Heretic is the seventh studio album by the Florida death metal band Morbid Angel. This would be their last under Earache Records, as the band decided not to renew its contract, and is the last to feature bassist/vocalist Steve Tucker, until his return in 2015. The album was recorded at Diet of Worms Studios by Juan Gonzalez. Heretic is the first Morbid Angel album that was not recorded at Morrisound Recording. Stylistically, this album tends to move between the two differing styles Morbid Angel has toyed with in the past, with moments of powerful speed (like that of Formulas Fatal to the Flesh and Altars of Madness) mixing with moments of atmospheric slowness (like that of Blessed are the Sick and Gateways to Annihilation).
The second track, "Enshrined By Grace" is featured on The Texas Chainsaw Massacre soundtrack. It also had a music video which received airplay in the months following the album release.
The song "Born Again" is actually the intro guitar solo from the song "Secured Limitations" off Gateways to Annihilation.

Additional guitar-solo on "God of Our Own Divinity" by Karl Sanders of Nile.
