don’t look too far into the lyrics lol this is literally suppose to be a horror/slasher movie in music form. nothing more, nothing less. no deep philosophical meaning to be found here
TRUTH. But at the same time these two are honest in that they are learning about metal from song to song through this channel, and they did a lot of black metal before this, so I can understand why they would take this song seriously. They have only known of extreme metal for 3/4ths of a year.
llamatronic as true as that is, it has nothing to do with the song. do you think Chris Barnes was thinking about that when he wrote the song? i think not. the man is a stoner who loves extreme music and horror/slasher/gore movies and decided to combine the two. he was not trying to be philosophical one bit. so why not just keep the review about the song and not how it ties into the ‘real world.’
chris barnes just wanted to shock people. this song is fantastic, but the lyrics are pretty lame and actually like a 4 out of 10 on the violence scale compared to other cannibal corpse songs from the time. Barnes went on to form Six Feet Under, the most hippie death metal band I've ever heard. they actually recorded a song called "4:20" that was recorded on April 20th at 4:20.
@sick turrett Calm the fuck down... Since when did god say it's ok to do violence. The bible describes events happening. The new testament gets rid of that violence and explains it in a lighter mood. The old Testament describes events that happens before Jesus. The bible *describes* events that happened. It doesn't glorify it. Even if it did you got remeber it happend in ancient times so you gotta fucking understand it wasnt all sunshine and rainbows. Times then were rough. Violence was a common thing. But it doesnt glorify all violence for example : 1: peter 39 "Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so you many inherit this blessing." Proverbs 3:29 29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you. Psalm 11:5 5 the Lord examines the righteous but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates witb a passion Now im not trying to have a religious debate but people who make up shit really give a bad impression on Christians. And it pisses me off when ignroant people twists those words up. Again i don't care if you think god is real or not. But, you gotta actually read some facts. The books were written in a time of violence. Did it encourage senseless violence ? No Did it encourage self defense ? Yes
@@aadityabhetuwal5990 Videogames only cause violence if mentally ill people play them. If there was someone who was off their meds and played a game like doom while listening to cannibal corpse. That mentally ill person could take the message more literal. Sure There was violence before videogames. But all these mass shootings were mainly caused by fanaticism, Drugs and of course mental disease. And i didn't say they played simulators in 800 BC. What is your fucking problem ?
Did it evoke a reaction? Evoke an emotion? Then it is art and it is music. You don't have to enjoy it but don't devalue it and insult it by naming it not to be art.
@@andrewhicks3936 Good or bad is subjective, no one gives a shit what you think is good. Believe it or not the drumming, guitar and bass takes actual talent to play, even more so to actually write the songs
There's a whole TV channel dedicated to real-life murders that even includes reenactments. If I'm a bad person for listening to death metal, then so are the millions of people who watch televised murder porn.
I actually find the book versions disturbing too but fair point. It is only music, particularly Metal, that people go crazy on. The PMRC did not have a literary division.
Thats so stupid that she said its not art its amazing musicianship and awesome lyrics but metal is not for everyone. "Extreme music for extreme people" - David Vincent
Yeah or watches horror movies then get shocked by this :D It's fucking funny. That's the thing with Cannibal Corpse. It's over the top horror movie which is presented in music. I like Cannibal Corpse. Vin, Sori don't take it too seriously :)
The thing you need to understand about Cannibal Corpse is that their music is like watching a cheesy slasher movie. And they know it. It's all in good fun.
@@xulunknown Did you see their Cradle of Filth - Her Ghost In the Fog reaction? I love it , they are totally shocked by how poetic the song is and end up praising it a little lol
Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse bassist and songwriter) has said about the Death metals aggressive lyrics, that they are nothing more than just "safe way to relieve negative energy in our bodies" I understand that people will be shocked when they hear these kind of lyrics the first time, but i, who listens death metal daily just laugh when i see the good gruesome lyric line. Cannibal Corpse musicians are the nicest people ever, they hate real life violence like all other Death Metal musicians. Its just combining the love for horror movies and way to release negative emotions. Real life violence is horrible and one of the worst things ever, but fictional violence is awesome when wrote in creative way.
Alex is the dude. One of the most skilled musicians in metal or any other genre. Anyone who wants to hear him rip in a non-death-metal form, check out Blotted Science and Conquering Dystopia.
Extreme Metal is very cathartic to me. Whenever I'm pissed off and angry, I'll play some aggressive Extreme Metal at full volume and when I'm done I'll feel so much better.
Well I don’t think you can take life to seriously, but it is possible to take a simple song with not that offensive lyrics too seriously, and they definitely did that. They should listen to necropedophile, then we’ll se what they have to say
I get the vibe that Sori doesn't know how to just let go and have fun with music. Trying to intellectualize Cannibal Corpse seems fruitless. They're just one of those dumb fun bands with escapist lyrics. It's not meant to be some super deep grown up adult stuff, it's meant to be a release. I get not liking it, but not liking it because it's a bit childish misses the point entirely. It would be like not enjoying Ne Obliviscaris because they don't have techno beats, not liking Behemoth because they don't sing about My Little Pony, or not liking Opeth because they aren't a political band. Surely you can see the absurdity here. For those struggling with addiction, keep at it. If a complete dipshit like myself can beat alcoholism, so can you. Andrew Jackson Jihad - Big Bird Carcass- A Congealed Clot Of Blood Corrosion Of Conformity - Clean My Wounds Green Carnation - Light Of Day, Day Of Darkness
Ben Webb Ben they are dealing with grown up stuff. How do people accept and passively dismiss the idea of calculated human suffering? No explanation will be satisfactory. They are either completely desensitized or they are lying to get attention.
Dirk Diggler Neither of those. A lot of death metal is musical theater. Think of the genre as being the Troma films of music and it'll make more sense.
Well, I get where she's coming from. It's one thing to let go and have fun with Andrew W.K. singing dumb songs about throwing parties, and another to have fun with Cannibal Corpse's creative descriptions of murder.
There are those clips of him saying he's a fan but he mistakenly says "thrash metal" and mentions Napalm Death while playing Cannibal Corpse's song so I'm guessing he just said it for comedy's sake
Come on guys what did you expect 2 Christians to think when they read this? Lol. To Vin and Sori, I have spent actual time with these guys at meet and greet concerts. They are some of the most nicest, down to earth, humble, caring people I have ever met. They have always reiterated the fact that these lyrics are made in the same vein of horror movies and that they are not meant to be taken literally. Alex Webster, the bassist, was coming out of the venue one time with his bass in the freezing New York cold. There were about 5 of us waiting by the bus to see if we would see anyone from the bands that played that night and one of the kids waiting outside slips and falls on ice. Alex Webster puts his shit down, runs over to the kid and is worried about him like a mother with her own child. He made sure the kid was okay, went back to get his bass, took it to the bus, and came right back out to hang out and take pictures with all of us while he himself walks through the huge patch of ice the other kid just fell off of just to be with the fans. Point of the story is that your assessment that this band represents the bible verse of darkness or whatever you spoke of, couldn't be further from the truth with respect to the band members of this band, who again, are the nicest most chill people ever.
I'm 41 years old and have been Christian all my life and I have been listening to death metal and black metal for over 25 years. Cannibal Corpse has been one of my favorite bands for much of that period because I've had always enjoyed horror films and horror fiction and their lyrics and themes draw heavily from both. I don't consider Cannibal Corpse to be childish or immature, they know what they are and they have parlayed that into a very successful long career. Their music is extremely heavy and their lyrics, while controversial, always tell some kind of macabre horror story. The band's current vocalist George Fisher said: "We don't sing about politics. We don't sing about religion...All our songs are short stories that, if anyone would so choose they could convert it into a horror movie. Really, that's all it is. We like gruesome, scary movies, and we want the lyrics to be like that. Yeah, it's about killing people, but it's not promoting it at all. Basically these are fictional stories, and that's it. And anyone who gets upset about it is ridiculous." In response to accusations that his band's lyrics desensitize people to violence, Alex Webster argued death metal fans enjoy the music only because they know the violence depicted in its lyrics is not real: "I think people probably aren't that desensitized to it, you know including myself, like you know, we sing about all this stuff and you watch a movie where you know it's not real and it's no big deal, but if you really saw someone get their brains bashed in right in front of you, I think it would have a pretty dramatic impact on any human being you know what I mean? Or some terrible, gross act of violence or whatever done right in front of you, I mean you'd react to it, no matter how many movies you've watched or how much gore metal you've listened to or whatever, I'm sure it's a completely different thing when it's right in front of you. Even though we've got crazy entertainment now, our social realities are actually a bit more civilized than they were back then, I mean we're not hanging people or whipping them in the street and I think that's positive improvement for any society in my opinion." I still think you guys should do a reaction to a Morbid Angel song, Blasphemy or Chapel of Ghouls are both good, and the lyric content from early Morbid Angel has heavy satanic themes.
It's death metal so obviously it's about an actual hammer smashed face. But if you've seen interviews with CC they'll say that they don't condone anything that's talked about in their songs. Even the current singer George Fisher (before he was in the band) admitted to being shocked when he first saw the album cover for Butchered at Birth. They just claim to be fans of horror comics and movies, so they enjoy singing about violence and death, which isn't any different from watching violent horror movies.
I think this was a complete MISS. it’s simple, people enjoy this music the way you would enjoy a horror film. It’s entertainment. You know what disturbs me? Watching the news on tv. Think about that one.
I don’t even give a s h i t about the lyrics. Sure, Barns’s vocals aren’t for me, I like Fisher’s better. But that’s just it, the vocals and the musicianship are all that matters, all that should matter. If I hear bad lyrics, I just tune it out and enjoy the rest of the song.
Your faces when you where reading the lyrics really made me smile :) This type of music is the musical equivalent to horror movies. Its just silly entertainment not to be taken to serious. Cannibal Corpse lyrics are just little horror stories on some bad-ass brutal Death Metal. I have seen Cannibal Corpse 9 times since 2000 Always pure entertainment. I nice outlet after a week of hard labour. Growling along with a beer in your hand. Bang your head to the riffs or join the moshpit. Thats the fun of this. I have a few albums and the dvd from their 20th anniversary of being a band. But i almost never play it at home This is music to experience live.
hahaha. thing is, the guys from these classic death metal bands are usually the most chilled guys, and regular jolly fellas. just watch some interviews with em. its the genre, artistic expression, same as horror movies for example. these are pretty regular guys with families and kids etc.
The guys in Cannibal Corpse are big horror movie fans like myself. This music serves the same purpose as slasher films or novels. It is not to be taken seriously. I'm not a bad person for listening to Corpse. My hometown is on Oxygen channel right now. The Jessica Chambers case. She lived right behind me. That's real life shit I could never do.
You're taking the lyrics literally. It's all about horror, shock and gore which we're exposed to everyday in this messed up world. This band means a lot to me. Those lyrics are fantasy, a story. Don't overthink it.
Ok guys it's death metal, not Jackson Browne. I think you're over analyzing the lyrics here. When I listen to any kind of metal the first two things that attract me are the guitars and drumming. There's a shitton of death metal that I like I have no idea what the lyrics are... Now try Morbid Angel - "Chapel of Ghouls."
Most Death metal fans do not listen or pay attention to the lyrics...its all about the music and instrumentation. Lyrics are last in the line IMO. Honestly I do not know any Cannibal corpse lyrics besides maybe the chorus....and I have every CC album and have heard them all many times. Its all about the guitar bass and drums to me.
I totally agree with you. I don't even pay attention to the lyrics in metal or any genre of music. My wife and I will be listening to a song, and she'll say that the lyrics in a particular song are beautiful, and I'm like I don't even hear them. I'm more focused on the instrumentation and structure of a song.
I actually think that there is a filter but for us, we just hear the music. My gf is the opposite, she hears the lyrics first. Some feel the whole thing, but as a drummer by nature, ihear the music first.
here I go again looking like The Metal Nerd. The singer is Chris Barnes (super nice guy) and he was with the band til '96. He left and created the band Six Feet Under. Cannibal Corpse brought in George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher from this other band called Monstrocity, and recorded an album called Vile. The opening song off of that album "Devoured By Vermin" is the first take of any Cannibal recording he's done. That opening scream is the first instance of anyone hearing him. And he's been with the band ever since. ANNNNND there's a killer dvd called Centuries Of Torment that's 3 discs with a 3 hour documentary full shows and some extra stuff. And this is why I'm still single cause I know this shit. lol
If you ever see this band live you will understand their music. When they play this song at the end of a show it brings amazing energy to the crowd. A very nice song that lets the bass guitar shine. Sometimes you just want to have fun watching Friday the 13th or Wrong Turn, Cannibal Corpse is the musical equivalent of that.
These Christians cannot see the Art because they are blind, Christians cannot see anything for what it really is, because they are blinded by religion. None of that for me.
@@scumbag1731 well, if your listening to Slayer, awsom band by the way, most conservative evangelical Christians would argue that you are not really a Christian, but a false convert. You must be liberal Christian then,
I'm not afraid to admit that im a sinful person. I embrace my animalistic nature. Lots of people have the urge to cause chaos and carnage. we use alternatives to release that urge like listening to death metal or playing violent video games. Why not have fun in the one and only life you will have on this earth?
Venom - In League With Satan Venom is one of the early influencers of extreme/black/death/thrash metal (1981). "Would you agree that if you played this song backwards there would be hidden Satanic messages?" "Look, the album is called Welcome To Hell, the song is In League With Satan and there's a giant goat's head and pentagram on the album cover. We're not trying to hide anything!"
People watching saw movies: THAT WAS SICK CANT WAIT FOR THE NEXT ONE 😍😍😍 The same people listening to CC Hammer Smashed Face: 🤬🤬🤢🤢🤮🤮 this is like soooooo disgusting like how can anyone like listen to this?!?!? 🙄🙄😒😒
Songs like these bring up the problems inherent in your format. There are many tunes that are exceptionally well written, and have great stories. Some metal does not. This is one of those times. You have to appreciate chaos and the macabre to understand death metal on any level. You also can't look completely in the lyrics, as the music is MUSIC based. It's for musicians. Analyze a riff or a drum pattern for fucks sake.
When you get into the extreme stuff, about 70 percent has to be listened to in that capacity. They've gone over most of the bands with digestible vocalists in metal. Vocal ability as you get deeper and deeper into the genre isn't as important. Extreme metal is a musicians genre, or for someone that wants more out of their music.
Totally agree man, I think the 2 reacting to this are being overly dramatic and closed minded, they stick to their ways and don't want to hear what anybody else wants to say, especially if its not in their beliefs, and its okay for them to have their own beliefs but they need to be more open minded to everybody, cause everyone has a story to tell
