@@AnalCunt Butchered At Birth , and the Bleeding will always be the best. Bloodthirst was too short in duration. It was consistent, but the songs all sounded pretty similar. Dormant Bodies Bursting from Gore Obsessed is the best song with George. Gallery of Suicide, Devoured By Vermin, and Mummified In Barbed Wire were also great songs, but as albums Vile is messy , Gallery was too clean , the drums are too loud on Wretched Spawn, Kill and Skeletal Domain are the best sounding production wise , but still only have 2 or 3 decent songs. I don't prefer Barnes as a Vocalist, they both sound good, but the Barnes albums just had better albums. It's hard to listen to anything after the Bleeding without skipping tracks, mainly due to the loud over triggered drums, and the keyboard sounding guitars
I went on a giant Cannibal Corpse binge last year before Violence Unimagined came out. I feel like I like the Corpsegrinder era better than the Chris Barnes stuff (Eaten Back to Life and The Bleeding being the exceptions). They're just so consistent that you can't go wrong having them on shuffle.
Unleashing the Bloodthirsty remains my personal favorite song from them. That opening is always intense & fierce to listen to in my car at full max volume.
Also really love that song. It was one of my first songs by Cannibal Corpse I really got into and holds a lot of memories for me personally. Not my favorite anymore but still an amazing song!
Also side note- Scott Burns knows how to mix bass in his style of producing so well holy crap. Just listening to Sepultura's Arise and CC's Butchered at Birth like he mixed the bass to where it wasnt trying to take sonic space of the guitarist or drummer. It isnt trying to cut through the mix. It's just so comfortably there. As a bass player and someone who dabbles me hand in audio production, he may as well be my idol
Here is my top 5: 1: Kill (10/10) 2: Tomb Of The Mutilated (10/10) 3: The Bleeding (9.8/10) 4: Violence Unimagined (9.5/10) 5: Butchered at Birth (9.3/10)
Ah, finally, fellow Red Before Black enjoyer, thank you for giving this incredibly overlooked and undeservingly criticized album the respect it deserves. Great list and great video!
I feel like that record takes some time to warm up to. At first I felt a little disappointed, but after a few listens I started to like it more than Skeletal and Torture.
I won't lie, I'm not the world's biggest fan of death metal, but I'm really digging the stuff I've heard from Cannibal Corpse. Violence Unimagined in particular made my top 10 albums of 2021 list and was my pick for the best straightforward death metal album of 2021. Scourge of Iron from Torture is my favorite Cannibal Corpse song (as of now) I just adore that song, especially when they play it live. I'm actually thinking about diving into their discography and maybe I'll rank their records. Who knows, maybe Cannibal Corpse might change my mind about death metal, we'll see. Edit as of 12/1/22: I have completed my Cannibal Corpse discography listen, and I have my ranking ready to go. Be prepared for some hot takes: #15: Eaten Back to Life (1990) #14: Vile (1996) #13: Gore Obsessed (2002) #12: Red Before Black (2017) #11: Butchered at Birth (1991) #10: Gallery of Suicide (1998) #9: Kill (2006) #8: Violence Unimagined (2021) #7: Tomb of the Mutilated (1992) #6: Bloodthirst (1999) #5: Evisceration Plague (2009) #4: Torture (2012) #3: The Bleeding (1994) #2: The Wretched Spawn (2004) #1: A Skeletal Domain (2014) It was a truly fantastic experience listening to this band. A Skeletal Domain really grabbed my attention and was the record I had the most fun listening to (hence why it's at the top of my rankings). Also, these guys NEVER released a bad or mediocre at best record, so even the ones at the bottom are good records, it's just preferential reasons. I have two videos on my channel where I rank Cannibal Corpse's albums in more detail.
I’ve never thought Cannibal Corpse have had a bad album. Some, like Torture and Gallery Of Suicide get a little less listens from me but I never regret when I do hear them. I’ve always loved Eaten Back To Life. I’m biased but it was the first death metal album I owned. So I had nowhere to go but up from there. Tomb Of The Mutilated, The Bleeding, Evisceration Plague and A Skeletal Domain are some of my top Cannibal Corpse albums. Kill most certainly ranks as my favorite. Seeing them live during that era was so fun.
Dude, I breathe metal music everyday. I can't deal with the world without it. I've been a metalhead for 14 years and it's been getting me through all of my dark times.. awesome Death pfp. I wish they were still around.. r.i.p. to one of the best Death Metal albums imo.
