Are we in 1980 in the UK? For those of you who aren’t familiar with KERRIGAN, the German band is composed by Bruno Schotten (guitars, bass) and Jonas Weber (vocals, guitars) plus Jonathan Döring as session drummer on this first LP. Bruno and Jonas play together in LONE WANDERER – a Funeral Doom Metal band […]
CANNIBAL CORPSE belong to the small circle of bands that have not released a really bad album in their career so far. Of course, the Americans have not exclusively created masterpieces, but a merely average work of the cannibals is still first-class measured against the bulk of the competition. Especially since 2014, since the release […]
Anyone reading these reviews, or being a Metalhead in general, knows who CANNIBAL CORPSE is, they are almost a household name by now. I will admit to a bit of irritation at seeing their shirts at Spencers or Hot Topic (don’t ask me how I know, haha), but at 16 albums you have to kind […]
“Chaos Horrific” is the 16th studio album by CANNIBAL CORPSE, always on Metal Blade Records, and came after “Violence Unimagined”, which was released just two years ago (in 2021). This can sound like a warning, but again CANNIBAL CORPSE put out another valuable album with so many highlights. Riffing, drumming and growling are fresh and […]
I always thought that CANNIBAL CORPSE was just guts, blood and gore, with a shocking value and just brutal Death Metal to go along. And that they are probably the most famous band in the genre because they appeared in that Ace Ventura movie… and, let me tell you, that I am horribly wrong. I […]
CANNIBAL CORPSE releases its brand-new album “Chaos Horrific” on the 31st anniversary of the release of “Tomb Of The Mutilated”. This is the band’s 16th album and the second to feature guitarist Erik Rutan (HATE ETERNAL, ex – MORBID ANGEL), who joined in 2020 to replace Pat O’Brien. Although they have had several changes in […]
‘Overlords Of Violence’ is the name of the opener and that is a pretty fitting description for what CANNIBAL CORPSE have been standing for since their debut 33 years ago. While a band like INCANTATION, active for a similar length of time, years ago only played live in front of few listeners, CANNIBAL CORPSE were […]
Not too long ago I was in the mood for a full dose of CANNIBAL CORPSE, so I checked out their entire back catalogue again (in chronological order), starting with “Eaten Back To Life”. I hadn’t listened to the band for quite a while at that point of time and in my memory I always […]
Evil tongues could nastily claim, bands in which Martin van Drunen is involved in as a screaming singer always will sound like ASPHYX and early PESTILENCE. Well, there is probably a grain of truth in this claim: the man with the unmistakable voice simply growls and screams the way he does. So he does on […]
Another old school gem gets some love in form of a re-release via High Roller Records. I speak about the second release of US Death / Thrash commando INCUBUS, who had to rename the band to OPPROBRIUM due to legal issues in the mid ’90s. “Beyond The Unknown” was released back in 1990 via Nuclear […]