@@kzed. Well there needs to be a sensibility in the marketing. How is being a Christian relatable to a band like Cannibal Corpse?? Its understandable for a Satanic or a black metal band with anti Christian ideologies but what correlation does it have with a song like this😂
@@JM-ji9kx Well as I mentioned in my earlier comment that this song or Cannibal Corpse in general has nothing to do Christianity. Its pure carnage gory shit. So therez no relatability to being a Christian and not listening to something like this. Are you trying to tell me that a Christian normally doesnt watch horror movies or gore in general??
Honestly I don't hate this song--but it doesn't show off much about what makes the band great. The song slaps live tho A better pick would have been say, Evidence in the Furnace, Scourge of Iron, High Velocity Impact Splatter, or Fucked with a Knife (also Barnes>>>>Corpsegrinder don't @ me)
Cannibal Corpse is a LEGENDARY death metal band. One of the pioneers of this genre. You really oughta react to more if you at least appreciated the music!
20:29 guys,it's called ESCAPISM...just like any n every violent horror movies,it's entertainment...come on guys,just chill n relax a bit will ya..you overanalyzing this song too much...🤗🤗🤗
mohamed rashdan abdul kader this isn't the type of escapism normal people look for. I like horror movies too but not the ones that are just gratuitous hideous imagery. That's weak and lazy
@@xenophon343 yes i understood completely what you were saying...sometimes it's just down to personal choices,i mean for me,i focus more on the music rather than the lyrical contents...as long as the music is awesome,i couldn't care less about the lyrics...🤘👹💀🤖👻👿🤘
You either make it past the horror movie gore or you don't listen to death metal. Not many people get over the lyrics and vocals. The old school bands (87 -95) are very good. Death, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Entombed, Malevolent Creation, Monstrosity, Unleashed, Pestilence, Gorguts, Grave, Dismember, Bolt Thrower to name a few for anyone interested in old school death metal.
Yeah but even some of the bands you named have more substances in their music than just blood and gore. I hate bands that just evolve around shit like this.
@@Jordan-it9xx you're not wrong and I would have mentioned that not all bands in the genre revolve around gore lyrics but I was on mobile and didn't feel like typing that all out.
Dylan Fernandez i understand but bands like you said bolt thrower and death are good examples. They started out with the more gory lyrics and moved on and changed there sound to write more meaningful songs.
Alex Webster should given more recognition from the world, he is one of the best bass players ever to exist, so underrated. Don't bother with the lyrics, its about the adrenaline really, no different from watching a scary movie. Gotta finish watching this now, I'm glad ya'll are covering this. Thanks.
Funny thing is the guys of the band are really nice. The current singer George "Corpsegrind" Fisher is a big guy with a huge neck, but is really nice and a World of Warcraft nerd. He carriers the laptop on tours so he can play it in hotel rooms. I would compare this to splatter movies like someone said below. Not as an actual message from the band. Not really huge fan of their music, but I have some kind of respect for them being old school death metal which probably many later band which some take themselves too seriously in my opinion have taken influences. Also the real life and stage personality contrast make things funny :)
Gore lyrics are like a trope of old-school death metal more than anything else. Lyrics are gory and violent only because they were/are supposed to be like that to fit in the genre. It is like watching a trash-horror-gore movie from the 90s, there will be seas of blood, dismemberments, guts everywhere and you are not supposed to take it seriously in the slightest.
Woke up early and was sad when i didn't see an upload. Now i got what i wanted plus it's Cannibal! Also, Cannibal Corpse doesn't mean what they write, it's all shock value. I look at it as horror films in musical form
The Underground Metal Elitist if you only car about lyrics. If you don't understand fine, get off your high horse and let metal be fun. They could wipe their ass with Cattle musically. You draw to much attention with poorly worded opinions like that.
Melkor Johnson I gotta disagree with you on the musical aspect. Cattle is much more technically skilled. I dislike both groups but at least cattle has a message behind it.
The Underground Metal Elitist you claim you don’t care what anyone thinks. But when you sit down with them face to face you are meek as a child; Cordial even. You are not as care free as you claim. Of course most of what you say is disingenuous anyway.
@The Underground Metal Elitist Oh come on, sometimes you do want a delicate carefully designed full meal and other times you just need a hamburger and it tastes awesome too. CC clearly belongs to the latter group. And if you take away the dumb lyrics they are far from garbage as far as musicianship is concerned too, they are masters at handling their instruments who can consistently write really good riffs and arrange them into good OSDM songs. I have hard time imagining anyone who is into oldschool extreme metal who, for example, can honestly claim this song is garbage. But then again opinions are like assholes...
Dirk Diggler actually Dirk, you need to be objective. You may not like the subject matter but the music here is stop notch. There is no low standard for music here. Some people just like the horror movie imagery. I have an issue with that (I think its silly and simplistic) and also the lyrics. I don't like ultra ultra low growls like this song has.
Dirk Diggler wow, I guess your word is god in the metal community then, huh? So then why did you allow these guys to get so big? Oh, wait, you’re just another guy that judges because you personally don’t like something. Kick rocks, guy.
Chris Barnes the original vocalist on this track who wrote the lyrics is the chillest guy ever. His lyrics ..... 🤷♂️ p.s she was into the music till he started singing 🤣
I saw these guys live a few months back. They played at this one place in Helsinki in a decently sized hall, nothing amazing but not just a pub stage either. There were about 400 people there and once these guys got on stage, everyone went crazy. They played some of their new material, but the old classic songs were the ones that made everyone mosh and flail around, this song in particular made the crowd explode when they played it as the last song. I find their songs to be just mindless fun, and the best way to experience that is at one of their live performances, in a crowded, hot and sweaty hall just moshing and headbanging along with hundreds of other people. These guys have been touring longer than I've been alive and they still play with the same energy as years ago, and don't take themselves at all seriously. I had a chance to meet with some of the members after the performance, George (the singer) who is this overweight guy with super long hair and a neck wider than his head (seriously, look him up. He's been headbanging for a really, really long time) was very cheerful and happily interacted with the fans during and after the show. I also had a long discussion with Alex Webster along with five other fans at a pub. He's the bass player, he even signed my notebook. We discussed politics, literature, religion and a bunch of other stuff, along with talking about music. He's a really nice, kind guy, and a brilliant musician.. Two of the fans that were discussing with him were christian, and we had a really cool, open discussion about a bunch of stuff with him. Their performance overall was one of the most entertaining ones I've ever been to.
As a metal fan AND catholic christian I can say that the criticism is not only silly but hypocritical in the first place. You can't call these lyrics 'immature' and over the top when the bible describes events of slavery, genocide, sexual abuse, incest and any combination of those 4 (and more). There are events in the bible that if they were made into a cannibal corpse song, you wouldn't doubt it for a second.
Big Cannibal Corpse fan here, but i dont think this should have been your first CC experience. I like chris on vocals but Corpsegrinder is so much better. If you ever give them another chance try these: When death replaces life Festering in the crypt Scourge of iron The spine splitter Just to name a few ❤️
SEPTICFLESH🤘SEPTICFLESH🤘SEPTICFLESH Portrait of a headless man (official video) Anubis Vampire from Nazareth Prometheus Martyr Virtues of the beast Sangreal 🤘PLEASE!🤘
You have to understand that these guys are all HUGE horror movie fans. Mostly B movie types. The vocalist and bassist have both stated multiple times in interviews that the lyrics are all horror movie and also some real life stories, influenced and exploring the darkest and sadistic side of human nature. But through extreme music and lyrics rather than movies. None of them are bad or fucked up guys or really think about killing people. Lol. That's most of old school death metal. Songs based off of the real life shit people do to each other, or stuff from the horror genre. It's not meant to be deep or literal. We all have a dark side with aggression. This style is just a positive way to release it. It's a horror movie for your ears. Have fun with it
Vin youd like these guys on an instrumental basis, they are among the best in death metal... SUPER TECHNICAL and master players. This is only their 3rd album... a great album forsure, but after this, they went crazy with playing and technique. As for the lyrics, yup.... just strait up gore.
Edgardo Maulen that’s a ridiculous comparison. Cattle decapitation has very shocking lyrics but they have a purpose and an underlying message. To be clear I despise the band and the content but we have to be logical here. Bands within this sub-genre are capable of writing better lyrics with meaning and purpose. This is useless and distasteful; and this is mild compared to others which is baffling in itself.
I've been reading the comments and alot of people are saying it's just a horror movie in music form, relax. But people relate to music on a much deeper level than to a movie, at least for me. There are songs that have validated my thoughts, set me free, and changed my life. These lyrics may be in all good fun, but you're gonna have that kid that listens to this and it validates his/her thoughts, sets them free, and changes their life. And if they are having these thoughts...
Very thorough and educating video. I myself am a believer, and I dabble in many versions of music, including heavy metal. As a matter of fact, at this time it's my genre of choice. The main takeaway with listening to secular music, biblically, is don't let it spiritually effect you or anyone else. This goes TV as well.
And if you say that the song was immature then you're pretty much considering the whole genre as immature, because "lyrically" all traditional death metal is the same. Now there is all kinds of different sub-genres of death metal, that sound like death metal but lyrically do not sing about death and violence. But to call it immature, you're really judging the whole genre and a lot of other similar bands.
It is immature though lol. Those lyrics are so ridiculous and stupid, that they look like they were written by a 14 year old kid. It's so stupid. The music is amazing, but the lyrics are just retarded. No substance at all. It's nothing but shock value. Pure stupidity. They wrote it thinking "huh huh, people are going to be sooo offended by this"...that's immature.
@@darkestfearspodcast Yup. Pretty much sums it up. I'm sure I thought the lyrics were cool or funny more than 20 years ago or more when I was about 14. Back when it was "funny" to tell all those "you know what's grosser than gross" jokes.
Ummm...to each his own but ...they themselves have said that they like bands like Behemoth. Not all death metal bands "sing" about the same things. Some people like some death metal bands and some like others. This song doesn't symbolize the whole genre either lyrically , vocally or otherwise.
Must of missed that one ..there is at least 5 months of this year i was away from YT ..the perils of a lobster fisherman off the S/W coast of Tasmania lol
I like how you guys go into deep conversation after listening to a song in a array of subjects. It's a intellectual personal and spiritual conversation often times and that's uniquely awesome regardless of views or opinions y'all express it's nice to hear ya'lls points. With that said... What about a Dope - Blood money reaction just for giggling shits lol
I have a funny Story about Cannibal Corpse. I've been a victim of violent crime and have a hard time going out on my own. When I would have to take the bus to and from work (or wherever i was headed that day) I would listen to Cannibal Corpse, as they were much more scary then the ideas I was projecting as to what could happen to me on the bus. I could control what I was listening to, thus I could control my level of fear and focus it on the songs knowing i could turn them off at any time, and that took away the fear of getting mugged and what not. Then I started to like a few songs, Ironically. Truth be told, I never understood a single lyric to any song.
She lost me at the cookie monster reference. My best friend was just found in the woods of my neighborhood with his hands and head cut off and everyone in my neighborhood wants to see his head cut off in turn.
@@VinAndSori I didn't mean any disrespect btw. I just get randomly triggered sometimes and have to apologize later. There's some real monsters in this world. The biggest challenge any good person will face in this life is remaining one.
With CC you have to understand their mindset when they write these songs. To them each of these songs is a horror movie in song format. The guys from CC are from Buffalo. Whenever they visit back here for a show they always set aide around 50-100 tix specifically for Veterans in the local area. If they aren't used the band sells the tix and the money is donated to the local VA. It was so much one time that the VA called their manager and asked if they would like a wing of the hospital named after them. They joked "the morgue"
Haha.. The looks on your faces 😂 priceless!.. Oh I Love Cannibal Corpse 🤘🏻🤘🏻... However please may l ask you two to review more AMON AMARTH it has been far too long now since your last reaction: Father of the Wolf, Death in Fire, One Thousand Burning Arrows, Blood Eagle, Thousand Years of Oppression, Under the Northern Star, On Northern Shores, Pursuit of Vikings, Raise Your Horns. 😉 UP THE IRONS 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I just know this is going to be interesting 😂 just like Sori i only like the beginning with the instruments. Better do Helloween Keeper of the seven keys instead 😉
Cannibal Corpse is a death metal band for people who don't take their death metal too seriously. This vocalist was Chris Barnes and their current vocalist George Fisher is a much better lyricist and vocalist. This band is not an analyze the lyrics and go deep down sort of band. This band is you wanna jam the fuck out to some brutal grooves and have a good time. It's like the equivalent of analyzing a slasher film, it's just fun to watch, just like it's fun to listen to.
George Fisher doesn't write lyrics. He stated this on the centuries of torment DVD. Also Chris Barnes was/is a far better vocalist than Fisher. Alex and the drummer write the lyrics and their not as good as Barnes.
I'm currently working to quit my caffeine addiction. It's a rough road, but as an Agnostic, I am thankful for your prayers. Thank you, and I love what you guys do!
What's great about you two is that even though everyone is saying how pointless it is to dissect this song; we still get gems discussing the brain. Like when you bring up carving pathways in the brain thereby either creating a shortcut to irascibility or training oneself to self check their own behavior. Great stuff and I believe it to be true.
I'm a Christian but Deathmetal is my all time favorite music style and this has been my favorite band since I was a kid in the late 80s. I don't really care about lyrics in metal I just care about the sound and my faith had never once been affected or influenced negatively in all these decades. But I can understand that it's not for everyone. One of the reasons I can listen to it and not be affected is because I looked at the music as someone who was trying to be in the Deathmetal music business earlier in my life, so I looked at it objectively. Also as someone who has been a Deathmetal vocalist, I think that Deathmetal vocals are the absolute best vocal style there is. My lyrics were based on my faith and life but Chris Barnes (the vocalist on this album) was one of the biggest influences on me as a kid, style wise.
First time actually reading their lyrics. About as gory and anatomically detailed as I imagined it to be. Like has been stated in other comments already, this is pure shock value, without any further substance (ha, sorry about the accidental pun), though some people, like myself, are morbid enough to appreciate the dedication to write as disgustingly violent lyrics as humanly possible. That being said, good on you for powering through regardless. You do great things for the Lord, keep up the good work, my brother and sister. Our family needs more people like you. Bless you.
Major props to Vin for separating his bias and judgment from the goals of the musicians. That is something very difficult to do. Cannibal Corpse is most definitely death metal, and many would say the godfathers of the genre, but condemning them for their lyrics is akin to John Carpenter for writing the script for Halloween instead of writing Ben-Hur. Haha, btw, I'm 110 days smoke-free. Hard as hell addiction to quit, some say tougher than heroin. I've been a smoker for 27 years.
The lyrics of this song are G rated compared to the rest of the album.
Very true