My top three favorites are: 1. Kill. 2. A Skeletal Domain 3. The Wretched Spawn. Of course I love the older cannibal corpse albums but these have always been my favorites, and I feel like they get overlooked or not talked about enough.
Bolt Thrower also comes to mind when you mention a band that can release the same album over and over again without becoming boring. Though they were only active half as long.
Cannibal Corpse is easily one of the best bands I’ve seen live. So crisp and clear and heavy as hell. I also agree with the Skeletal Domain(the whole album) and Make Them Suffer takes. I wish they would have played Make Them Suffer live but Kill or Become is was just as great.
The Bleeding belongs in a cabinet where you need to go see the clerk for the key. The Bleeding Is Death Metals bottle of red wine. Return to Flesh, to me is premium Cannibal Corpse.
To be honest, I'm not the biggest Death Metal guy. Only have listened to like 4 or 5 Records. But something about CC just draws me back like every week.

weirdly enough. The Bleeding was where the issues of Chris Barnes weird "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" takes on vocals started at. Makes sense he was kicked out a year later and he continued screaming the squeling of the 5th letter of the alphabet with SFU and his later career
The only band to somehow not get stale after doing the same shtick for 3 decades. They're like the McDonalds of death metal. Haven't changed their menu that much since their inception, but I don't care because god damn sometimes I just need to stuff my face with a Big Mac or McNuggets.
I don’t like the comparison to McDonald's…. McD’s is highly processed poison, devoid of any nutritional value full of salt/fat/sugar that normies wolf down. Cannibal Corpse is savage Death Metal created by highly skilled musicians that is so far removed from mainstream tastes that most McDonald’s munching normies would find it highly indigestible. The music equivalent of McD’s would obviously be some brainless processed trash like Doja Cat.
I can honestly listen to any Cannibal Corpse album(both Chris Barnes and Corpsegrinder) but when Chris Barnes joined Six Feet Under he went downhill. Also great video!
Like many people Cannibal Corpse got me obsessed and addicted to Death Metal actually started the day off with flaging a C.C shirt now its Maiden but hay the world just carrys on spining great review man ; PS Happy Birthday man
1. Torture 2. Tomb of the Mutilated 3. Red Before Black 4. Violence Unimagined 5. Evisceration Plague 6. Kill 7. A Skeletal Domain 8. The Bleeding 9. Eaten Back To Life 10. Butchered At Birth 11. The Wretched Spawn 12. Bloodthirst 13. Gallery of Suicide 14. Vile 15. Gore Obsessed
I just recently saw Cannibal Corpse this past Friday in Vancouver with Dark Funeral, Immolation and Black Anvil! I got to meet two of the guys in Black Anvil and had them sign my copy of Regenesis! I also got to meet Ross from Immolation and it was his birthday, so I wished him a happy birthday.
"Make Them Suffer" was my first introduction to Cannibal Corpse back in 2006, in my early metalhead days. Great song. After thinking about it for less than 5 minutes, here is my tier list. S: Kill, The Bleeding, Bloodthirst, Gore Obsessed, A Skeletal Domain A: Evisceration Plague, Red Before Black, Tomb of the Mutilated B: Torture, Gallery of Suicide, Eaten Back to Life, Violence Unimagined C: Vile, The Wretched Spawn D: Butchered at Birth (sorry - could NEVER get into this one)
Wow, this would be a task to take on! Skull full of maggots is my favorite song. The bleeding probably my favorite album. Love Corpsegrinder as well! Cheers 🍻
Fantastic band. I really only dislike two albums from them: Vile and Eaten Back to Life, although I suppose they aren't horrible. Everything else is great to really bad ass. Kill, The Bleeding, Tomb of the Mutilated, Bloodthirst, The Wretched Spawn & A Skeletal Domain would be my favorites. Top notch death metal.
