Cannibal Corpse, The Bleeding

Cannibal corpse with this and other released did for death metal what J.Hendrix did for guitar playing . So many distinct riffs and drumming that other bands could build at least 3 records on the material. Loads of guts, gore and fire. It is ultimate 'easy listening ' for every fan of hard death metal playing.

Following on from Tomb of the Mutilated, The Bleeding sticks to its guns with enough gore and grinding riffs to appease any metal head. Nothing ground breaking but if you love it fast enough to bludgeon your skull then Cannibal Corpse is for you

The Bleeding album is solid from start. Its riffs are golden and Cris Barnes' lyrics are one of a kind. In short, Cannibal is sick and this album epitomizes it.

After the classic "Tomb of the mutilated" Cannibal Corpse treated us to the mighty "The Bleeding". Sounding a little different from their earlier work and certainly not as generic as they have since become, "The Bleeding" is one of the best death metal albums you are likely to hear. Barnes's vocal style also changed for this album, being pretty clear and understandable and at the same time guttural. A great example of death metal vocals that's for sure. Every song is a winner in my book from the opener "Staring through the eyes of the dead" to live favourites like "Stripped, raped and strangled" and then the awesome title track. What's not to like? This album is not your usual run-of-the-mill CC and I wish they had progressed on this rather than downtuning their guitars and churning out rubbish like "Gallery of suicide". Great stuff!