Is this from the same album as Entrails Ripped from a Dead Virgins Cunt?
don’t look too far into the lyrics lol this is literally suppose to be a horror/slasher movie in music form. nothing more, nothing less. no deep philosophical meaning to be found here
There's no deep philosophical meanings in a bunch of the songs they react to, but they always make one up anyways lol.
TRUTH.
But at the same time these two are honest in that they are learning about metal from song to song through this channel, and they did a lot of black metal before this, so I can understand why they would take this song seriously. They have only known of extreme metal for 3/4ths of a year.
Yeah, it's kind of trash, let's be honest.
But there is a philosophical reason as to why this aspect of the human condition exists anyway.
llamatronic as true as that is, it has nothing to do with the song. do you think Chris Barnes was thinking about that when he wrote the song? i think not. the man is a stoner who loves extreme music and horror/slasher/gore movies and decided to combine the two. he was not trying to be philosophical one bit. so why not just keep the review about the song and not how it ties into the ‘real world.’
Violent movies: ok
Violent video games: ok
Violent literature: ok
Violent music: woa hold on now
I never got this mentality
The Bible was violent. Lets just start with the death of Christ and work backwards...
chris barnes just wanted to shock people. this song is fantastic, but the lyrics are pretty lame and actually like a 4 out of 10 on the violence scale compared to other cannibal corpse songs from the time.
Barnes went on to form Six Feet Under, the most hippie death metal band I've ever heard. they actually recorded a song called "4:20" that was recorded on April 20th at 4:20.
@sick turrett
Calm the fuck down...
Since when did god say it's ok to do violence. The bible describes events happening. The new testament gets rid of that violence and explains it in a lighter mood. The old Testament describes events that happens before Jesus.
The bible *describes* events that happened. It doesn't glorify it.
Even if it did you got remeber it happend in ancient times so you gotta fucking understand it wasnt all sunshine and rainbows. Times then were rough. Violence was a common thing.
But it doesnt glorify all violence for example :
1: peter 39
"Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so you many inherit this blessing."
Proverbs 3:29
29 Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you.
Psalm 11:5
5 the Lord examines the righteous but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates witb a passion
Now im not trying to have a religious debate but people who make up shit really give a bad impression on Christians. And it pisses me off when ignroant people twists those words up.
Again i don't care if you think god is real or not. But, you gotta actually read some facts. The books were written in a time of violence. Did it encourage senseless violence ? No
Did it encourage self defense ? Yes
@@ethan9841 but