I've been waiting for this one, I have some pretty controversial opinions on this bands discog but they're one of my favorites so let's see what we agree and disagree on! Edit watching this video made me feel like giving my opinions on these records so here we go: Eaten back to life: I really like this one, a fast, thrash inspired death metal record that's really fun and brutal. It's not as memorable as the rest and is a bit dated but 3.5/5 Butchered at birth: A bit long and some songs drag a bit but damn this is a brutal, fantastic record. 4/5 Tomb of the mutilated: What a disgusting, horrifying and disturbing album still to this day, this thing goes so hard it's so heavy and brutal I love almost every second. Hell my only complain is that it goes a bit overboard at times (especially with Necropedophile, jesus christ that song is horrifying) 4.5/5 The bleeding: This is the one, this is easily my favorite cannibal corpse album, hell it's my favorite death metal album. They gave up a bit of the heaviness and it's a bit less disturbing but what they gave up in that they made up for in catchiness. These songs are so catchy, Stripped raped and strangled could never leave my head as a teenager, the lyrics are also extremely well written, it legit feels like you're listening to an actual serial killer growling these lyrics. 5/5, a metal masterpiece Vile: I really enjoy this one... Heavy, catchy, and brutal. 4/5 Gallery of suicide and Gore obsessed: Yeah I pretty much feel the same way about both of these so I'm putting them together, they're okay. I call the albums from 1998-2004 the "ugly years" cause I just cannot stand the art style of these album covers and the albums themselves aren't really that good either (except one which I'll get to). Yeah not much I can say, just 2.5/5 they're fine but not my faves Bloodthirst: This may be a part of the ugly years albums but don't let that fool you this is a solid album. It's heavy, brutal and fantastically enjoyable. 4/5 The wretched spawn: yeah no thank you. Not only does it have the worst album cover it's just so boring for me. I don't know why but I really struggled to finish this thing and I never wanna listen to it again... 1.5/5 Kill: Hell yeah, this thing is brutal, heavy and just all sorts of awesome. One of their best, 4/5 Evisceration plague: I really love the title track. That's about all I can remember lmao... I remember really liking it but I don't remember any other song so I guess 3.5/5 Torture: Same with this one. Some songs I like but I don't remember much: 3.5/5 A skeletal domain: Fuck yeah, I love this thing. From the weird distorted bass to the brutal sound this was just a joy to listen to. 4/5 Red before black: Good but not as memorable. 3.5/5 Violence unimagined: I spent a lot of time with this one last year, and for good reason caus this thing is heavy, catchy and all around amazing. So many amazing songs and all around it's probably my favorite modern Cannibal corpse record. 4.5/5 So yeah, I think some of these opinions are controversial but I hope everyone below can give me their opinions and we can have a conversation cause I love this band so much. Also thanks for hearting my comment Rob, luv ya
Great ranking/rating system here man. I did a ranking myself earlier this year and I almost kind of want to re-do it, there’s stuff on here I agree with it. Although Butchered was a hard listen production wise and other than great song writing the production I felt was horrible. Great job on this!
Nice! someone else who loves Skeletal Domain! Personally I think it's better than any other Corpsegrinder CC album, I might prefer Butchered at Birth though. And I also love Gore Obsessed, The Bleeding and Tomb of the Mutilated.
Cannibal is my favorite death metal band not only because they were my first, but because they are so consistently awesome. You could argue they get a little same-y, but they know what they're doing and they do a damn good job at it. My personal ranking is as follows: 1. Tomb of the Mutilated 2. Kill 3. Butchered at Birth 4. Vile 5. The Wretched Spawn 6. The Bleeding 7. Violence Unimagined 8. Evisceration Plague 9. Torture 10. Eaten Back to Life 11. Red Before Black 12. A Skeletal Domain 13. Gore Obsessed 14. Bloodthirst 15. Gallery of Suicide
Eaten 3/5 - good, but more thrashy than what I’m used to with CC Butchered 3.5/5 - would be a 4/5, bc there are tons of bangers, but the production is butt Tomb 4/5 - maybe a little overrated, but I still really enjoy most of it Bleeding 5/5 - my favorite CC album, tied with another. I love this thing. It’s like a more groovey hook filled death metal album Vile 3/5 - it’s good, but I think the corpsegrinder era gets much better Gallery 3.5/5 - love the doom style, but there are some songs I don’t really care for at all. Bloodthirst 4.5/5 - my 3rd fav of theirs. Brutal and heavy and awesome. So many bangers Gore Obsessed 3/5 - cc being cc, but a pretty decent version of that Wretched Spawn 4.5/5 - some of their fasted material! I love this thing. Awesome cover art as well Kill 4.5/5 - another just brutal and heavy album. So many bangers. Make Them Suffer might be my favorite cc song. Evisceration 3/5 - a lot of really cool songs, but also a decent amount of filler imo Torture 5/5 - this is my favorite after the bleeding. To me every song has something that makes it stand out. Scourge of Iron is possibly my favorite song of theirs Skeletal domain - 4/5 it’s great! Love all of the songs, I just don’t love it quite as much a torture Red before black 3/5 - good, but probably my least favorite, but because their are the least stand out tracks (there still are some tho) Violence unimagined 4.5/5 - such a good album. Way better than it had any right to be. Incredibly catchy and good Cc is one of my favorite bands. I’ve had a soft spot for them bc they were the band that got me into extreme music
If i really had to pick one, like a gun to the head, hostage situation kind of thing, i'd pick vile, the first time i heard to scream on devoured by vermin oh man still to this day it gives me goosebumps.
