Featured review by: UG Team, on february 03, 2009

Sound: After earning praise from critics and fans alike for 2006’s Kill, the controversial death metal icons in Cannibal Corpse are back with another solid offering. Evisceration Plague marks the return of producer Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, Morbid Angel), and it was a wise move on the band’s part. The latest release maintains the furious energy and seamless guitar work heard on Kill, and in ways it’s even taken up a notch. There won’t be any huge surprises along the way if you’re familiar with Cannibal Corpse’s work, but given the band’s past extremes in the musical and lyrical department, that would be a difficult task.

If there’s one thing that certainly is evident from the get-go, it’s Cannibal Corpse’s obvious influence on the animated metal band Dethklok. From the chugging guitars to the Nathan Explosion-like vocals, it’s almost uncanny at times. That fact alone should have younger fans eating Evisceration Plague up from the first listen. The CD starts off with “Priests of Sodom,” which doesn’t mess around with a slow, ominous buildup. Instead, the track explodes with high-speed rhythm work, pounding drums, and a bellowing growl from George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher. There are several tempo changes throughout, and in terms of songs successfully introducing an album, it accomplishes its mission tenfold.

Evisceration Plague definitely revolves around the manic rhythm driving many of Cannibal Corpse’s songs, but there is also plenty of intriguing lead work to back that aspect up. “Beheading and Burning” includes some unique-sounding pinch harmonics, “Skewered From Ear To Eye” is taken to the next level because of a fantastic grooving lead line, and “Evidence in the Furnace” features a fascinatingly wacky solo.

The main attraction in terms of both rhythmic and lead work is actually not even the title track. If you want to hear a modern day “Flight of the Bumblebee,” check out the amazing guitar work on “Carnivorous Swarm.” As the title indicates, it almost sounds like there is a huge swarm of, well, something evil chasing after you. Along with guitars, the percussion is also adding to the ambience, and in the final moments it seems the drums are recreating the sound of flapping wings. It may be total coincidence in that section, but it’s still a very cool effect. “Carnivorous Swarm,” like pretty much every other track on the album, is an exhausting listen, but any Cannibal Corpse fan should be up for the challenge. // 9

Lyrics and Singing: Cannibal Corpse is one of those bands that are always the target of some parents’ group that is deeply offended by lyrical content. What those parents hear on Evisceration Plague shouldn’t ease their worries, of course. With titles like “To Decompose,” “Shatter Their Bones,” and “Beheading and Burning,” you probably get a general idea of what to expect. Probably the best statement about Evisceration Plague comes from bassist Alex Webster, who said, “Once again, there's no real message to any of the lyrics. It's all strictly dark fantasy violent entertainment. It's not anything with a social message at all as usual. We've rarely had anything with any sort of social message to it." So for those looking for something deep and life-altering, look elsewhere. // 8

Impression: In terms of brutal death metal, Cannibal Corpse continues to set the bar high. There is equal attention paid to both the rhythmic and lead aspects on Evisceration Plague, and while a few of the songs do sound similar, there are enough interesting musical sections along the way to hold your interest. As you might expect, this is not album for the sensitive (lyrically or musically), so be prepared for a sensory-shattering experience. // 9

Great Album,Great Band.

[vanshaya]

Great album, really like the title track. Another thing I liked about it that Corpsegrinder's vocals are much clearer in this album, and the production and the tone are awesome.

[rebeltildeth87]

agreed

[korinaflyingv]

Cool album. Sounds like Kill but better.

[\m/Gaz]

I need this album asap

[Ikonoklast]

Hahaha, i remember when i was about 12, and my mum told me off cause she found the cd with 'Entrails Ripped From a Virgin's Cúnt' on the back. Happy days, will be checking this out.

[DeathzMetal666]

erik rutan is an awesome producer hehe (:
btw awesome album

[dan ramP]

hah, my mum got mad at me for just saying the name cannibal corpse to her, she'd probably have a heart attack if she saw any songtitles or lyrics.

