Cannibal Corpse Album: “Kill”

I might be the first ever girl to review a Cannibal Corpse album here, but I have been a fan of there's for 5 years now..I own all their cd's, must say they are my favourite band.

my Favourite album is KILL..Killer album from the second you put it on..If a girl is telling you how good this band/album is you must go out and buy KILL, if your 2006 cd collection dosen't own this , GET IT NOW!!!!!!!!!

Cannibal Corpse is back and as foul as ever. It's been a couple years since "The Wretched Spawn" but the wait was well worth it. Along with most records these days, "Kill" seems to get better and better the more you listen to it. From the opening track "The Time to Kill is Now" to the closer "Infinite Misery" there is nothing but non-stop speed and death that doesn't dissapoint. You are hard pressed to find a track on this album that isn't just plain nasty. Fast gutiars, earthy bass, machine gun drums and creature like vocals: recipe for mayhem. If you need to add a new death metal album to your collection..."Kill"!!!

I became a fan of Cannibal Corpse by their 2nd album, "Butchered at Birth," and have been following their releases ever since. This latest release finds them still at the top of their game. The bar has not been raised, but who has in recent years? This is an album that is very much a worthy addition to any Death Metal fan's collection. The band's razor sharp precision is in punishing display, with songs that go from one riff to the next, from one tempo change to the other without seemingly breaking a sweat. The loss of longtime guitarist Jack Owen doesn't seem to have had a bad impact on this band at all, as returning guitarist Rob Barrett ably fulfills his role. Compositionally, Jack's absence has meant that bassist extraordinaire Alex Webster is now the composer of almost half of the material, and even drummer Paul Mazurkiewic has a whole song to his credit (does he play guitar as well?).

The main difference between this album and the previous one is in the catchiness factor. While "The Wretched Spawn" featured a lot of simple, catchy riffs and vocal patterns that you easily remembered after just one listen, sprinkled amongst their brutally fast and complex passages, on "Kill" we don't hear a lot of those catchy riffs. The complexity and ferocity have once again taken center stage. I have listened to the album about 4 times, and just now I can start getting a feel for the different parts. Not so on their previous one. This time they have gone all out in their pursuit of aggression and complexity, leaving no doubt that they can still outplay, and out-think (compositionally) a lot of bands out there, while viciously ripping off your face with insane aggression.

In short, while not as instantly "accessible" as other efforts ("Spawn","The Bleeding"), "Kill" stands as another musically accomplished, delicously brutal offering that will surely satisfy fans of the genre, both old and new. Pop it into your player, and prepare yourself to be killed.

Amazing death metal cd.Talented guitarists and the heavy vocals is the best things in this band.Simple album title or cover,but the music is impressive.My 2 favourite songs : Make Them Suffer,Dead Walking Terror.This is 10th Cannibal Corpse album.If want real death metal,with brutal lyrics/vocals,talented guitar & bassplaying,and good drummer,listen this cd...very awesome.
