This really is mandatory listening for any fan of metal. The vocals are incredibly vicious, but the real star here is the incredible songwriting this legend has put on here. Though more overly influenced by the burgeoning thrash metal scene, it still sends a jolt of depraved excitement through the cerebrum. The riffs of this record are some of the best Prog Death has to offer. Taking their cues from the early Floridian innovators and their love of the most depraved, loathsome horror movies and books known to man, Cannibal Corpse’s debut spewed out of Buffalo, New York just a year after they made their live debut. The sickening riffs seem to seep out of the speakers while the frenzied clattering of drums and brutish vocals of The Spine Splitter still evoke a troop of baboons ripping a body to pieces.
9) Bloodthirst (1999)Ī nasty, downright horrible sounding album even by Cannibal’s standards. The monolithic Code Of The Slashers and title track have proved to be hellish live staples, while the baleful Shedding My Human Skin and Corpse-by-numbers Firestorm Vengeance and Heads Shovelled Off are delightfully abhorrent. As is the case with one of metal's most consistent forces, trying to pick highlights from the Buffalo berserkers' most recent album is a case of splitting hairs with a rusty hatchet.