[AvernusAblaze]

funnt, one of the biggest names in Death and i havent listened to them. need to check out this bad boy

[SpreadTheSin]

Hell yeah, I'm seeming them live in April.

[BlisteringDDj]

Dissapointing cover art. Just as KILL. Haven't listened to the album yet, but I will definitely buy it.

[AmpleSteak]

Any sweet bass solos on this album?

[Warheart1188]

I haven't been interested in anything CC since Barnes left. Some of the album with Fisher were good, but not too many. They aren't what they used to be...

[Poglia]

Don't flame me, but I hate Cannibal Corpse and brutal "splatter" metal in general. Why can't they write normal lyrics? They are disgusting, I see no fun in their lyrics.

The brutal lyrics fits the brutal music =) and if you don't like the lyrics that's your problem.

[SolidState85]

yeah this album kicks ass. I heard in a podcast of alex webster that eric rutan did a solo for the album towards the end of the song "unnatural"

Can't flame a flamer...

Cannibal Corpse = Legendary Icons

Can't wait to see them at the Rockstar Festival...

[TopicOfTheDay]

I've been waiting a while for this one

[Raven_Flight]

I think they could write "normal lyrics" if they wanted to, but this is their business man.
It's a style hard to get used to, but once you do, you love it.
And the lyrics aren't fun because they are not suposed to!

It's all about opinion, remember they didn't write this song for you. They wrote it for their fans and themselves.

[lethaldosage45]

yeah its DEATH metal. Get it?

[AfoHot]

This album really kick some *ss. Will see them live the 7th of February, o yeah, that's on Saturday SYMA Hall, Budapest.

Anybody else from here going?

[sexualbreakfast]

The singer plays wow on my server, which is awesome. no one would think a badass band like this would have members that play wow.

Checked.

Is it just me that always found CC lyrics fun, then?

[destöroyah]

the harmonic vocals on priests of sodom sound great, and i reckon this album have a far more "brutal death metal" sound as opposed to the "not quite tech, brutal, slam or melo death metal" that kill was (not saying kill an absolutely killer album

[AA00P]

The lyrics are freakin' catchy.

[Poglia]

Even Blind Guardian guitarists play WoW.

However, I know, opinions are opinions, I just don't like death metal. If you like it, feel free to listen to it there is nothing wrong.

[Gregray88]

Album really surprised me, it is great, Priests of Sodom is such a good song.

[messenjah]

some of those songs are unbelievably epic
i mean some of the vocals on To Decompose is to ridiculously hard to enunciate properly at that speed and yet corpsegrinder does it and does it well
also i ALWAYS get caught out by the pinch harmonics on the "chorus" to Beheading And Burning, they are IMPOSSIBLE to follow and thats what i love, the chaotic unpredictability of it

[boyan89]

I bought it today during lunch at school and i am looking forward to it, Evisceration Plague was a good song.

I agree BUT luckily for me I can't understand a bloody word!

Checked with a knife.

[Cafas]

Who cares about the lyrics? This is death metal. I don't particularly find CC that interesting, but I wouldn't bitch about Origin's lyrics or something. Listen to pop hip hop if lyrics are so important to you.

[Thedarkchild]

@Cafas:
Lyrics are important no matter what kind of music you listen to (for some people)...saying "listen to pop bla bla" is stupid...not everyone listening to pop also cares about the lyrics...your statement is total senseless...

[DimebagRob]

^Haha good one Duncang.

Anyways I'm really starting to get into CC, I love Corpsegrinder, he's better than the old guy they had. I may buy this...

[joe van g]

CannibalCorpse is one of the best

[Lion_Slicer]

Death metal doesn't need to be lyrical senselessness. For example: Death (after they started embracing their technical/progressive tendencies over their gore-soaked origins); In Flames (particularly on Colony); Amon Amarth (arguable, but at least they tell a story, its got a ring of epic poetry); Nile (influenced heavily by HP Lovecraft). I could go on. I find ~90% of radio music's lyrics to be utter drivel, even in comparison to CC. I'll take "Beheading and Burning" over "gettin low in da club" any day.

