CANNIBAL CORPSE - VIOLENCE UNIMAGINED / 2021 / METAL BLADE / DEATH METAL
7/10
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
Death metal album ✅
"Meat and potatoes" ✅
Dead flesh and yellow earth apples
Corpsegrinder has the best huge neck in the game
*necks tier list*
@Afonso Santos Corpsegrinder could fūck Corey Taylor up. Watch Corpsegrinder's video where he headbangs to "I Cûm Blood." Nasty!!

Cannibal corpse is one of the most consistent DM bands of all time. Respect.
Yes
For better or worse.
Consistent = releasing the same album 15 times
One of the most consistent bands period.
Them and TBDM
this record fucked so hard. erik rutan as an addition to the band not just a producer was such a good and natural choice. one of their best records since Kill probably
@trvp visuals If your not on a watchlist, you're not doing it right.
@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT I think there's a certain admirability in just being straight to the point. You see an album cover with bigass letters spelling "KILL" and you know what you're in for.
I like that saying
Kill slaps
Rutan is an absolute monster. Uncle Eric is a DM legend himself.
This melon guy knows quite a bit about music. You could even say he's the web's most occupied geek
This "melon guy" doesn't know shit about rock music. If he did, he would acknowledge that bands like Godsmack, Skillet, and Disturbed are keeping the rock scene afloat...
@@cdvideodump Godsmack have literally contributed more to the artistic progression of contemporary rock music than Radiohead, why this melon-headed breast face doesn’t respect them is a travesty.
@@youknowhuwitis Of course they have, because Radiohead isn't even contemporary rock...
One could argue that his fangs are above average within his community.

@@joaquin5929he was joking lol
I'm not even a death metal fan but I'm happy he likes this one, anything positive for the metal genre is a win in my book
@Autistic Dolphin54 Yeah his death metal reviews are usually complete trash, and pretty cringe. But It just goes to show how good this album is that his review is mainly pretty positive.
@Autistic Dolphin54 what do you mean "cringe"? Cringe to what?
@Autistic Dolphin54 I like to listen to metal genres with an emphasis on the guitar riffs and instrumentals, to me death metal seems to have a focus on the bloodcurdling screams, which I do like, but they're paired with uninteresting riffs and instrumentals that turn me away. Not hating on people who like it, it's just not my thing.
@Autistic Dolphin54 Usually the production pushes me away pretty hard, also, I like breakdowns, and there arent alot of breakdowns in death metal. Shoutout to suffocation tho, their breakdowns slap.
@Autistic Dolphin54 I haven't, but I'll be sure to check them out!
Can’t believe they put Phoebe Bridgers on their album cover
@Ivory_ Lagiacrus_YT Jesus Christ that's hilarious. I wonder how MBDTF would feel about this
😂
It made me think of Laura Marling.
Here I thought it was Meryl Streep on her way to collect another Oscar nomination.

Thanks for the spoiler
People say this every year, what
@@wiishopwednesdayrecords2959 why read the comments before watching the video then?
Rutan has been producer for CC albums before, so he knows what he's doing. Definitely loving the re-introduction of the more thrashy sound from their earlier years that's been going on for the last few albums. Rips ya good. 🤟
I don't hate groove, but people conflate groove with core now in metal music. I don't hate chug breakdowns either, if it's not the hook of the band. (Like in bands like Carnifex, I love Carnifex.) But sometimes I just need my old reliable headbanging bands like CC. Brutal death wins for me almost everytime.
Edit: In other words I totally agree dude.
Cannibal Corpse is so amazingly consistent. Every time they drop an album, I know what I'm getting, and I thoroughly enjoy it.
The word you were looking for is 'integrity'.

Ikr this feels like a legit follow up to Torture their best album of corpsegrinder era imo
my dad went to school with the bassist for the band and he showed me their music when i was 12
that must have been an adventure to say the least lol
Very cool
Your dad went to school with Alex Webster? Legend of a man
Disappointed that Cannibal Corpse hasn't covered Dua Lipa yet.
