David Justin Vincent (born April 22, 1965), also known as Evil D, is an American musician who is best known as the former lead vocalist and bassist for the death metal band Morbid Angel as well as the bassist for Genitorturers. His early influences are Kiss and Alice Cooper.
He left Morbid Angel after the 1995 album Domination to join his (now former) wife's industrial metal band, Genitorturers. David's first contribution to the band was backing vocals on the song, "House of Shame", from their major label debut 120 Days of Genitorture. Vincent rejoined Morbid Angel in 2004, and left again in 2015. He currently performs in I Am Morbid, featuring former drummer Tim Yeung.
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.
Vincent contributed lead vocals on the opening song, "Blood Fire War Hate", on Soulfly's 2008 album Conquer. 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 been performing outlaw country music. He even wrote a country song entitled "Buyer Beware," which he performed on January 9 at the White House Saloon in Austin, Texas.
Vincent relocated to Austin, Texas in 2014 where he resides with award-winning music publicist, Suzannne Penley.
