Cannibal Corpse
Album: Evisceration Plague
Release Date: February 3, 2009
Label: Metal Blade Records

Cannibal Corpse is the champions in the death metal genre. Their music helped make the death metal genre in getting noticed by the mainstream. After playing music for over twenty years the band is back with their eleventh studio album and there is no stopping them now.

Evisceration Plague is a nonstop, head pounding death metal album that will pierce a hole in your brain. The latest release from Corpse has some of the most brutal guitar work I have ever heard from the band. The last time I can remember guitar work like this was on the bands classic fifth album, Vile. Cannibal Corpse has really stepped up their game with this release, it is insane!

The band has that song writing style that makes them infamous. The lyrical content is just as gruesome as ever. Things might seem a little tame than past Corpse albums and that might be the bands success talking. As of late Cannibal Corpse has been hitting new heights and Evisceration Plague could be that album more people buy, hence the tiny tone down.

Erik Rutan of Hate Eternal fame is back as the producer. This time around Rutan got the guys to try something new. At a few times the music on the album goes a little slower than most Corpse albums. It is a new experience that might upset some at first, but when you listen to the album again you will hear how the songs sound that much better.

Final Verdict
There is no stopping Cannibal Corpse. After all of the releases the bands have put out this is one that stands out. The new sound Erik Rutan pushed these guys to try is a success. Evisceration Plague is a classic Corpse album; pick this one up if you are a fan of extreme music.