Listen to the Created To Kill EP which is all tracks off Vile, but with Barnes on vocals before he left. It's honestly WAY stronger than what would go on to become Vile.
@@yoiamhere4737 tough call but I’d have to go with Disarm the Descent. Jesses vocals aren’t his best but the guitar work is unreal. Songs like Beyond the Flames just blew my mind the first time I heard it. As Daylight Dies is my fav Howard album for sure. You?
@@yoiamhere4737 the self titled album is great, it’s maybe just not as memorable as the others. Anyone who straight up hates that album… they fuckin nuts lmao KSE as far as I’m concerned are incapable of making an outright “bad” album
Bloodthirst: What a beast! The Bleeding: So crisp and melodic, Barnes sounds brutal there. Butchered At Birth: NASTY in a good way. Kill: It just kills! Wretched Spawn: It was my first! I remember buying it and showed the back cover to my mom lol Tomb Of The Mutilated: STICKY and TASTY! Gallery Of Suicide: Classic but yeah, the mix is ass. Evisceration Plague: Sounds a lot like Kill but that's a great thing. Torture: More brutal than Evisceration, I think. Gore Obsessed: I didn't like its production but it has great songs. Vile: Slower but Barnes is a perfect replacement. Red Before Black: Good but not that memorable. A Skeletal Domain: Didn't move me idk why, maybe I should give it another try. Eaten Back To Life: Primitive as hell but it's fucking hellfire, I enjoy it more with some beers. All of them are good even my least favorite!
CC, one of the most brutal, violent, controversial and awesome bands out there. I Can’t think of a band that defines the sound, the look and controversial imagery of 90s Death Metal more than CC. Corpsegrinder easily one of my top 5 death metal vocalists. Alex Webster is one of the best bassists in Metal. And they have some of the greatest album covers ever S: Kill, Butchered at Birth, Torture, A Skeletal Domain A: The Wretched Spawn, Bloodthirst, The Bleeding, Violence Unimagined B: Gallery of Suicide, Evisceration Plague C: Tomb of the Mutilated, Red Before Black, Eaten back to Life D: Vile, Gore Obsessed 'Cause I'm T.N.T. I'm dynamite T.N.T. and I'll win the fight T.N.T. I'm a power load T.N.T. watch me explEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDEEEEE
Kill us the best Cannibal Corpse album EVER!! I really love Skeletal Domain, Red Before Black and Violence Unimagined. Those are my Top 4 Cannibal Corpse albums
My favorite Barnes performance are eaten back to life and the bleeding, both are more understandable, eaten back to life definitely has more power and feels genuinely enraged, the bleeding has a good low and more highs than butchered or tomb. Butchered and tomb both feel a bit monotonous in the vocal department, especially tomb cause the vocals are buried under the instruments in the mix and it gets old really fast, the vocal patterns that are all over the place.
As much as Chris Barnes sounds 100 times better than he does in Six feet under I still think George does those early songs alot more Justice when done live. I guess Chris was pretty influential on a ton of copycat vocalists who loved sesame Street so much they wanted to sound like the cookie monster though
More of a admirer of Cannibal Corpse but holy fuck, i hopedeath metal fans APPRECIATE this band! The consistency and commitment to their sound and their fans with as niche as it is, you have to know it doesn't put that much money on the table. True legends.
Great minds think alike. My favorite cannibal corpse album is a skeletal domaine. It honestly took me into double digits to like tomb of the mutilated. Not gonna lie. I like to somewhat understand what people say in their songs. As long as I hear words and not ooooooooogg raaaaaaah oooooog.
For a band all about brutality and murder, Cannibal Corpse is just so much fun to listen to. I've never gotten bored listening to one of their albums, whether its the early barnes era or the current corpsegrinder era. Relistened to eaten back to life for the first time in years the other day and it was WAAAAY better than i remembered. Not as good as Tomb of the Mutilated or The Bleeding, but i might honestly enjoy it more than Butchered at Birth. Unpopular opinion, i know.
