Condition of CD: STILL SEALED CD! This is the ORIGINAL 1992 CD RELEASE, not the reissue shown by eBay. Parental Advisory Warning!
One review reads 'Folks, this is it. If you remember the original Tampa scene and have managed to avoid falling into the nu-metal/gridcore/black metal quagmire, and for some reason don't have this CD, get it. This album defines the sound that spawned a thousand copycats, and served as inspiration for legions of bands--some good, like Korn, and some crap, like linkin park. Influenced by bands like Bathory, Voivod, Slayer, Metallica (Kill 'em All, not the easy listening they're putting out now), Accept, Chuck Shauldiner's original Death, and so many others, Cannibal Corpse took heavy music to the next level almost single-handedly. I know it's popular not to like this band, but that's because so many chowderheads out there define their taste in music by listening to the bands who sell the least albums. That's fine, but one should not begrudge CC's success, 'cause they ain't exactly Britney Spears...
As far as the record goes, from beginning to end this is exactly what death metal should sound like. Brutal musicianship, horrific lyrics, the most punishing vocals imaginable from the acknowledged king of death, Chris Barnes, and a technicality and precision that started making itself evident even at this early stage in the band's evolution. I'm a huge Fisher fan, but Barnes is the original, and perhaps still the best.
Reanimated corpses lusting for flesh and an opportunity to commit unspeakable acts on you and your family: this is the imagery that defines this genre, and CC wrote the book. '. |