Videogames only cause violence if mentally ill people play them. If there was someone who was off their meds and played a game like doom while listening to cannibal corpse. That mentally ill person could take the message more literal.
Sure There was violence before videogames. But all these mass shootings were mainly caused by fanaticism, Drugs and of course mental disease.
And i didn't say they played simulators in 800 BC.

Why do people read Stephen King novels, or horror, serial killing mystery books? Only when it's in music that people always freak out.
There's a whole TV channel dedicated to real-life murders that even includes reenactments. If I'm a bad person for listening to death metal, then so are the millions of people who watch televised murder porn.
I actually find the book versions disturbing too but fair point. It is only music, particularly Metal, that people go crazy on. The PMRC did not have a literary division.
Thats so stupid that she said its not art its amazing musicianship and awesome lyrics but metal is not for everyone.
"Extreme music for extreme people" - David Vincent
Yeah or watches horror movies then get shocked by this :D It's fucking funny. That's the thing with Cannibal Corpse. It's over the top horror movie which is presented in music. I like Cannibal Corpse. Vin, Sori don't take it too seriously :)
Horror done wrong is gore just for the sake of gore. Not all gore is done wrong.
The thing you need to understand about Cannibal Corpse is that their music is like watching a cheesy slasher movie. And they know it. It's all in good fun.
this channel has made it this far by over analysing songs. And them and some other people put there own meaning into songs and take it as an absolute.
in their Barnes era, particularly on this album, they tapped into some really psychotic vibes though. Sick shit haha.