Y'know, had you said something like this, say , 10 years ago, you would've had a ton of people telling you "UH! THEY'D NEVER DO THAT!" with more or less expletives and words. It's very interesting to see that that doesn't happen much anymore. Either metalheads have grown older and don't feel the need to be so defensive about the genre anymore, or they've just melded so much with internet culture that being a metalhead is just one facet of their personality and they've become kind of "cynical", for lack of a better word.
I’d pay decent money to hear Corpsegrinder say ‘sugar-boo.’
@@BigFingerRo Bro, I don't know where you've been on the internet, but there's still PLENTY of vitriol from metal fans for pop music. Both by itself and when it's covered by metal bands. Maybe it doesn't happen in the circles you frequent, but it's certainly still there.
Sounds like something Six Feet Under would do
I seriously did not expect this
RIGHT?!I
@@2jojojojojojo i was pleasantly surprised to see he review Cattle Decap and Dying Fetus and also gave them favorable reviews
He’s a metal head guys hahahah
Yeah he reviews a lot of stuff, metal included
Is this the first Cannibal Corpse album he’s reviewed?
Melon head describing the lyrical context of brutally violent Cannibal Corpse songs as eloquently as he can for this review is the absolute best
The Taylor Swift features sure tied this all up
I’d pay to see that.
It's a solid 85, easy. It's sitting at 86% right now on Metal Archives. It's a great album. And it does sound like a mixture of Hate eternal and Cannibal Corpse. Rutan is an amazing guitarist.
And it's very important to note that the guys just sat and listened to the first CC album together and the result is that amazing thrashy and aggressive vibe we got in the album
I even thought that he wouldn’t even review this one, since he didn’t do the previous album
Dude same haha

Melon be careful with this one. Death metal fans will make u into an album cover.
Maybe an Opeth album cover.

Loll trueeee (coming from a death metal fan)
Fun fact: cannibal corpse is Jim carey's favorite band and he requested they were incorporated in the ace Ventura soundtrack
Makes sense
I know he likes napalm death so makes sense
Not only that they are the band playing during the "new england clam chowder" scene.
Jim Carrey is based.

Since Torture

They haven't had a dull album since Kill.
@@NShomebase
You think Kill is dull? Probably my sencond favorite Corpsegrinder era album.
@@mirrorreaper3545 No I meant from Kill onwards.
Melon going back to his metal roots ⁉️ 😳
"A Skeletal Domain" remains my favorite album so far, "Red Before Black" felt like a regression to me, but I can't say I've ever actually been let down by the bands work. The new one is pretty good.
PLEASE, MORE METAL REVIEWS, PLEASE
This band is more consistent than any given corpse.
Given that any given corpse will quickly decay, you truly are right.
Day 27 of asking Anthony to review LMFAO - Party Rock and Sorry For Party Rocking
Day 9 of asking SaVaG3d0ubleCup to stop asking Anthony to review LMFAO - Party Rock and Sorry For Party Rocking
It's not Classics week yet
Every day, I treacherously roam through Fantano’s comment sections with constant fear, for my spine chills and I shriek everytime I even catch a glimpse of the man who asks for a review of LMFAO’s albums Party Rock and Sorry For Party Rocking.
Day 2 of supporting your cause
@Emathy Farrow which one because they’re both tens
Cannibal corpse is favorite band of all time. The consistency is what I love the most about them. Every song sounds like a careening freight train just barely hanging on to the track. 4 minutes horror flicks in your head on every track.
Not to mention their live shows are just so brutal they are the meme of Dethklok personified.
Longtime Ariana Grande fan here, and I gotta say “Violence Unimagined” by Cannibal Corpse is one of the better thrash metal albums I’ve listened to all year.