I'll have a shot at rating each album. This is just off the top of my head so it doesn't exactly reflect what a ranking might be. - Eaten back to life 3/5 - Butchered at birth 4/5 - Tomb of the mutilated 2.5/5 (this one could grow on me) - The bleeding 2/5 - Vile 3/5 - Gallery of suicide 3.5/5 - Bloodthirst 4.5/5 - Gore obsessed 3/5 - Wretched spawn 4/5 - Kill 4.5/5 (either my favourite or 2nd favourite) - Eviseration plague 3/5 - Torture 4.5/5 (this is my favourite if Kill isnt) - Skeletal domain 4.5/5 - Red before black 3.5/5 - Violence unimagined 4/5
I was 12 when Tomb of the Mutilated was released....it was all down hill from there. Sickest most badass shit my ears could have imagined. 42 now and still loving this band.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (Sorry i had to)
@@themetalmeltdownofficial it is all the jokes aside, it is a shame of how deep of a downfall Chris Barnes had, dude pretty much became the joke of Death Metal. which kind of makes me wonder, would it be possible to make a detailed video of Chris Barnes downfall? simillar to those rise and fall videos being popular nowadays? i think it would be interesting, at least to me snyway
Have listened to six albums of theirs, so far from all. But i will say,i think the modern albums often sound the same. They seem to lack the rabid,framtic sound of the earlier ones ino. Am the alone here? I love a number of tracks over the last year don't get me wrong, but there's a cleanness to it that i question.
You woulda had a lot more fun doing this with Bloodbath albums lol. Some great performances and each album kinda has its own identity with the last 3 being a bit more related to each other
I agree with your list generally, Cannibal Corpse are very fun and consistent band. I don't care that much for The Bleeding, sadly, just think it's kinda bland and 2 albums before it are better, but I agree with you overall, especially on Kill and nice to see someone showing Skeletal Domain some love
That’s interesting, what do you thinks bland about the bleeding? For me, it’s my favorite album by them atm, I mostly like how groovy some of the tracks are. What I didn’t like were Barnes higher screams, kinda sounded like a foreshadowing of how his vocals are now lmao
@@trentonmcintyre5617 Barnes highs here is basically what kills the album for me. And musically I also don't find it as fun as Tomb of the Mutilated (not even gonna compare it to Corpsegrinder's albums)
Great video man, here's my album rankings, a couple spicy takes in here. 15. Butchered at Birth 14. Eaten Back To Life 13. Vile 12. The Bleeding 11. Evisceration Plague 10. Tomb of the Mutilated 9. Red Before Black 8. A Skeletal Domian 7. The Wretched Spawn 6. Violence Unimagined 5. Gallery of Suicide 4. Kill 3. Torture 2. Gore Obsessed 1. Bloodthirst
Would calling CC the Metallica of death metal be accurate you think? Most successful and iconic dm band for sure. Also, I really want to see the review videos for A7X and Gojira a lot if you still plan on doing them! 🙂🤘
In terms of popularity maybe, but Cannibal Corpse isn't known for the huge changes in style between albums that Metallica likes doing. If we're comparing them to a Thrash band I'd say maybe Exodus? It's not mindblowing shit but it's consistent quality
So in a nutshell Cannibal Corpse haven't released a bad album!
Honestly, yeah. A dud by their standards is still pretty decent.
Personally never liked bloodthirst. everything else is alright to amazing
@@AnalCunt wait what??? It is one of their best imo......lol
@@thepredator666qc4 yeah, i had a friend who had it as their #1 people, its one of those albums you really love or really hate. good on ya man

3: The Bleeding (9.8/10)
4: Violence Unimagined (9.5/10)

Gotta love the fact that Ace Ventura put a lot of people onto Cannibal Corpse
Ah, finally, fellow Red Before Black enjoyer, thank you for giving this incredibly overlooked and undeservingly criticized album the respect it deserves. Great list and great video!
I feel like that record takes some time to warm up to. At first I felt a little disappointed, but after a few listens I started to like it more than Skeletal and Torture.
That's probably my favorite CC album. They are kicking ass, Violence Unimagined is a solid release, no slowing down.
Actually my first dip into the CC Pool and it was a great one to start with I was hooked and on board the second Code Of The Slashers started
I won't lie, I'm not the world's biggest fan of death metal, but I'm really digging the stuff I've heard from Cannibal Corpse. Violence Unimagined in particular made my top 10 albums of 2021 list and was my pick for the best straightforward death metal album of 2021.

Edit as of 12/1/22: I have completed my Cannibal Corpse discography listen, and I have my ranking ready to go. Be prepared for some hot takes:

It was a truly fantastic experience listening to this band. A Skeletal Domain really grabbed my attention and was the record I had the most fun listening to (hence why it's at the top of my rankings). Also, these guys NEVER released a bad or mediocre at best record, so even the ones at the bottom are good records, it's just preferential reasons. I have two videos on my channel where I rank Cannibal Corpse's albums in more detail.

