Cannibal Corpse
Biography
"If vomit were a movie, this would be the soundtrack," wrote one critic of Cannibal Corpse's music, some of the most extreme, violent death metal sounds and subject matter ever committed to tape. Reveling in splatter-horror imagery in their often indecipherable lyrics, the group's graphic album artwork and song titles like "Meat Hook Sodomy," "Entrails Ripped from a Virgin's C**t," "F**ked with a Knife," and so on, have -- not surprisingly -- attracted a fair amount of controversy and sometimes resulted in their albums being banned. However, their over-the-top extremity has won them a rabid cult following and made them one of the most popular death metal bands of the '90s; sticking with what works, the band didn't alter or develop its style much over the decade, although fans didn't seem to mind.
Cannibal Corpse was formed in Buffalo, NY, in 1988, their lineup composed mostly of musically active scenesters: vocalist Chris Barnes, guitarists Bob Rusay and Jack Owen, bassist Alex Webster, and drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz. Musically, they were closest to Slayer, although more extreme metal bands like Death also played a role in their sound. A 1989 demo helped the band secure a contract with Metal Blade Records, which released their debut album, Eaten Back to Life, in 1990. A cult following began to build behind the group with albums like 1991's Butchered at Birth and 1992's Tomb of the Mutilated. Bob Rusay was fired in 1993 and replaced with ex-Malevolent Creation guitarist Rob Barrett, who joined the group in time to appear as a club band in the Jim Carrey film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
Barrett debuted on record with 1994's (relatively) more accessible The Bleeding, which proved to be Barnes' final album; 1996's Vile featured ex-Monstrosity vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher. Cannibal Corpse soldiered on through the decade, returning in 1998 with Gallery of Suicide. Bloodthirst followed a year later, and in 2000 the band issued both a video and CD titled Live Cannibalism (their second concert video but first official live album). Gore Obsessed arrived in 2002, followed by the obsessively packaged box set/DVD 15 Year Killing Spree. Their ninth album of all new material, Wretched Spawn, was released in 2004, followed by Kill in 2006. ~ Steve Huey, All Music Guide

I got to see Corpse back in 92 at a small venue in Philly. To this day, that was the best concert I've EVER been to! And for the Death Metal haters-- you don't like it, change the f**cking station. You don't hear most of us whining and crying bout how much christian rock sucks or the 'twang' music or whatever. I've always thought that the one's that complain about it the most, probably love it and are just too embarassed or chicken to say that they actually love the music.

dude not everyone listens to these guys just because they talk about violence. i love the guitars man they can shred!! (although i prefer thrash metal). you don't why someone listens to what they listen to. so don't assume they're listening to te aspect that you hate about the music. man idiots are rampant in this world...what a shame
|
||
This hybrid guy just sounds like a pansy a** that still sleeps with his f**kin teddy bear at night, listening to Raffi and s**t... go finger your grandma some more Hybrid!

Let the kiddies have their c**k rock, its not our fault they are butthurt that they can't understand superior music. Christian rock, haha, makes me want to vomit at how pathetic these emo kids are
|
||
By the way, why the f**k are they so violent? Do you guys really think that listening to a guy scream about c**ming blood or f**king people with a knife is cool. You people make me sick.

Ignorant would be blocking out entire musical genres like rock or rap. Death metal is part of metal, and I will listen to metal. By the way, i'm sure a lot of you hate rap and country. By the way, you're telling me to grow some balls? You guys are the ones flipping out just because I said I hate death metal. Get used to it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates on the death metal pages. You guys are lucky that I am not like Willow or I would be posting this s**t everyday.

I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins. Never did I wanna be here again, And I don't remember why I came. Candles raise my desire, Why I'm so far away. No more meaning to my life, No more reason to stay. Freezing, feeling, Breathe in, breathe in... I'm coming back again... I'm not the one who's so far away When I feel the snake bite enter my veins. Never did I wanna be here again, And I don't remember why I came. |