Longtime Cannibal Corpse fan here and I actually really enjoyed most Ariana songs I've heard so far. I like that Anthony brings together listeners from all kinds of genres. It's good to keep an open mind and listen to things outside your comfort zone, whether it's ultraviolent death metal or sensual RnB/pop.
@@jasonbraun127 an unironic, wholesome comment? in anthony fantano's comment section? do my eyes deceive me?
@@jasonbraun127 listen to death grips. They're actually pretty good
@@apararkobhattacharya1276 and Clipping.
Also love both Ariana and death metal ☺
Phoebe bridgers looks so good on this album cover
"At this point you would expect they'd imagined every violence at least twice"
I stole this joke.
Damn, Phoebe Bridgers got dark
Let’s just respect the fact that the comment section isn’t filled with meme comments and other bullshit he gets in most of the reviews since a long time.
Not a DM fan but will give it a listen since it’s a mostly positive review and for the most part when I decide to listen to something after I see it from him - I do end up enjoying it (or loveing it - Pinata and other Gibbs projects).
I'm so happy that Anthony reviewed a Cannibal Corpse album.
Love you baby 3>
It's always good to see Melon review metal. Sucks that he doesn't do it as often as he did years ago, but you gotta go with whatever brings in the most views, I guess.
I believe Anthony said he never cared that most album reviews get less views because he said it meant he could review any raunchy, raw record he felt like whenever he felt like it. I respect that.
Holy shit he actually is reviewing something metal for once, Happy metalhead sounds!
I was blown away by how good this was honestly after all of the drama with Pat I thought that Cannibal Corpse was finished then they turn around and released one of their best records in decades.
You can’t stop this band. Pat O’ leaving definitely hit hard, but nothing short of the end of the world will keep them from making a good album.
How do you differentiate a bad album from a good album in a genre like this? Its pretty much the same lol, dont hate me please
@@vasvas8914 Guitar riffs, lyrical patterns, drumming, song structure, subject matter, production quality, etc. For the unknowing music listener it might be hard to tell, but Cannibal is known for writing catchy songs in the death metal genre, and they’ve never released a bad album. They’ve barely strayed from their formula, because that’s because it works. To me, it’s all about the guitar riffs with any death metal band. But George is a fantastic front man. If you look at live performances and talk shit, he’s addressed it. He doesn’t enunciate as clear as he does on the albums because it would kill his voice night after night on tour. He has to preserve it for longevity, The tone is still there, he just doesn’t separate his words as much. Some bands just sound unintelligible even on the albums. And death metal vocals are not just “screaming”. It takes way more practice and training than traditional singing. For the reasons stated.
@@vasvas8914 Listen to Follow the Blood, Scourge of Iron, Death Walking Terror, Icepick Lobotomy for examples of catchy death metal. And Scavenger Consuming Death and Inhumane Harvest. I could go on
@@jakepayne2985 ok I'll try man, thanks, but to be honest the whole gore-murder-rape shtick is getting tiring for me after a couple minutes. Are there death metal bands that choose other themes or is it all like that? I kinda like black metal occult themes or classic thrash "man vs. higher powers" songs.
fantano actually dressed up for this, in his h&m generic metalhead aesthetic, i appreciate the effort
he dresses like that more often than i notice
He has a Nepalm death shirt on
The bass was actually a DI track recorded at home for this album. Alex Webster couldn't reach the studio due to lockdowns.
Thrashy brutal Death Metal with groovy riffs made with modern master and mix. Fuck yeah
cannibal corpse?
who tf is that??
oh do you mean SIX FEET UNDER????
melon's a poser
"beating a dead horse, even though that does sound like something they would write a really epic song about." LOL
U made me realize why this album specifically got me into CC. I`m a big Slayer fan and haven`t heard much Death Metal, now knowing this is more thrashy than their usual stuff makes a lot of sense to me.
This is their best album since Torture
Oh hi
For me since Gore Obsessed
Torture was a shit album. I would say this is their best album since evisceration plague.
@@FabulousKilljoy oh my god it’s been such a long time
Why does Fantano wear a jacket that says simp on it.