I’ve always loved Eaten Back To Life. I’m biased but it was the first death metal album I owned. So I had nowhere to go but up from there.
Tomb Of The Mutilated, The Bleeding, Evisceration Plague and A Skeletal Domain are some of my top Cannibal Corpse albums.
Kill most certainly ranks as my favorite. Seeing them live during that era was so fun.
I have hardly listened to metal music in months but i absolutely NEED to watch this
Dude, I breathe metal music everyday. I can't deal with the world without it. I've been a metalhead for 14 years and it's been getting me through all of my dark times.. awesome Death pfp. I wish they were still around.. r.i.p. to one of the best Death Metal albums imo.
Today's subject falls in line perfectly for Thanksgiving:
- consistent
- scrumptious
- a good time for the whole family
1 - Bloodthirst
2 - The Bleeding
3 - Kill
4 - Tomb
5 - A Skeletal Domain
6- Violence Unimagined
My top three favorites are:
1. Kill.
2. A Skeletal Domain
3. The Wretched Spawn.
Of course I love the older cannibal corpse albums but these have always been my favorites, and I feel like they get overlooked or not talked about enough.
Bolt Thrower also comes to mind when you mention a band that can release the same album over and over again without becoming boring. Though they were only active half as long.
Probably stronger albums to. I dont think theres a corpse album I like as much as those once loyal or the ivth crusade.
Cannibal Corpse destroys Boltthrower.
@@bumface1810 nah. I love both bands tho
Bolt Thrower are OK, for plodding DM. CC OBLITERATES them. Your ears must nor work properly.
@@bumface1810 it's called a opinion. And I'm not worried about yours LOL. Just mine kid. enjoy
Just a fucking great video man keep smashing the videos you have a new sub!!
Cannibal Corpse is easily one of the best bands I’ve seen live. So crisp and clear and heavy as hell. I also agree with the Skeletal Domain(the whole album) and Make Them Suffer takes. I wish they would have played Make Them Suffer live but Kill or Become is was just as great.
The Bleeding belongs in a cabinet where you need to go see the clerk for the key. The Bleeding Is
Death Metals bottle of red wine.
Return to Flesh, to me is premium Cannibal Corpse.
To be honest, I'm not the biggest Death Metal guy. Only have listened to like 4 or 5 Records.
But something about CC just draws me back like every week.
But more that I love the music, I love to watch Videos of them, like this one or just interviews with this Cookie Monster Teddy that we call Corpsegrinder.
Anyways always love your videos, hope you do this for years to come.
Oh and my little list:
1.Violence Unimagined
2.Chaos Horrific
I have the same top two as you, Kill and Skeletal Domain are just fucking awesome!!
weirdly enough. The Bleeding was where the issues of Chris Barnes weird "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" takes on vocals started at. Makes sense he was kicked out a year later and he continued screaming the squeling of the 5th letter of the alphabet with SFU and his later career
The only band to somehow not get stale after doing the same shtick for 3 decades. They're like the McDonalds of death metal. Haven't changed their menu that much since their inception, but I don't care because god damn sometimes I just need to stuff my face with a Big Mac or McNuggets.
And just like McDonalds, Cannibal Corpse really hits the spot at 2 am after a lot of beer.
I don’t like the comparison to McDonald's…. McD’s is highly processed poison, devoid of any nutritional value full of salt/fat/sugar that normies wolf down.
Cannibal Corpse is savage Death Metal created by highly skilled musicians that is so far removed from mainstream tastes that most McDonald’s munching normies would find it highly indigestible.
The music equivalent of McD’s would obviously be some brainless processed trash like Doja Cat.
I can honestly listen to any Cannibal Corpse album(both Chris Barnes and Corpsegrinder) but when Chris Barnes joined Six Feet Under he went downhill. Also great video!
I don't think anybody (with at least half a brain at least) will disagree with that lmao, Six Feet Under is a joke.
Like many people Cannibal Corpse got me obsessed and addicted to Death Metal actually started the day off with flaging a C.C shirt now its Maiden but hay the world just carrys on spining great review man ; PS Happy Birthday man

I just recently saw Cannibal Corpse this past Friday in Vancouver with Dark Funeral, Immolation and Black Anvil! I got to meet two of the guys in Black Anvil and had them sign my copy of Regenesis! I also got to meet Ross from Immolation and it was his birthday, so I wished him a happy birthday.
Mmmmm a tasty video for a tasty day! Also happy belated birthday!
