Not saying that it would be your thing or even recommending it but just putting it out there for anyone interested in a good extreme metal album that doesn't suffer the same issue and actually has memorable songs. Some of it does get too same but Carcass`s Symphonies of Sickness for example is far nastier and have than Cannibal Corpse yet the songs are more memorable and it's catchy with plenty of hooks. Oh lol well I would say there's plenty of bands heavier and more brutal than Cannibal Corpse who have a more diverse selection of songs though. My point was more to express where my upper limit of heaviness sits (again, somewhere around Amon Amarth), while hopefully telling an amusing story of one of the ways I've found that upper limit. Just one that somehow got more mainstream recognition than others. I can't even really say they're overrated because most metal heads know they aren't a very good band in the first place. I find more melodic styles of death metal to be more interesting.īesides the fact that Cannibal Corpse is neither brutal death metal or slam they aren't even a good death metal band period. Give me some Amon Amarth or Scar Symmetry instead.

It almost felt like I was listening to one ridiculously long cacophony. I turn it off about four, five songs in because not only did the songs all blur together incomprehensibly, I could barely tell when one song ended and the next began. I literally couldn't tell one song from the next. I was trying to give it a legitimate shot and see if the reason I never could get into them was because I never listed deeply enough. I think it was Tomb of the Mutilated, but I don't think it really matters.), put on some headphones, shut off everything else, hit play and closed my eyes. I picked an album (I don't remember which. The last time I tried to listen to Cannibal Corpse, I decided to do a bit of an experiment.