It's a vest 💀
Cannibal Corpse are the Godzilla of Death Metal. Loud, Violent, Destructive & Powerful...and no doubt they always will be.
I'd given up hope you'd even review this album, this is surprising. I loved it though, so good to see you enjoyed it too.
Honestly, I feel like Cannibal Corpse is probably one of the most consistent veteran metal bands out there, along with Napalm Death.
I appreciate how seriously he reviews Cannibal Corpse albums.
Fantano wearing that napalm death shirt and vest full of patches, praising cannibal corpse, is just doooing it for me rn ngl 😭
This is there best project in awhile. Necrogenic resurrection is a banger.
Favorite track for me since first listen
Alex wrote that one
I'm a big fan of CC, and really dig this album from beginning to end. I was afraid that the loss of Pat was going to kill it for me. The line up for the past few albums was my fave for CC, but Eric really brought it. It's an 8 for me. I do agree, that the first half is the best.
Their best since Evisceration Plague IMO. Solid!
I'd say that Torture was a better album but this one isn't too far behind it
@@thenotoriousmemph6457 Torture was good too, I completely forgot about it. Gotta check that one again!
Torture, Skeletal domain and Violence unimagined are all in my top 5 for Cannibal corpse (along with Kill and bloodthirst)
Cannibal Corpse.. 30 years of being metal as fuck! 🤘🔥
they've been cranking out groundbreaking, consistently good brutal death metal for 32 years with little recognition from mainstream or critics. Cracks me up when people decide to finally notice them.
Lol, cannibal corpse is literally the most mainstream death metal band on the planet dude. Everyone and their grandma has heard of them before
@@howler9171 but yes, CC _is_ a cornerstone of death metal, and basically helped define and shape the genre imho. All these dudes in their 50s still cranking out killer records and continue to find new sounds and ways to innovate their playstyle, I can only think of maybe 2 other bands out there after that many years still going that hard.
@@austinh6540 it honestly sounded like Corpsegrinder got better in this album which is very impressive
Need more metal review this was a shocking surprise 🤘🏽
VINDICATION THANK YOU
for the last week me and my buds have been arguing about the mix, and first thing I said is “I can’t hear any of the low end in my car” and they were listening on headphones telling me it’s fine. I’m so glad I’m not the only person who noticed absolutely no low end
Every once in a while you can catch the bass fucking killing it. Like “Follow The Blood” but the bass is mostly buried.
Damn, this is an actually good review. I would maybe give it a strong 8 rather than a decent 7, but your heart is in the right place Anthony, and I appreciate that.
Now that I know fantano's opinion on the album I can go enjoy it. Thanks melon.
Is that THE Ash Platt
@@bradylibby4889 it is I
1 of 10 metal albums Anthony will review this year. Btw Erik Rutan is a LEGEND.
Agreed. Great producer, mixer, guitarist, song writer....Saw him with Morbid on the Domination tour. He's up there with Chuck on the Mt. Rushmore of DM.
I met Erik Rutan on the "I, Monarch" tour with Hate Eternal. Pretty awesome guy, he took time to talk to everyone.
that is Phoebe Bridgers on the cover
There are two kinds of music: original, authentic and compelling, and derivative, copycat and/or manufactured. I appreciate a lot of thrash and death metal, though there are just SO MANY that copy the same formula and even fonts and artwork, that both are hugely over-populated genres. But Cannibal Corpse are one of the innovators in their realm, so worth a listen. Thanks for the thoughful review- it is cool that you really listen and explain why it makes certain impressions on you. You get deep inside the music, and so hats off to you! I'll give this one a listen myself. I have to say though that I never understood why a genre that is so often dismissed entirely by the mainstream typically play right into their own stereotype with the gruesome but oddly funny bad art and splatter-house song titles. But that's just me. They probably don't give a F*** , so I guess you hardcore punk , and even most hip hop is that way too. Formulaic, but proud of it.
