CANNIBAL CORPSE Red Before Black Album Review | Overkill Reviews 

Who cares what a woman's opinion on death metal is jesus

Because it’s isn’t technical playing in 6/8 in math rock song is technical these are simple rhythms

@@tylersmith9868 i hope this is sarcastic

*plays frantic disembowelment + everything after vile to this day*

Thank you for saying what I was going to. I'd like to see her play any of their songs on guitar.

It‘s true in todays standards.

misterpink95 its not ok to not like black metal

How about it's ok to like metal?

Or shitty, like tool.

I like how few people got the OP's reference.

it's not okay to not like Black Metal

Frantic disembowlment anyone! Idk if i spelled that right but fuck it.

I know right? They’re about as technical as it gets without being tech death

Sure it's not Spawn Of Possession... but it's still way more technical than a lot of DM bands (Obituary or Entombed for example). For me Cannibal Corpse are like the most technical you can get before being considered Technical Death Metal (for me stuff like Suffocation is technical enough to be considered TDM)

Herman de Villiers I had the same reaction, trust me. CC are masters at creating very technical structures, riffs that caliber are not easy to play.

you obviously didn't listen to what she had to say 2 seconds after she said that lmao

She should have said "Not a lot of technicality going on...compared to Animals as Leaders".

When I heard that I had the same reaction... As a drummer I have to say that playing cannibal corpse is a pain in the ass. No one has the energy to play the kind of blast beats of Paul holding the sticks like they're fucking hammers. A ghost note of Paul sounds like every other drummers rim shot.

"Based out of" and "From" are not the same thing.

BoostandaHalf I rem.w corpse was the opener to every metal show in buff untill butchered n then well history but I rem.a show in which they were taping for video for mtv??wierd .hammer smashed face I think.corpse is a pioneer of death n changed for know one.much respect.

Exactly! They consider themselves a Buffalo based band if you ask them...

sarah had me pausing this video a lot and i was like whoa whoa whoa whoa disagree disagree but nonetheless this is still a decent review and i'm glad i watched it. either way we all love cannibal corpse and red before black is a really good album.

Dude.... most difficult cannibal riff ever cause Pat O’ brien is one of the best guitarist

Not from this album though.

Voivod

A close to a world below is quite a bit different from dawn of possession

They were from tampa then ny

They may live in Tampa, but I always say they are from Buffalo.

All of their early stuff was recorded and produced in Florida. So while they started in Buffalo, the music really came from Tampa Bay.

rampface85 I agree, this new album is great. Sarah is HUGE into power metal, which I can't stand. So her thinking Cannibal is simple doesn't surprise me.

rampface85 It's great when death metal in general, doesn't take itself too seriously. It's fucking fun music to listen to and the more tongue in cheek the better.

Not technical? who would say that. It is a hard nailer, to follow Pat 'o Brien and his insane tempo/diminished style riffs. I promise you, that CC is nothing near a easy technical piece of a guitarplayers day. The thing with CC, is that they have a more limited drumspace, when it comes to patterns. But the guitars/bass is of another world at times. Alex Webster/o'brien are insane players. And they show it. Ask any tech death band out there about that, if you think otherwise.

rampface85 Not technical? Two words...Frantic Disembowelment. They aren't considered "Tech Death"...BUT I don't see any "beginners" taking on much of Cannibals discography...if any at all. Maybe "The bleeding"? Or "Scourge of Iron"? But even those songs are pretty hard for a beginner to take on. I'd say a good GATEWAY death metal band that most people could probably play is "Death". Chuck wrote memorable, catchy riffs. It wasn't about how technical he could be, because he showed us what kind of player he can be with all of his solos...other than that, it's alot of his signature pedal tones and rhythm based riffs. I'm not saying that the occasional beginner that picks guitar up quickly can't play alot of Cannibal songs...but you'd be hard pressed to find many of them out there that can do it. I honestly just don't get why this chick mentions over and over and over again as "simple"...they aren't simple by any means, and people that think death metal HAS to be technical is annoying to say the least. You want technical death metal, listen to Necrophagist...I promise you it gets old quick. I'd rather listen to catchy riffs over and over again than a million notes a minute over and over again...and cannibal knows that, that's why they spread out their technical ability and catchy songwriting. They want to make music that LASTS, and that's the point.

Riffin' Remmy I think when they say 'not technical' it's not so much 'not difficult to play' (It is) it's more it's not really twiddly riffs and wanking. It's just straight up riffage.

The worst CC records since my personal favorite TWS...

Ladislav Rusnák come on lol you need to listen to this album again.

I loved Wretched Spawn as well. Great riffing and songs on that one.

