Disco de Cannibal Corpse: “The Wretched Spawn/Worm Infested”

The Wretched Spawn is an amazing album, i find myself constantly playing "Frantic Disembowelment," "Decency Defied," "The wretched spawn," and i could list all the other songs, Beleive me when i say ur getting your moneys worth. The bonus dvd is most excellent, your getting a behind the scenes look at each of the 5 band members and interviews, the gear they use, you even get to see Pat O'brien recording "Frantic Disembowelment" and i was suprised to see just how fast the song actually was when Pat started playing it. One thing people have been saying about this band is that its just noise, well its more then that, if you take the time to listen to the guitar and the drums and the amazing bassist, you would appreciate this band for what it really is.

Along with the cd and bonus dvd u get "Worm infested" another excellent cd. I would like to add that there are alot of people telling others not to diss CC when they havent even listened to there albums or even listen to death metal, and i agree whole heartedly, if you dont like metal then DONT review albums just to say how much they suck. Thats just stupid and that person is just trying to get more reviews under there belt.

This album is in a class of its own within the death metal genre. It is quite difficult to find material this good, and even harder to find it recorded so masterfully. The production on this album is superb--very clear and punchy. However, if you're one of the folks into the "underground" metal sound, Cannibal Corpse probably won't wow you with this album...it simply sounds too good. By that , I mean that you can actually dicern what each musician is doing rather than listening to a wash of extraneous noise.

The song-writing of the band is better this time around, but not consistently so. There are some absolutely blistering tracks to be heard (Frantic Disembowelment, Blunt Force Castration, and Bent Backwards and Broken) on the album. But, there are also some that seem to have just been filler. Not bad songs mind you, but just not as interesting or thought-out as the best ones. Even so, this is by far my favorite death metal album. I can actually listen to this CD in its entirety and not get annoyed with the sound or bored with the blast beats. There are a very few death metal albums that I could say the same about.

The hardest of the hardcore death fans will probably deride this album as "too commercial," but they represent the types of fans that every genre inevetably produces: snobs and zealots.

Oh, and if you like the bands studio material, you are in for a serious treat if you get a chance to see them live! Go check em' out...they're touring the US this November!

This is not a review. I already reviewed this album(it sucks and thier early sh*t is better) but I just had to let cotton hell know that bands such as Atreyu and Killswitch are the bands who ripped off exteme metal acts such as slayer and stole the classic gothenburg metal sound of early in flames and at the gates to "pop" it up for 14 year old suberban skater f**ks that try to be metal. Cannibal corpse was around way before faggot mallcore acts like Ateyu. And Cannibal Corpse has twice the skill and and expieriance. To call it noise is just ignorant, for you must know nothing about death metal or any form of extreme metal to make a dum ass review like that. Cannibal Corpse was here to make brutal music and thats what they do.