WHAT!!!! Already know this will be a good review before watching this 😉 I like the older albums and Violence Unimagined. Cheers Brother!
Would love to see an episode about your comic/book collection.
Great video.
Maybe sometime, though there's not much to dig through here. Mostly just cookbooks, some graphic novels, manga. Nerd shit lmao.
Bloodthirst will always be my favourite CC album followed by Evisceration Plague then Kill
"Make Them Suffer" was my first introduction to Cannibal Corpse back in 2006, in my early metalhead days. Great song.
After thinking about it for less than 5 minutes, here is my tier list.
S: Kill, The Bleeding, Bloodthirst, Gore Obsessed, A Skeletal Domain
A: Evisceration Plague, Red Before Black, Tomb of the Mutilated
B: Torture, Gallery of Suicide, Eaten Back to Life, Violence Unimagined
C: Vile, The Wretched Spawn
D: Butchered at Birth (sorry - could NEVER get into this one)
S tier is spot on!
Wow, this would be a task to take on!
Skull full of maggots is my favorite song. The bleeding probably my favorite album. Love Corpsegrinder as well! Cheers 🍻
Fantastic band. I really only dislike two albums from them: Vile and Eaten Back to Life, although I suppose they aren't horrible. Everything else is great to really bad ass. Kill, The Bleeding, Tomb of the Mutilated, Bloodthirst, The Wretched Spawn & A Skeletal Domain would be my favorites. Top notch death metal.
The Wretched Spawn is fantastic! I love it too
I've been waiting for this one, I have some pretty controversial opinions on this bands discog but they're one of my favorites so let's see what we agree and disagree on!
Edit watching this video made me feel like giving my opinions on these records so here we go:
Eaten back to life: I really like this one, a fast, thrash inspired death metal record that's really fun and brutal. It's not as memorable as the rest and is a bit dated but 3.5/5
Butchered at birth: A bit long and some songs drag a bit but damn this is a brutal, fantastic record. 4/5
Tomb of the mutilated: What a disgusting, horrifying and disturbing album still to this day, this thing goes so hard it's so heavy and brutal I love almost every second. Hell my only complain is that it goes a bit overboard at times (especially with Necropedophile, jesus christ that song is horrifying) 4.5/5
The bleeding: This is the one, this is easily my favorite cannibal corpse album, hell it's my favorite death metal album. They gave up a bit of the heaviness and it's a bit less disturbing but what they gave up in that they made up for in catchiness. These songs are so catchy, Stripped raped and strangled could never leave my head as a teenager, the lyrics are also extremely well written, it legit feels like you're listening to an actual serial killer growling these lyrics. 5/5, a metal masterpiece
Vile: I really enjoy this one... Heavy, catchy, and brutal. 4/5
Gallery of suicide and Gore obsessed: Yeah I pretty much feel the same way about both of these so I'm putting them together, they're okay. I call the albums from 1998-2004 the "ugly years" cause I just cannot stand the art style of these album covers and the albums themselves aren't really that good either (except one which I'll get to). Yeah not much I can say, just 2.5/5 they're fine but not my faves
Bloodthirst: This may be a part of the ugly years albums but don't let that fool you this is a solid album. It's heavy, brutal and fantastically enjoyable. 4/5
The wretched spawn: yeah no thank you. Not only does it have the worst album cover it's just so boring for me. I don't know why but I really struggled to finish this thing and I never wanna listen to it again... 1.5/5
Kill: Hell yeah, this thing is brutal, heavy and just all sorts of awesome. One of their best, 4/5
Evisceration plague: I really love the title track. That's about all I can remember lmao... I remember really liking it but I don't remember any other song so I guess 3.5/5
Torture: Same with this one. Some songs I like but I don't remember much: 3.5/5
A skeletal domain: Fuck yeah, I love this thing. From the weird distorted bass to the brutal sound this was just a joy to listen to. 4/5
Red before black: Good but not as memorable. 3.5/5
Violence unimagined: I spent a lot of time with this one last year, and for good reason caus this thing is heavy, catchy and all around amazing. So many amazing songs and all around it's probably my favorite modern Cannibal corpse record. 4.5/5
So yeah, I think some of these opinions are controversial but I hope everyone below can give me their opinions and we can have a conversation cause I love this band so much. Also thanks for hearting my comment Rob, luv ya
I have some controversial opinions also.
Oh man. I love The Wretched Spawn. One of their fastest and most aggressive records
I disagree on Red Before Black but I will agree it can get lost in the weeds of their modern releases
Great ranking/rating system here man. I did a ranking myself earlier this year and I almost kind of want to re-do it, there’s stuff on here I agree with it. Although Butchered was a hard listen production wise and other than great song writing the production I felt was horrible. Great job on this!