Just 'cus they write songs about mutilating women instead of writing predictable songs about charming them, you decide to hate them? You are bigoted SCUM.

Awesome band, no doubt one of the best extreme metal acts of our time.

[skalathrax]

I think is gonna be a grower album for me, where the more I listen to it, the better it gets. First listen through and the only thing I was really impressed by was George's high screams. Really, really good.

[_person_]

hilarious band.

I mean SERIOUS lyrics, like:

- Life
- Death (it's serious, but not if you say "I'm gonna kill you and blow your brain onto the wall!")
- Feelings
- Religion
- Loneliness
- Love

And so on... of course I like funny songs too but I simply don't like death metal. It makes no sense for me, I like MELODIC music and CLEAN voice. Not random brutal riffs without melody and just "GROOOOOWL IM GONNA EAT UR BRAINK GROAAAAARRR!".

1) what are you doing posting on the Cannibal Corpse review if you have no interest in it?
2) it's not "random brutal riffs" by any means. I hate it when people trash music they don't understand. the creative effort and technical proficiency that goes into this music is probably too much for some people to comprehend. oh well...

Gotta check this out, it sounds really good, but I was kind of disappointed with the title track that they put up on their site a while back. oh well, I'm sure it will still be great!

[Sylvanus]

I'm going to have to check this out, I'm sure it'll be good stuff.

To those who argue against the lyrics, I'm pretty sure that's not the main focus of their music. Personally, I'd take their lyrics over some generic song about love because it's something different and shows creativty.

[xxxFMDxxx]

Great album. I heard it on their myspace last week. Definitley need to buy it tho!

[KeepOnRotting]

Nah, I think they're pretty funny. It's the ones that take it seriously that are missing out.

[Shread_6009]

in case anyone doesn know, cannibal corpse is a band that writes music about different murders by flesh-eating zombie`s ( or ``cannibal corpse`s``)

what do you really want them to sing about?

[McMetal]

HELL YEAH! CC IS THE BEST

[boyan89]

Stop bitching about the lyrics they are great for the style of death metal they do, they are interesting and if you don't like it don't listen to it that simple, oh and learn more about Death Metal before you comment and say they are just singing about Gore, IM GOING TO RIP YOUR HEAD OFF! Great album by the way.

[plague_runner]

Amazing work from the death metal masters.....Corpse grinders vocals sound a little different but wicked cool.

[DyingToFish]

love this album. kicks the ass of any death metal release so far... but its only february so we'll see if that keeps up! CANNIBAL CORPSE!!!!!\m/

[PoP N FresH]

tasty album once again, solid as **** with hints of brillaince in the brutality. love carnivorous swarm.

[soraisthekey]

Bought the album today. It's good stuff. The DVD it came with is worth the price of admission. I have a lot of respect for the dudes in Cannibal Corpse and it's cool to see how they go about doing things.

[Set-Abominae]

This album is sick (in a very, very good way)! I think I've listened to it ten times over by now. My favorite track is easily Priests of Sodom. Seeing them in Edmonton in April, I cannot WAIT.

[Scout1011]

The gory lulz continue with this album (along with actual decent death metal)

[RUSTDOGG666]

these guys are gods. everything they do ****ing rules. long live cannibal corpse and they're amazing metal music. hell yeah.

[markdirt]

I cannot imagine a more boring or unoriginal band. Cannibal Corpse is the Kenny G of gorecore.

[GoldSoundzUKNZ]

sorry but I just don't get how this is considered music. it's just roaring disgusting lyrics over chugging guitars. i get Nile and Opeth, at least they're tuneful, but I don't get how anyone can just put a Cannibal Corpse CD on and listen to it, or even take it seriously.
Saying that, their cover art is always interesting, if only to see how grotesque they make it each time...this one is disappointing, almost like Dance of Death

[pitbull510]

lol, you think playing slow is messing around? That it should just be used as a buildup? Its not ALL about playing fast, as much as blast beats are awesome.