Alex Webster (Cannibal Corpse bassist and songwriter) has said about the Death metals aggressive lyrics, that they are nothing more than just "safe way to relieve negative energy in our bodies" I understand that people will be shocked when they hear these kind of lyrics the first time, but i, who listens death metal daily just laugh when i see the good gruesome lyric line. Cannibal Corpse musicians are the nicest people ever, they hate real life violence like all other Death Metal musicians. Its just combining the love for horror movies and way to release negative emotions. Real life violence is horrible and one of the worst things ever, but fictional violence is awesome when wrote in creative way.
Alex is the dude. One of the most skilled musicians in metal or any other genre. Anyone who wants to hear him rip in a non-death-metal form, check out Blotted Science and Conquering Dystopia.
Nice people 100%! I agree. Vin call them I
Extreme Metal is very cathartic to me. Whenever I'm pissed off and angry, I'll play some aggressive Extreme Metal at full volume and when I'm done I'll feel so much better.

Remember that it's not just a song. It's an artform that is articulating another artform(murder). Death Metal articulates an extreme of human nature.
@@H8fulApe yes!
These two are pretty open minded, but they have a tendency to take what they hear seriously, and literally.
That’s how horrible the band is.
I laughed through their whole reaction. They take life to seriously. Lighten up.
Well I don’t think you can take life to seriously, but it is possible to take a simple song with not that offensive lyrics too seriously, and they definitely did that. They should listen to necropedophile, then we’ll se what they have to say
I get the vibe that Sori doesn't know how to just let go and have fun with music. Trying to intellectualize Cannibal Corpse seems fruitless. They're just one of those dumb fun bands with escapist lyrics. It's not meant to be some super deep grown up adult stuff, it's meant to be a release. I get not liking it, but not liking it because it's a bit childish misses the point entirely. It would be like not enjoying Ne Obliviscaris because they don't have techno beats, not liking Behemoth because they don't sing about My Little Pony, or not liking Opeth because they aren't a political band. Surely you can see the absurdity here.
For those struggling with addiction, keep at it. If a complete dipshit like myself can beat alcoholism, so can you.

Ben Webb Ben they are dealing with grown up stuff. How do people accept and passively dismiss the idea of calculated human suffering? No explanation will be satisfactory. They are either completely desensitized or they are lying to get attention.
You sound like a snowflake.😂
Dirk Diggler Neither of those. A lot of death metal is musical theater. Think of the genre as being the Troma films of music and it'll make more sense.
This is the song i listen too when i go on killing spree in GTA
Well, I get where she's coming from. It's one thing to let go and have fun with Andrew W.K. singing dumb songs about throwing parties, and another to have fun with Cannibal Corpse's creative descriptions of murder.
What did you expect from a band called Cannibal Corpse? Basically death metal is the horror movie of metal. Art is everywhere.
True
He said that it was what he expected. Did you ever learn to listen?
I always think of ace Ventura when I hear this song lol
urge4thebirge I remember Jim Carey saying he was a fan of this kind of music. Think he mentioned Napalm Death as one of his favorites.
Yeah I seen him on arsenio hall talking about liking them, and I'm a metal head and I can't do the pig grunt guttural vocals.
There are those clips of him saying he's a fan but he mistakenly says "thrash metal" and mentions Napalm Death while playing Cannibal Corpse's song so I'm guessing he just said it for comedy's sake
Lol, i didn’t see your comment and posted the same thing.
"Excuse me, is Greg here?"
"Thank you."
Come on guys what did you expect 2 Christians to think when they read this? Lol. To Vin and Sori, I have spent actual time with these guys at meet and greet concerts. They are some of the most nicest, down to earth, humble, caring people I have ever met. They have always reiterated the fact that these lyrics are made in the same vein of horror movies and that they are not meant to be taken literally.
Alex Webster, the bassist, was coming out of the venue one time with his bass in the freezing New York cold. There were about 5 of us waiting by the bus to see if we would see anyone from the bands that played that night and one of the kids waiting outside slips and falls on ice. Alex Webster puts his shit down, runs over to the kid and is worried about him like a mother with her own child. He made sure the kid was okay, went back to get his bass, took it to the bus, and came right back out to hang out and take pictures with all of us while he himself walks through the huge patch of ice the other kid just fell off of just to be with the fans.
Point of the story is that your assessment that this band represents the bible verse of darkness or whatever you spoke of, couldn't be further from the truth with respect to the band members of this band, who again, are the nicest most chill people ever.
hehe imagine if they reacted to "I c*m blood" with the lyrics on
or "Entrails ripped...." 😨😊
NECROPEDOPHILE
Even worse, “necropedophile”
I'm 41 years old and have been Christian all my life and I have been listening to death metal and black metal for over 25 years. Cannibal Corpse has been one of my favorite bands for much of that period because I've had always enjoyed horror films and horror fiction and their lyrics and themes draw heavily from both. I don't consider Cannibal Corpse to be childish or immature, they know what they are and they have parlayed that into a very successful long career. Their music is extremely heavy and their lyrics, while controversial, always tell some kind of macabre horror story.
The band's current vocalist George Fisher said: "We don't sing about politics. We don't sing about religion...All our songs are short stories that, if anyone would so choose they could convert it into a horror movie. Really, that's all it is. We like gruesome, scary movies, and we want the lyrics to be like that. Yeah, it's about killing people, but it's not promoting it at all. Basically these are fictional stories, and that's it. And anyone who gets upset about it is ridiculous."
In response to accusations that his band's lyrics desensitize people to violence, Alex Webster argued death metal fans enjoy the music only because they know the violence depicted in its lyrics is not real:
"I think people probably aren't that desensitized to it, you know including myself, like you know, we sing about all this stuff and you watch a movie where you know it's not real and it's no big deal, but if you really saw someone get their brains bashed in right in front of you, I think it would have a pretty dramatic impact on any human being you know what I mean? Or some terrible, gross act of violence or whatever done right in front of you, I mean you'd react to it, no matter how many movies you've watched or how much gore metal you've listened to or whatever, I'm sure it's a completely different thing when it's right in front of you. Even though we've got crazy entertainment now, our social realities are actually a bit more civilized than they were back then, I mean we're not hanging people or whipping them in the street and I think that's positive improvement for any society in my opinion."
I still think you guys should do a reaction to a Morbid Angel song, Blasphemy or Chapel of Ghouls are both good, and the lyric content from early Morbid Angel has heavy satanic themes.
From a fellow Christian, keep on headbanging bro!
It's death metal so obviously it's about an actual hammer smashed face. But if you've seen interviews with CC they'll say that they don't condone anything that's talked about in their songs. Even the current singer George Fisher (before he was in the band) admitted to being shocked when he first saw the album cover for Butchered at Birth. They just claim to be fans of horror comics and movies, so they enjoy singing about violence and death, which isn't any different from watching violent horror movies.
I think this was a complete MISS.
it’s simple, people enjoy this music the way you would enjoy a horror film. It’s entertainment.
You know what disturbs me? Watching the news on tv. Think about that one.
News is disturbing
corrado I agree.
Can't stand the news sometimes, I agree 100%
I don’t even give a s h i t about the lyrics. Sure, Barns’s vocals aren’t for me, I like Fisher’s better. But that’s just it, the vocals and the musicianship are all that matters, all that should matter. If I hear bad lyrics, I just tune it out and enjoy the rest of the song.
Your faces when you where reading the lyrics really made me smile :)
This type of music is the musical equivalent to horror movies.
Its just silly entertainment not to be taken to serious.
Cannibal Corpse lyrics are just little horror stories on some bad-ass brutal Death Metal.
I have seen Cannibal Corpse 9 times since 2000
Always pure entertainment.
I nice outlet after a week of hard labour.