Another Wretched Spawn lover here. When I listen to Cannibal Corpse it is usually one of these 3 albums, Wretched Spawn, Torture and Tomb Of The Mutilated. Used to be Wretched, Kill and Tomb but Tortured replaced Kill in my Top 3 cannibal corpse albums. Tomb Of The Mutilated is a classic of brutality and ticks all the boxes I love about oldschool Thrashy death metal from sound to riffs, Torture has the windy spot currently (who knows, maybe Red Before Black replaces it. I have not listened it properly yet) but Wretched Spawn stays as my number one favourite Cannibal Corpse album ever.

Tomb of the mutilated is their best

Ian Coates on a meth bender

or a young Ronnie wood.

calvometal Totally agree man! Best thing is how she introduced those insanely technical guitar solos as if she was making fun of it. It was disgusting to watch.

As someone who generally doesn't listen to that much metal nowadays, I find Cannibal Corpse to be "fun". As in I'm just really having a good time listening to their stuff. Is it technical? In parts yes, but mostly its fairly simple, heavy as fuck metal with no bullshit and that's what I love about it. The lyrical content is over the top, riding the fine line between cheesy and genuinely interesting. I listen to metal when I want to have fun and CC is just that. Fun as fuck.

Great point. Thank you.

I agree that recommendations for some less known bands the reviewer has been spinning after every review would be awesome.

megaman exe dogging the username! Despite the name. I go by OmegaManX

Six Feet Under are a great band.

Cry more

That song isn't on this album.

I enjoyed it :)

It's all good. To be fair ya'll put in a lot more work filming, editing, etc. into your reviews than my short text ones. Just some constructive criticism.

I dig the review fo sho.

Brad Młodystach It means awkward. And yes it’s overused

Of course it was informative, look how she describes he's neck, like a thumb!

disagree

i also like six feet under and i think they don't deserve as much hate as they get.granted, they can't do covers to save their lives i'll admit that graveyard classics suck and should be discontinued but six feet under's original songs are usually damn good and yes i know chris barnes' voice has gone to shit recently but give him a break. he's still a good writer of lyrics i enjoyed torment in spite of all the hate it got. overall six feet under is good in my opinion. not perfect but no band is perfect. every band has filler tracks and forgettable material. it's impossible to be 100% all the time in music. just think of six feet under like black licorice; most people think it's gross but the few that can stomach it are awesome and understand the value of an acquired taste. every now and then i like to listen to sfu and every now and then i think maybe i'll eat some black licorice cause don't care if everybody hates it but me. i'm still gonna enjoy what i want and hopefully others will too.

david girard exactly. For me after Terry Butler left it's been kind of rough. People forget that guy played in Massacre a legend in the Death metal world. Where Chris shines is with solid groovy riffs. For example his 13 album just rips. Also when he sang for the band Torture killer? That was amazing! But at the moment his music is kind of forgettable and I wish he didn't bark his vocals so much. But the constant hate this band gets just makes me stand up for them even more because there is much worse out there.

well said, max. keep enjoying the black licorice of death metal aka six feet under. there are definitely worse bands out there and there are also worse candies than black licorice so yeah defend the all underrated things

Their last 12 albums have been pretty weak.

I've honestly never heard anyone say anything good about SFU. Their ACDC cover in particular made all of death metal look stupid.

Hey me too!

Haunted and Warpath are good tho, but yes they are totally crap for the past 10 years

I like a few albums but generally speaking they're a bit lousy

I think the first two records with Allen West on guitars are great, but everything they put out in the 2000's is completely forgettable and at times fucking awful (Bringer of Blood, all Graveyard Classics albums). Undead and especially Unborn are pretty badass though.

she said they're technical compared to the barnes era cannibal corpse.

Lonewolf Nazgul Suffocation are from Centereach, Cannibal are from Buffalo, both of which being in the state of New York. The reviewer also said “Tampa based”, not “Tampa born” when referring to Cannibal. Don’t be a dick.

Cannibal moved to Tampa

Haunted and Warpath are badass! But after Allen West left, they went downhill

Jeezy Frankie right m8

Haunted and Maximum Violence are fucking killer , fuck the HATERZ!

Thor Wolf yeah, songs like Human Target live are fucking killer. The album Crypt of the devil (i think it's called like that) is not that bad after all

I love SFU: Haunted, warpath and UNBORN are fantastic albums....

William Haward The Graveyard Classics albums are laughable (that does make them enjoyable for humor..) but their original work can be awesome. Generally mid to low tempo but groovey. Though on their last album they got members of Brain Drill so a few songs absolutly rip! Check out the second album from SFU tribute band Torture Killer: Swarm. Chris does vocals on it... its sick.

Swarm is one of my favorite modern death metal albums, the whole albums is like a "try not to headbang" challenge xD

The Highest Order please yes

Kelly Graves spoiler alert, shit is fucking amazing!

;)

I doubt it! They've skipped a ton of great albums this year, and Converge doesn't seem "Metal" enough for them. I mean, they often trash metalcore, and/or seem completely unphased by it's existence.

Travis Tucker But Converge isn’t metalcore.
