Cannibal Corpse - Chaos Horrific

[KingHostile]

Line up for the tour in the US is brilliant.

Must check out the new HE album, or the last one. I dropped off some years ago.

Rutan is all over this..... but yeah I'll buy this.

The last Hate Eternal album was great and now that Johnny Longstreth has joined I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Didn't realise Longstreth had joined them. Deadly.

[Circlepit]

Kill is last one that I really liked.
The rest since have their moments but I could take them or leave them.
I only bought one Hate Eternal album; Fury and Flames. It's a bit of a mess when it comes to the mix. I gave up on it after a few spins despite wanting to like it.

First three only ,the bleeding is not that great .

Don't know how anyone would fork out for the shite they peddle these days

[Paul keohane]

The Bleeding not great??,crack pip Monday!!

The Bleeding is their best album as far as I'm concerned. Every song is catchy as hell, has its own identity and while being brutal also give off a real aura of twisted evil and darkness. Superb album. I think the production is great too. You can hear everything clearly but it's warm and musty sounding as opposed to the more punchy and clear (and ultimately soulless) sound they developed later.

It is astonishing that they were capable of writing such good songs back then, especially on that album. Not only is the stuff soulless now, it's completely forgettable. How can the craft of putting the material together just desert a band.

Look at Metallica. Same thing. A mass lobotomy occurred sometime in the past twenty five years or so.

The Bleeding is my top pick as well. First 4 all had something slightly different going on for them. I enjoy all 90's Corpse.

They lost all their catchiness and songwriting chops when Jack Owen left.

Webster and Barret made huge contributions to that album. Arguably Webster made the most, he's credited on all but one of the tracks on it. A triviality maybe but reinforces the point that 2/3 of the songwriters for that record are still in the band.

Have The Bleeding on now,a masterpiece!

The Bleeding, best track: 'an experiment in homicide' (not referenced much but awesome)

although I also like the album 'Gallery of Suicide' (and prefer the censored cover over the OG cover for some reason)

Question about covers, why was the cover for 'The Bleeding' changed? I don't recall it being awful or controversial. Nowadays , most of the time, all you can find is this crappy reboot version.

There have been so many terrible versions of that cover! The original was the full painting, then the most popular Barnes-era pressing had the close up of the bloody flesh, then Barnes "was fired/quit" and took the logo rights with him, so all stuff since then and reissues have the lame capitalised logo instead, and some have the original full painting again, some don't depending on the release.
I like how they still use Vince Locke though, great that the art is consistent at least