That's Mileena from Mortal Kombat on the album cover.
Adding Erik Rutan was probably one of the best decisions this band could have made
In my personal, and professional opinion, A Skeletal Domain is probably the most "full" sounding Corpse record out there. The production on that record is fantastic.
Good melon.
Speaking of what to review next, in a few days we get a new Gojira album
Pheobe bridgers is that you
The album is looking like a free iPhone horror game
lo l
Yeah the uncensored cover is way better
okay but Krallice's return to raw and atmospheric black metal with Demonic Wealth NEEDS to be addressed in a video, or at least a yunoreview
I love that you are a true music nerd and will review almost everything I listen to including death metal. Thank you; You are the only music critic worth checking out.
Fun fact: Cannibal Corpse was featured in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective at the personal request of Jim Carrey.
Jim Carrey likes napalm death too
I like the fact that when Cannibal Corpse comes on I can be assured that I am getting good death metal no matter what album.
Phoebe Bridgers on the cover.
Dear Melon, could you please do the new Gojira album?
This review made me go back and listen to Cannibal Corpse's entire catalogue. What a great band! Hard to pick a favorite album.
Looking forward to a new Portal review. Altarage just dropped a banger as well.
I've been obsessed with this record. Well over 30 listens now.
Anthony! Put that record down! Mom told you to not listen to violent music! You are getting grounded melon!
I thought it was a 9.5, my top three C.C. albums are: A Skeletal Domain, Violence Unimagined, Vile
Huh, I do like aggressive music and the album cover looks interesting
Try it and let us know if you liked it
hope you enjoy it, if you do check it out!
This is really an old school death metal record, if you like this, listen to their older albums:
Kill
The Bleeding
Tomb Of The Mutilated
@@tpags7398 i second The Bleeding. My favorite Cannibal Corpse record.
@@theabsolute23 what’s interesting is it’s basically a tech death album, so was kill. It’s probably the best one with Chris Barnes on vocals
It took me years to get into Cannibal Corpse, but as I got older and hated life more they became part of my walking around the streets soundtrack.
Check out autopsy severed survival. An oldie but a goldie.
Autopsy, Repulsion, Impetigo, Mortician, Incantation, Immolation.
They best album in a long time
Pat's absence was really felt on this record I thought. He really provided a lot of the super technical and surgically precise riffing and songwriting. The best example of that is the A Skeletal Domain album which he contributed to greatly. It just didn't feel like they were pushing the boundaries of what they could do technically. Mostly just spinning their wheels. I'm sure Rob Barrett had to contribute more music because of of Pat not being in the band and his songs tend to be a lot less technical and more barbaric in a way.
smh melon I can’t believe you didn’t put EGIRLS ARE RUINING MY LIFE in the best tracks section
Corpse should just be a corpse
@@joshfromjuniorstudios agreed, the dude chainsmokes newports and thinks he’s special
I have a vinyl rip of this new one. The increased dynamic range from the vinyl mastering is much appreciated.
Everyone stop saying that the cover art is phoebe i am losing my mind
I haven't seriously checked Cannibal Corpse due to my initial impression of them, but I checked the latest record, and it's good ol meat and potatoes death metal. Need to check their back catalog later.
the death band that wont die
Love this album. The more I've listened to it the more I dig it. Really appreciate the slightly different guitar tones on this album, wondering if they mixed in a boosted 800 a la Rutan? The guitars seem more clear and cutting with a greater high mid content and not as insanely distorted. Also dig the different variety in the solos and some more cool melodies here and there. These are also the clearest I've heard Corpsegrinder's vocals in a while, which were already pretty clear on albums.
omg is Phoebe Bridgers ok?????????????
Phoebe Bridgers doesn’t look her best on this one
OMG! Huge Fantano and Corpse fan. I never thought I'd see a CC review on this channel. I'm just... so happy right now. Thank you, Anthony. You made my day. :)
I really liked this album! It’s solid