Bang your head to the riffs or join the moshpit.

But i almost never play it at home
This is music to experience live.
"I don't think this is art"
Let's see you do better then. Play any of these instruments better and maybe you'll be able to make an argument
hahaha. thing is, the guys from these classic death metal bands are usually the most chilled guys, and regular jolly fellas. just watch some interviews with em. its the genre, artistic expression, same as horror movies for example. these are pretty regular guys with families and kids etc.

@@throesofrejection4012 drugs man, most people cant handle it :D i wish all the best to him though, he is great musician.

The guys in Cannibal Corpse are big horror movie fans like myself. This music serves the same purpose as slasher films or novels. It is not to be taken seriously. I'm not a bad person for listening to Corpse. My hometown is on Oxygen channel right now. The Jessica Chambers case. She lived right behind me. That's real life shit I could never do.
Cannibal corpse is a legendary band....I respect them a lot
You're taking the lyrics literally. It's all about horror, shock and gore which we're exposed to everyday in this messed up world. This band means a lot to me. Those lyrics are fantasy, a story. Don't overthink it.
Ok guys it's death metal, not Jackson Browne. I think you're over analyzing the lyrics here. When I listen to any kind of metal the first two things that attract me are the guitars and drumming. There's a shitton of death metal that I like I have no idea what the lyrics are... Now try Morbid Angel - "Chapel of Ghouls."
Most Death metal fans do not listen or pay attention to the lyrics...its all about the music and instrumentation. Lyrics are last in the line IMO. Honestly I do not know any Cannibal corpse lyrics besides maybe the chorus....and I have every CC album and have heard them all many times. Its all about the guitar bass and drums to me.
I totally agree with you. I don't even pay attention to the lyrics in metal or any genre of music. My wife and I will be listening to a song, and she'll say that the lyrics in a particular song are beautiful, and I'm like I don't even hear them. I'm more focused on the instrumentation and structure of a song.
I actually fuck the negative lyrics at all. Music is awesome thats only matters to me
Idk I think the lyrics were cathartic. Can understand what they are saying, not unrealistic description.
I actually think that there is a filter but for us, we just hear the music. My gf is the opposite, she hears the lyrics first. Some feel the whole thing, but as a drummer by nature, ihear the music first.
I learn enough to assist me in screaming out lyrics as I'm driving. Really good for therapy, helps mellow me out for the next chapter of my day.
This isn't even the most brutally lyric'd cannibal corpse song.
I cum blood is way worse.

Horror comedyvat its best
here I go again looking like The Metal Nerd. The singer is Chris Barnes (super nice guy) and he was with the band til '96. He left and created the band Six Feet Under. Cannibal Corpse brought in George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher from this other band called Monstrocity, and recorded an album called Vile. The opening song off of that album "Devoured By Vermin" is the first take of any Cannibal recording he's done. That opening scream is the first instance of anyone hearing him. And he's been with the band ever since. ANNNNND there's a killer dvd called Centuries Of Torment that's 3 discs with a 3 hour documentary full shows and some extra stuff.
And this is why I'm still single cause I know this shit. lol
If you ever see this band live you will understand their music. When they play this song at the end of a show it brings amazing energy to the crowd. A very nice song that lets the bass guitar shine. Sometimes you just want to have fun watching Friday the 13th or Wrong Turn, Cannibal Corpse is the musical equivalent of that.
The best end of song at there concert!
There definitely needs to be more 40+ minute videos digging into the philosophy of Cannibal Corpse songs.
“This is not art” spoken like a true Christian
These Christians cannot see the Art because they are blind, Christians cannot see anything for what it really is, because they are blinded by religion. None of that for me.

I'm not afraid to admit that im a sinful person. I embrace my animalistic nature. Lots of people have the urge to cause chaos and carnage. we use alternatives to release that urge like listening to death metal or playing violent video games.

The same people listening to CC Hammer Smashed Face: 🤬🤬🤢🤢🤮🤮 this is like soooooo disgusting like how can anyone like listen to this?!?!?
🙄🙄😒😒
Songs like these bring up the problems inherent in your format. There are many tunes that are exceptionally well written, and have great stories. Some metal does not. This is one of those times. You have to appreciate chaos and the macabre to understand death metal on any level. You also can't look completely in the lyrics, as the music is MUSIC based. It's for musicians. Analyze a riff or a drum pattern for fucks sake.
This
I listen to metal music as if they are all instrumentals, including the voice. There is no lyrics or story, just sounds coming out from a voice box.
When you get into the extreme stuff, about 70 percent has to be listened to in that capacity. They've gone over most of the bands with digestible vocalists in metal. Vocal ability as you get deeper and deeper into the genre isn't as important. Extreme metal is a musicians genre, or for someone that wants more out of their music.
Exactly, I don't care for too much about the lyrics, I just see the vocals as another instrument. =}
Totally agree man, I think the 2 reacting to this are being overly dramatic and closed minded, they stick to their ways and don't want to hear what anybody else wants to say, especially if its not in their beliefs, and its okay for them to have their own beliefs but they need to be more open minded to everybody, cause everyone has a story to tell
What does being a Christian have to do with reacting to a Cannibal corpse song😂😂
@@kzed. Well there needs to be a sensibility in the marketing. How is being a Christian relatable to a band like Cannibal Corpse?? Its understandable for a Satanic or a black metal band with anti Christian ideologies but what correlation does it have with a song like this😂

@@JM-ji9kx But that is not exclusive to christians. Muslims, jews, atheist and common people don't listen to it too.
@@JM-ji9kx Well as I mentioned in my earlier comment that this song or Cannibal Corpse in general has nothing to do Christianity. Its pure carnage gory shit.

Um. Love the neighbor? Turn the other cheek? Be angry and sin not?
It's very Antichristian.
Hahahaha I cant believe you guys actually did this song and put it on mainstage. This song is a meme at this point. Good old school DM tho.
Honestly I don't hate this song--but it doesn't show off much about what makes the band great. The song slaps live tho
A better pick would have been say, Evidence in the Furnace, Scourge of Iron, High Velocity Impact Splatter, or Fucked with a Knife (also Barnes>>>>Corpsegrinder don't @ me)
It's fucking brutal! That's why you pick this one, modern dm is a joke. \m/
@HQVideoDude you clearly don't know whats brutal.
Cannibal Corpse is a LEGENDARY death metal band. One of the pioneers of this genre. You really oughta react to more if you at least appreciated the music!
I like how they stopped talking when he started growling

