Kill - Cannibal Corpse

Advantages: Extremely loyal fanbase / awesome riffs / heavy as hell / talented musicians / pioneers of death metal
Disadvantages: Departure of Jack Owen / I missed their last tour :( / media controversy

...INTRO It's hard to imagine how a band such as Cannibal Corpse became one of the most widely respected and important death metal acts of the nineties and early 21st century. With little to no air time or radio support Cannibal Corpse relied heavily on word of mouth and a strong fan base to get to where they are today. With their tenth studio album having been released recently (entitled "Kill"), they are still pulverising the masses with their blend of sickening guitar riffs and throat aching vocals. Said to have one of the most loyal fan bases of all time it's easy to see why Cannibal Corpse appreciate each and every person that attends a gig or buys their CDs. They refuse to soften their sound or fold to modern standards and this is partly why fans keep coming back for more; bloodthirsty as ever. They shot to semi... Read review

Advantages: One of the most hardcore Cannibal Corpse albums to date
Disadvantages: Might put off new listeners due to vocal style.

...This is Cannibal Corpse's second album, and possibly most contreversial. For example the album was banned in Germany until 2006 due to the gorey cover art that includes zombies, disemboweled mother and hundreds of hanging fetuses The guitar and general sound of the album is less heavy than that of later albums, due to drop tuning of the guitars later in their career. Howver the vocals are more uncomprehensible on thsi album, giving the album a more brutal feel. This album has been suggested to be one of the greatest Cannibal Corpse have done to date. My personal favourite track is 'Rancid Amputation' . This song features really heavy riffs and an impressive guitar solo. This song was covered in a parody by an australian comic team.

Disadvantages: only 5 songs :(

...If I'm honest this is band I've known about ever since I can remember however only in a mick take of them. My uncle knew about them and use to make a joke out of there music. Because it was death metal band and had a lot of growls not many people enjoyed the beauty of them. I grew up just known the band Cannibal Corpse and the fact that they played a song called Hammer smashed faced (very pleasant name huh? All these wonderful named songs I listen to =P) that was a very aggressive and harsh song although personally, I had never heard the song so like my uncle and the rest of the family I mocked the band's song. During the past years I started to get into the darker side of music, it only started of with bands like good charlotte, evanescence and panic at the disco but that slowly crept into things like bullet for my valentine and Trivuim...
