbath.[1][2] He typically plays bass with a pick, though he occasionally uses his fingers.
He left Morbid Angel in 1996[3] to join his then-wife's industrial metal band Genitorturers. Vincent's first contribution to the band was backing vocals on the song, "House of Shame", from their major label debut 120 Days of Genitorture.[4] Vincent rejoined Morbid Angel in 2004,[3] and resigned in 2015.[5] He currently performs in I Am Morbid, featuring former drummer Tim Yeung and guitarist Bill Hudson,[6] The Head Cat[7] and death metal supergroup VLTIMAS, alongside Flo Mounier of Cryptopsy and Rune "Blasphemer" Eriksen, formerly of Mayhem (both musicians also collaborated with Steve Tucker before, David Vincent's predecessor and successor in Morbid Angel).[8]
Vincent also played bass on the album World Downfall by the influential grindcore band Terrorizer, with Pete Sandoval (also of Morbid Angel) and Jesse Pintado.[9]
Vincent contributed lead vocals on the opening song, "Blood Fire War Hate", on Soulfly's 2008 album Conquer.[10] In 2015, he collaborated with Mexican metal band Nuclear Chaos, providing lead vocals and appearing in the music video of their single "Suffocate". As of 2016, Vincent has also been performing outlaw country music and released a single, "Drinkin' With The Devil" which he performed live at SXSW in March 2017 in Austin, Texas.[11]
Vincent's biography, I Am Morbid: Ten Lessons Learned from Extreme Metal, Outlaw Country, and the Power of Self-Determination, written with Joel McIver, was published by Jawbone Press in February 2020. The foreword to the book was written by astronomer Matt Taylor.[12][13]

Satanism and personal life
Vincent elaborated on his Satanism in the 2020 book Raising Hell, where he was quoted saying: "My personal beliefs are what they are. It's something that after years of study and meditation and introspection, I have my world view. It's not for everyone and with certain types of knowledge there are additional responsibilities and the only thing that I want to share is what's in my lyrics. I don't proselytize other than what I say in my lyrics. That's always been the best solution for me."[14]
Vincent relocated from Tampa, Florida, in June 2014 to Austin, Texas, where he resides with his wife, Suzanne Penley.[citation needed]