This is why reading metal lyrics isn't always the way to go
Lol
the fuck you mean lol, its exactly the way to go.
You either make it past the horror movie gore or you don't listen to death metal. Not many people get over the lyrics and vocals. The old school bands (87 -95) are very good. Death, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Entombed, Malevolent Creation, Monstrosity, Unleashed, Pestilence, Gorguts, Grave, Dismember, Bolt Thrower to name a few for anyone interested in old school death metal.
Yeah but even some of the bands you named have more substances in their music than just blood and gore. I hate bands that just evolve around shit like this.
@@Jordan-it9xx you're not wrong and I would have mentioned that not all bands in the genre revolve around gore lyrics but I was on mobile and didn't feel like typing that all out.
Dylan Fernandez i understand but bands like you said bolt thrower and death are good examples. They started out with the more gory lyrics and moved on and changed there sound to write more meaningful songs.
Thanks for the links to these bands I mean obituary is lit but thanks I’ve just got into metal like that so thanks
To add on with multiple eras...
Anata, Aborted, Arsis, OLD In Flames, Quo Vadis, Origin, Dying Fetus, Psycroptic, At the Gates
lol how can you record a 40 minute video about a 4 MINUTE SONG
Alex Webster should given more recognition from the world, he is one of the best bass players ever to exist, so underrated. Don't bother with the lyrics, its about the adrenaline really, no different from watching a scary movie. Gotta finish watching this now, I'm glad ya'll are covering this. Thanks.
Funny thing is the guys of the band are really nice. The current singer George "Corpsegrind" Fisher is a big guy with a huge neck, but is really nice and a World of Warcraft nerd. He carriers the laptop on tours so he can play it in hotel rooms. I would compare this to splatter movies like someone said below. Not as an actual message from the band. Not really huge fan of their music, but I have some kind of respect for them being old school death metal which probably many later band which some take themselves too seriously in my opinion have taken influences. Also the real life and stage personality contrast make things funny :)
"this song is all about shooting blood out of your cock." 😂😂😂
Gore lyrics are like a trope of old-school death metal more than anything else. Lyrics are gory and violent only because they were/are supposed to be like that to fit in the genre.
It is like watching a trash-horror-gore movie from the 90s, there will be seas of blood, dismemberments, guts everywhere and you are not supposed to take it seriously in the slightest.
Dobrozz I get the violent lyrics fit but maybe just put some more effort in. Death comes to mind as good lyrics
"I feel like breaking a window!" That, THAT, is what metal is all about.
Alex Webster is a fucking musical and lyrical genius!💀🤘💀🤘
I love to hear people who believe in an invisible man, criticizing others!
DANMM SON, I LIKE IT
That's a bold statement
Woke up early and was sad when i didn't see an upload. Now i got what i wanted plus it's Cannibal!
Also, Cannibal Corpse doesn't mean what they write, it's all shock value. I look at it as horror films in musical form
SuperUltraFunTime they usually upload at 11:00am EST and 7:00pm EST
The Underground Metal Elitist if you only car about lyrics. If you don't understand fine, get off your high horse and let metal be fun. They could wipe their ass with Cattle musically. You draw to much attention with poorly worded opinions like that.
Melkor Johnson I gotta disagree with you on the musical aspect. Cattle is much more technically skilled. I dislike both groups but at least cattle has a message behind it.
The Underground Metal Elitist you claim you don’t care what anyone thinks. But when you sit down with them face to face you are meek as a child; Cordial even. You are not as care free as you claim. Of course most of what you say is disingenuous anyway.
@The Underground Metal Elitist Oh come on, sometimes you do want a delicate carefully designed full meal and other times you just need a hamburger and it tastes awesome too. CC clearly belongs to the latter group. And if you take away the dumb lyrics they are far from garbage as far as musicianship is concerned too, they are masters at handling their instruments who can consistently write really good riffs and arrange them into good OSDM songs. I have hard time imagining anyone who is into oldschool extreme metal who, for example, can honestly claim this song is garbage. But then again opinions are like assholes...
It’s a love song guys c’mon. LOL
You literally reacted exactly as how this was supposed to be written: Shock Death Metal. What were you expecting?
Mitchell Williams just that. Useless garbage
Dirk Diggler maybe to you, but there’s a reason why they’re the most well known death metal bands in the world.
Mitchell Williams yes there is. Most people have a low standard for music.
Dirk Diggler actually Dirk, you need to be objective. You may not like the subject matter but the music here is stop notch. There is no low standard for music here. Some people just like the horror movie imagery. I have an issue with that (I think its silly and simplistic) and also the lyrics. I don't like ultra ultra low growls like this song has.
Dirk Diggler wow, I guess your word is god in the metal community then, huh? So then why did you allow these guys to get so big? Oh, wait, you’re just another guy that judges because you personally don’t like something. Kick rocks, guy.
Chris Barnes the original vocalist on this track who wrote the lyrics is the chillest guy ever. His lyrics ..... 🤷♂️ p.s she was into the music till he started singing 🤣
You guys have never seen Ace Ventura: Pet Detective??
I saw these guys live a few months back. They played at this one place in Helsinki in a decently sized hall, nothing amazing but not just a pub stage either. There were about 400 people there and once these guys got on stage, everyone went crazy. They played some of their new material, but the old classic songs were the ones that made everyone mosh and flail around, this song in particular made the crowd explode when they played it as the last song.
I find their songs to be just mindless fun, and the best way to experience that is at one of their live performances, in a crowded, hot and sweaty hall just moshing and headbanging along with hundreds of other people.
These guys have been touring longer than I've been alive and they still play with the same energy as years ago, and don't take themselves at all seriously. I had a chance to meet with some of the members after the performance, George (the singer) who is this overweight guy with super long hair and a neck wider than his head (seriously, look him up. He's been headbanging for a really, really long time) was very cheerful and happily interacted with the fans during and after the show.
I also had a long discussion with Alex Webster along with five other fans at a pub. He's the bass player, he even signed my notebook. We discussed politics, literature, religion and a bunch of other stuff, along with talking about music. He's a really nice, kind guy, and a brilliant musician.. Two of the fans that were discussing with him were christian, and we had a really cool, open discussion about a bunch of stuff with him.
Their performance overall was one of the most entertaining ones I've ever been to.
161: Epica - Consign to Oblivion (live at the Zenith)
Darkthrone transilvanian hunger please
tundra leech and quintessence to!
Skald au Satans Sol off that album.
@@jeffsimmons4822 that's my favourite riff
Quintessence would be hilarious
5:18 sums it up. 😂
She called him cookie monster!! 😂😂😂
As a metal fan AND catholic christian I can say that the criticism is not only silly but hypocritical in the first place. You can't call these lyrics 'immature' and over the top when the bible describes events of slavery, genocide, sexual abuse, incest and any combination of those 4 (and more). There are events in the bible that if they were made into a cannibal corpse song, you wouldn't doubt it for a second.
Love this song, love me some old school Cannibal and death metal. 😍 - Mickey
Big Cannibal Corpse fan here, but i dont think this should have been your first CC experience. I like chris on vocals but Corpsegrinder is so much better. If you ever give them another chance try these:
When death replaces life
Festering in the crypt
Scourge of iron
The spine splitter
Just to name a few ❤️
Scourge of iron is my favorite song but I think Chris is a better vocalist for aggression
If they checked out a recent live vid I think they would have appreciated the musical side I a lot more.
Fisher cant hold a candle to early Chris Barnes sorry
Barnes is better
Agree to disagree 😉
SEPTICFLESH🤘SEPTICFLESH🤘SEPTICFLESH
Portrait of a headless man (official video)
Anubis
Vampire from Nazareth
Prometheus
Martyr
Virtues of the beast
Sangreal
🤘PLEASE!🤘
Now there's some fine (symphonic) death metal!
The singer of this band has kids and loves Disney movies.
You have to understand that these guys are all HUGE horror movie fans. Mostly B movie types. The vocalist and bassist have both stated multiple times in interviews that the lyrics are all horror movie and also some real life stories, influenced and exploring the darkest and sadistic side of human nature. But through extreme music and lyrics rather than movies. None of them are bad or fucked up guys or really think about killing people. Lol. That's most of old school death metal. Songs based off of the real life shit people do to each other, or stuff from the horror genre. It's not meant to be deep or literal. We all have a dark side with aggression. This style is just a positive way to release it. It's a horror movie for your ears. Have fun with it
3:24 the look on Sori's face 😂😂
They both had that look of 'we're not in kansas anymore toto'
Vin youd like these guys on an instrumental basis, they are among the best in death metal... SUPER TECHNICAL and master players. This is only their 3rd album... a great album forsure, but after this, they went crazy with playing and technique. As for the lyrics, yup.... just strait up gore.

