UNHOLY SHIT

Cannibal Corpse have been a huge influence on my musical jounrney., and have played a huge part in my taste for full-tilt musicianship, power and energy. I can still remember the first album, the first song, the first time I read along with the lyrics, the first time a fucking song made me scared shitless and the sounds produced actually made me jump out of my skin. Music had never moved me like that... The only thing close was Slayer some years before... Cannibal Corpse's 'Eaten Back To Life' did that to me.

Now, 12 albums later, Cannibal Corpse CONTINUE to amaze with their unique sonic assault. I observed a slight lull in enthusiasim by founding guitarist Jack Owen for 'Gore Obsessed' and 'The Wretched Spawn'; his songs became kind of predictable and weak from the usually awesomeness I was used to from him... His departure I think has been a good thing, because PAT O'BRIEN HAS BEEN UNLEASHED on this album, along with returning guitarist Rob Barrett! When I heard that Barrett had returned it was a dream come true. My band mates and I would say, 'The ultimate CC guitar duo would be Pat O'brien and Rob Barrett." We would laugh and think it would be a fat chance it ever would happen...

"KILL" is the best metal I've heard.

Then in April 2005, I had the extreme honnor of seeing Barrett's first show back with CC at the Northwest Death Fest in Seattle. It was pretty magical for this metal head! It was the 3rd time I'd seen them, but the first with Barrett. I am teeming with anticipation for their show aug. 10th on the Sound Of The Underground tour in Vancouver...First Cannibal, Gwar and Behemoth, then B-LINE TO SHAMBALAH, and BC/DC on the main stage the next night... I love the rock n roll drama of that last sentence.... Talk about one extreme to the next to the next!

Anyway, buy this fucking album if you haven't already, get high and listen to it and give and bath in the glory of Cannibal Corpse. Ture masters of their domain.