[the-hynes]

I like CC just on the fact that their lyrics are hilarious.
Music is ment to be fun

not really. more like a truth-teller. do you lot really enjoy "classics" such as "skull full of maggots", "Rotting head", "I Cum Blood" and many other highly disturbing titles.
If music says something about a person, this sort of music says something very worrying.

Yes I do enjoy them. See, the trick is to understand the band before slamming them. They intend for their songs to be like gore fest horror movies, only in song form. Aka they are portraying a fictional theme in their music. If they took their lyrical content seriously, then wouldn't you think they would be in a mental institution or jail?

[brutalkid]

run at me anyone who came on here and said **** cannibal corpse
i will kill you... is a good song
hahaah

2) Death Metal is VERY technical and difficult to play, I know, but the riffs are random and without any criteria. EVERYONE can just fill Guitar Pro with random notes and the result will be a typical Death Metal riff. And growl? I simply hate it... singers who use growl use it because they can't sing clean.

This.

Oh, and I have NEVER seen a Death Metal fan older than 18-20. All of you guys were born in 1994-1992-1991 and so on, I have checked all profiles. Two weeks ago I have seen Edguy live (this is real, MATURE music for me) and all were older than me (I'm 21). All 30 or 40 years old.

A tiny thing..
Growling is not singing..
It never was and never will be..
It is NOT a substitution for singing either.
Death Metal vocalists are called vocalists not singers for a reason..

[metalheadrenzo]

*sigh* flamers... oh well....

Cannibal Corpse \m/.

Please folks, I'm only handing out warnings for REALLY brainless flaming, but to people calling CC 'gorecore', or indeed Edguy 'real, MATURE music', you're tempting fate.

No, really, what the hell do you expect? You can't just throw out a garbage statement like that without taking the demographic of UG in mind. That the majority of DM fans is 18-20 or somesuch is hardly surprising, given that most users on here probably are around that age. I'm sure most of the jazz fans on this site are 18-20 too.

Go into the real world and you'll find plenty of death metal fans who were kids when the genre started 20-or-so years ago.

There are always exceptions, and I was talking about real life, not UG. At least here, all Death Metal fans are 14 year old kids that think "omg itz fukin evil i luv it!!!!". You are free to listen to Death Metal, Jazz, Pop, Rap, House, etc if you want, even if you are 50 years old. I don't care.

But I simply consider NOT mature a band based on fast riffs that says "GROAAARR ZOMBIES WILL RAPE UUUU".

Well, they have funny songs (Lavatory Love Machine, Pride Of Creation, ...) but also deep and mature lyrics. Read the lyrics of Theater Of Salvation, The Piper Never Dies, Land Of The Miracle, The Asylum, Sacrifice...

[Ibanezmansam]

Oh god haha, Edguy as mature? There essentially a decent hairmetal band... Not going to lie I love them but there the furthest thing from "deep"

Just bought the album and can't wait to get it...

CC FTW! anyone seeing them at Mayhem?

[thrashnmosh782]

lol i think hair metal is soooo gay XD

and this album freaking kills. i got it before it came out XD and its so awesome CC FTW

Hair metal? Omg... they were power/symphonic metal and now more hard rock, but I see no hair metal songs!

[BucketHayden]

i cant say i like CC, but i find them intriguing, there lyrics are as disgusting as they are hilarious and there fan base are loyal and surprisingly articulate. I also heard that several members of CC play WoW which is funny. Even though i dislike the music, I hope they keep making there music and that they stay ****in brutal, CC FTW

[Ibanezmansam]

Hair metal? Omg... they were power/symphonic metal and now more hard rock, but I see no hair metal songs!