extreme music needs extreme lyrics
Edgardo Maulen sometimes. These lyrics have no purpose.
Dirk Diggler this is cannibal corpse, not Opeth
Eevil I how are these kind of lyrics entertaining?
Edgardo Maulen that’s a ridiculous comparison. Cattle decapitation has very shocking lyrics but they have a purpose and an underlying message. To be clear I despise the band and the content but we have to be logical here. Bands within this sub-genre are capable of writing better lyrics with meaning and purpose. This is useless and distasteful; and this is mild compared to others which is baffling in itself.
Eevil I ok I saw it
I've been reading the comments and alot of people are saying it's just a horror movie in music form, relax. But people relate to music on a much deeper level than to a movie, at least for me. There are songs that have validated my thoughts, set me free, and changed my life. These lyrics may be in all good fun, but you're gonna have that kid that listens to this and it validates his/her thoughts, sets them free, and changes their life. And if they are having these thoughts...
Very thorough and educating video. I myself am a believer, and I dabble in many versions of music, including heavy metal. As a matter of fact, at this time it's my genre of choice. The main takeaway with listening to secular music, biblically, is don't let it spiritually effect you or anyone else. This goes TV as well.
And if you say that the song was immature then you're pretty much considering the whole genre as immature, because "lyrically" all traditional death metal is the same. Now there is all kinds of different sub-genres of death metal, that sound like death metal but lyrically do not sing about death and violence. But to call it immature, you're really judging the whole genre and a lot of other similar bands.
It is immature though lol. Those lyrics are so ridiculous and stupid, that they look like they were written by a 14 year old kid. It's so stupid. The music is amazing, but the lyrics are just retarded. No substance at all. It's nothing but shock value. Pure stupidity. They wrote it thinking "huh huh, people are going to be sooo offended by this"...that's immature.
@@darkestfearspodcast Yup. Pretty much sums it up. I'm sure I thought the lyrics were cool or funny more than 20 years ago or more when I was about 14. Back when it was "funny" to tell all those "you know what's grosser than gross" jokes.
Ummm...to each his own but ...they themselves have said that they like bands like Behemoth. Not all death metal bands "sing" about the same things. Some people like some death metal bands and some like others. This song doesn't symbolize the whole genre either lyrically , vocally or otherwise.
Who does Vin refuse to listen to? Recently new to the channel, sorry.
He wont say. I'm super curious.
+1. I really wanna know who this is now!
probably Deicide
Maybe it's burzum for the whole 'killing euronymous' thing
Must of missed that one ..there is at least 5 months of this year i was away from YT
..the perils of a lobster fisherman off the S/W coast of Tasmania lol
I like how you guys go into deep conversation after listening to a song in a array of subjects. It's a intellectual personal and spiritual conversation often times and that's uniquely awesome regardless of views or opinions y'all express it's nice to hear ya'lls points. With that said... What about a Dope - Blood money reaction just for giggling shits lol
I think "Addiction" and "Bitch" would be interesting, too. Haha. I love Dope!
I have a funny Story about Cannibal Corpse. I've been a victim of violent crime and have a hard time going out on my own. When I would have to take the bus to and from work (or wherever i was headed that day) I would listen to Cannibal Corpse, as they were much more scary then the ideas I was projecting as to what could happen to me on the bus. I could control what I was listening to, thus I could control my level of fear and focus it on the songs knowing i could turn them off at any time, and that took away the fear of getting mugged and what not. Then I started to like a few songs, Ironically. Truth be told, I never understood a single lyric to any song.
Hahaha you guys reacted exactly like my mom did when I brought this album home when it came out 😂
Ahh, one of my favourite bands. Cannibal Corpse are basically a horror movie in music form...a very gory horror movie though :)
Sori's reaction is the whole point of the band.
Catching Cannibal Corpse live tomorrow! 🤘🏻
She lost me at the cookie monster reference. My best friend was just found in the woods of my neighborhood with his hands and head cut off and everyone in my neighborhood wants to see his head cut off in turn.
Nathan I’m so sorry to hear about ur friend. Damn. Prayer for u to find peace in all of that. ♥️ Much love Homie
@@VinAndSori I didn't mean any disrespect btw. I just get randomly triggered sometimes and have to apologize later. There's some real monsters in this world. The biggest challenge any good person will face in this life is remaining one.
With CC you have to understand their mindset when they write these songs. To them each of these songs is a horror movie in song format. The guys from CC are from Buffalo. Whenever they visit back here for a show they always set aide around 50-100 tix specifically for Veterans in the local area. If they aren't used the band sells the tix and the money is donated to the local VA. It was so much one time that the VA called their manager and asked if they would like a wing of the hospital named after them. They joked "the morgue"
Haha.. The looks on your faces 😂 priceless!.. Oh I Love Cannibal Corpse 🤘🏻🤘🏻... However please may l ask you two to review more AMON AMARTH it has been far too long now since your last reaction: Father of the Wolf, Death in Fire, One Thousand Burning Arrows, Blood Eagle, Thousand Years of Oppression, Under the Northern Star, On Northern Shores, Pursuit of Vikings, Raise Your Horns.
😉 UP THE IRONS 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I just know this is going to be interesting 😂 just like Sori i only like the beginning with the instruments. Better do Helloween Keeper of the seven keys instead 😉
YEESS! 🤘🏻🎃🤘🏻
Cannibal Corpse is a death metal band for people who don't take their death metal too seriously. This vocalist was Chris Barnes and their current vocalist George Fisher is a much better lyricist and vocalist. This band is not an analyze the lyrics and go deep down sort of band. This band is you wanna jam the fuck out to some brutal grooves and have a good time. It's like the equivalent of analyzing a slasher film, it's just fun to watch, just like it's fun to listen to.
George Fisher doesn't write lyrics. He stated this on the centuries of torment DVD. Also Chris Barnes was/is a far better vocalist than Fisher. Alex and the drummer write the lyrics and their not as good as Barnes.
I'm currently working to quit my caffeine addiction. It's a rough road, but as an Agnostic, I am thankful for your prayers. Thank you, and I love what you guys do!
Yesss!!! Cannibal corpse!
Reaction Request attempt #139 Chevelle - The Clincher
PS: Another week down, hope everyone has an awesome weekend!
Found ya
What's great about you two is that even though everyone is saying how pointless it is to dissect this song; we still get gems discussing the brain. Like when you bring up carving pathways in the brain thereby either creating a shortcut to irascibility or training oneself to self check their own behavior. Great stuff and I believe it to be true.
I'm a Christian but Deathmetal is my all time favorite music style and this has been my favorite band since I was a kid in the late 80s. I don't really care about lyrics in metal I just care about the sound and my faith had never once been affected or influenced negatively in all these decades. But I can understand that it's not for everyone. One of the reasons I can listen to it and not be affected is because I looked at the music as someone who was trying to be in the Deathmetal music business earlier in my life, so I looked at it objectively. Also as someone who has been a Deathmetal vocalist, I think that Deathmetal vocals are the absolute best vocal style there is. My lyrics were based on my faith and life but Chris Barnes (the vocalist on this album) was one of the biggest influences on me as a kid, style wise.
First time actually reading their lyrics. About as gory and anatomically detailed as I imagined it to be.
Like has been stated in other comments already, this is pure shock value, without any further substance (ha, sorry about the accidental pun), though some people, like myself, are morbid enough to appreciate the dedication to write as disgustingly violent lyrics as humanly possible. That being said, good on you for powering through regardless. You do great things for the Lord, keep up the good work, my brother and sister. Our family needs more people like you. Bless you.
"It's childish". What children do you hang around?
Hahaha very true 😄
Ah, the great Chris Barnes on vocals...
This is Jim Carrey's favorite band
@GhostShelter read the update in your link.
Just cause you don't like it its not art? Ridiculous.
Major props to Vin for separating his bias and judgment from the goals of the musicians. That is something very difficult to do. Cannibal Corpse is most definitely death metal, and many would say the godfathers of the genre, but condemning them for their lyrics is akin to John Carpenter for writing the script for Halloween instead of writing Ben-Hur. Haha, btw, I'm 110 days smoke-free. Hard as hell addiction to quit, some say tougher than heroin. I've been a smoker for 27 years.
Radiohead - Street Spirit
Fuck no!😂
Nicki Collis why?!
cuzzz itss not metallll lml yeahhhhhh its pussy music hahahahaha or something. I'd recommend Paranoid Android and Videotape.
