Cannibal Corpse - Chaos Horrific (2023)

Pionneers of death metal are having a great year, does death keeps alive after all? We had Suffocation, Incantation, Cryptopsy, all good albums (probably also the Autopsy one...). And now a very nice Cannibal Corpse! This time it seems they focused more on writing memorable songs, and it worked really well. And at the same time level of technicality and brutality is still very high. Is Chaos Horrific their best one since Kill or Evisceration Plague? Time will tell, but maybe...

Cannibal Corpse - Violence Unimagined (2021)

Violence Unimagined is the fifteen album from Cannibal Corpse, but there's something new, Erik Rutan (Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal and producer a few times for Cannibal Corpse including this one) replaced Pat O'Brien, so the two guitarist are now Rob Barrett and Erik Rutan. Erik Rutan wrote two songs of the album. Apart from that you'll find the Cannibal Corpse you're used to. On this new album they have plenty of good and memorable tracks, more than on the two previous albums. Violence Unimagined is a good album to listen to Cannibal Corpse again.

Cannibal corpse - A skeletal domain (2014)

Cannibal corpse are still there 25 yeras after they started releasing death metal albums, and once again they are proving that they are the living (or should I say living dead?) embodiment of consistency when it comes to death metal. A skeletal domain is their thirteenth album and another damn good one, not their best for sure, but still an impressive tour de force, delivering the best brutal and technical US death metal you can find. you'll find in the new one what you love in the others, excellent vocal lines in the "corpsegrinder" own feral style, metronomic blast beats from a drummer just doing exactly what the songs needs, jaw dropping basslines, pure badass death metal riffing and soloing all over, and all that melted in excellent songs showing a killer science of how to to mix the monstrous groove the sheer brutality and the horrific atmospheres. this time what is different from their others albums (a bit, they never go very far from their tried and tested formula, and that's not a bad thing if you ask me)? maybe it has a bit more slower and heavier parts, maybe they were in a mood of turning a bit longer the knives into the wounds this time (no songs under 3 minutes, but the couple of songs in the middle of the album are the best illustration of this "turning the knife slower" approach).

Cannibal corpse

If you like Cannibal corpse as much as I like them (best fucking death metal band of all time. period), you should know that a new record called Torture is on the way, to be released on the 13th of march 2012.

The cover art may looks like a censored version, the intensity of the music is still intact judging by the two traks they offer on streaming.

A fast one : demented agression, that you can listen to on American aftermath, here (been removed, sorry...).

and a slower and heavy one : scourge of iron, on the Revolver site, here.

and another mid tempo new song, encased in cocnrete, streaming on Decibel website.

addition : I listened to Torture. no big surprise as usual, but it's cool that they maintain such a high quality. 

as usual if you like your death metal to be really raw and dirty you'll pass your way, but if you're more into technical death metal, over the top musicianship, and great songwriting, then you'll love it!!