Well yes and no. I love their music, but from listening to other bands like Dio and Skidrow... they MUST have hair-metal influences. Like painting on a wall... thats very "Hairmetal like" and the guitar playing and singing (while very good) is kind of cheesy... a major characteristic of Hair-Metal :P

Anyway got the album today and highly recommend it... it is brutality personified and the DVD it came with wasn't half bad

[Noremak]

i love how everytime they go into the studio they dont even have to put effort in thier songwriting. its just "we're gunna make this album more brutal than the last" and the outcome is great

[CradleOfJames]

Mine hasn't come in the mail yet :'(
Cannibal Corpse are my favourite band, their lyrics make me laugh. "Your dead child I defile Necropedophile" Thats so awesome!
I wish I could see them, but they are banned in Australia :'(

[Paramecium302]

just got it, ****in sic

[Drezzdez]

Flamers must die, CC are the greatest DEATH METAL band in history in my mind. Hope they continue the brutalness

[tetsuma]

This album is pathetic, out of all the years i've listened to cannibal corpse - this is the only time I've ever felt disappointed/even crestfallen.

Sounds like kill tone-wise, but then it's composition could be summed up by, "needs more blastbeats, forget fills just follow up one riff with another seemlessly. Oh and corpsegrinder, try and keep your vocals in time with the double kick, kgo".

Every song stood out on kill, it was great. Wouldn't be stretching it to say this is the anti-thesis of kill, sigh.

[Emoif]

i saw them live last night at the ABC in Glasgow, Scotland, and they were ****ing brilliant!!!!

[fr33t0m]

Great ****ing album

[hotrats57]

One of corpses best albums to date, amazing tone, killer riffs, and some of the clearest, yet brutal growling i've heard. 'To Decompose' is one of my favourite death metal songs ever. Saw them live a week ago in manchester, kicked arse. should of headlined though, don't know what they were doing SUPPORTING bodom.

i think you are a very judgemental person, and you also come across as quite a snob, for not liking a band because of its lyrics aren't "intellectual and deep enough". i am not saying that its bad to have standards, but you should try and be more open to music, instead of just banishing an entire genre because the lyrics are gory.

hey, if anyone has it can someone post a tab for evisceration plague (thesong)...im havin a hard time fiquring it out

[george1224]

AWESOME ALBUM!!!!!
GR8 BAND!!

[Unispex]

The nw album is BAD ASS!! Amazing production, they picked a great producer. Key tracks here IMO are A Cauldron of Hate, Carnivorous Swarm, title track, Shatter Their Bones, and Priests of Sodom. all of them are killer though, this is actually the album that got me into this band.

I happen to find it very fun. When I have a good day, I listen to Modest Mouse. But there are just those days when I want to rip someone's head off. And for those days, I release myself with Cannibal Corpse, The Acacia Strain, etc.

I like this album, but i just don't think it's as good as "Kill" was. I think this one kinda gets old after a while. Oh well, I just got the re-release of "The Bleeding," so I'll be listening to that instead. Keep it brutal CC!!

Cannibal Corpse is one of those bands that are always the target of some parents’ group that is deeply offended by lyrical content. What those parents hear on Evisceration Plague shouldn’t ease their worries, of course.

Hahaha, i remember when i was about 12, and my mum told me off cause she found the cd with 'Entrails Ripped From a Virgin's Cúnt' on the back. Happy days, will be checking this out.

LOL mum's dont like death metal. my brother got abused for having the song "**** your god" by deicide :haha my mum insisted it got deleted. i dont know why she doesnt like death metal, i mean, she show's traces of satan himself.

Don't flame me, but I hate Cannibal Corpse and brutal "splatter" metal in general. Why can't they write normal lyrics? They are disgusting, I see no fun in their lyrics.

Im sooo happy with this album. Alot better than Kill, which i found disappointing.. Compared to the wretched spawn anyway. This album has a similar sound to kill, but 50x better. Corpsegrinders vocals are sounding mad.
Now all i need is for CC to remake the first 4 albums with George.

"Normal lyrics"? I laugh at this term
You mean crying about being dumped by your gf or singing about clubbing?