Nice shirt and nice channel. Love this place
Nice! someone else who loves Skeletal Domain! Personally I think it's better than any other Corpsegrinder CC album, I might prefer Butchered at Birth though. And I also love Gore Obsessed, The Bleeding and Tomb of the Mutilated.
Cannibal is my favorite death metal band not only because they were my first, but because they are so consistently awesome. You could argue they get a little same-y, but they know what they're doing and they do a damn good job at it. My personal ranking is as follows:
1. Tomb of the Mutilated
2. Kill
3. Butchered at Birth
4. Vile
5. The Wretched Spawn
6. The Bleeding
7. Violence Unimagined
8. Evisceration Plague
9. Torture
10. Eaten Back to Life
11. Red Before Black
12. A Skeletal Domain
13. Gore Obsessed
14. Bloodthirst
15. Gallery of Suicide
Eaten 3/5 - good, but more thrashy than what I’m used to with CC
Butchered 3.5/5 - would be a 4/5, bc there are tons of bangers, but the production is butt
Tomb 4/5 - maybe a little overrated, but I still really enjoy most of it
Bleeding 5/5 - my favorite CC album, tied with another. I love this thing. It’s like a more groovey hook filled death metal album
Vile 3/5 - it’s good, but I think the corpsegrinder era gets much better
Gallery 3.5/5 - love the doom style, but there are some songs I don’t really care for at all.
Bloodthirst 4.5/5 - my 3rd fav of theirs. Brutal and heavy and awesome. So many bangers
Gore Obsessed 3/5 - cc being cc, but a pretty decent version of that
Wretched Spawn 4.5/5 - some of their fasted material! I love this thing. Awesome cover art as well
Kill 4.5/5 - another just brutal and heavy album. So many bangers. Make Them Suffer might be my favorite cc song.
Evisceration 3/5 - a lot of really cool songs, but also a decent amount of filler imo
Torture 5/5 - this is my favorite after the bleeding. To me every song has something that makes it stand out. Scourge of Iron is possibly my favorite song of theirs
Skeletal domain - 4/5 it’s great! Love all of the songs, I just don’t love it quite as much a torture
Red before black 3/5 - good, but probably my least favorite, but because their are the least stand out tracks (there still are some tho)
Violence unimagined 4.5/5 - such a good album. Way better than it had any right to be. Incredibly catchy and good
Cc is one of my favorite bands. I’ve had a soft spot for them bc they were the band that got me into extreme music
Saw Cannibal Corpse live 3 times & met Corpsegrinder twice. Both shows sold out and still the best concerts I’ve been in
Tomb of the mutilated is my favourite fucking album
If i really had to pick one, like a gun to the head, hostage situation kind of thing, i'd pick vile, the first time i heard to scream on devoured by vermin oh man still to this day it gives me goosebumps.
That do be a good song
Listen to the Created To Kill EP which is all tracks off Vile, but with Barnes on vocals before he left. It's honestly WAY stronger than what would go on to become Vile.
The bleeding came out the day I was born 🤘
Great video as always sir! Would love to see a review of every Killswitch Engage album, they’re my favourite band 🤓 cheers bud 🍻
Which KE album is your favorite?
Maybe some day bud.
@@yoiamhere4737 tough call but I’d have to go with Disarm the Descent. Jesses vocals aren’t his best but the guitar work is unreal. Songs like Beyond the Flames just blew my mind the first time I heard it. As Daylight Dies is my fav Howard album for sure. You?
@@PerfectCell9 As Daylight Dies is my favorite too! I honestly really dig the 2009 self titled as well I feel like that one's a bit overhated
@@yoiamhere4737 the self titled album is great, it’s maybe just not as memorable as the others. Anyone who straight up hates that album… they fuckin nuts lmao KSE as far as I’m concerned are incapable of making an outright “bad” album
Bloodthirst: What a beast!
The Bleeding: So crisp and melodic, Barnes sounds brutal there.
Butchered At Birth: NASTY in a good way.
Kill: It just kills!
Wretched Spawn: It was my first! I remember buying it and showed the back cover to my mom lol
Tomb Of The Mutilated: STICKY and TASTY!
Gallery Of Suicide: Classic but yeah, the mix is ass.
Evisceration Plague: Sounds a lot like Kill but that's a great thing.
Torture: More brutal than Evisceration, I think.
Gore Obsessed: I didn't like its production but it has great songs.
Vile: Slower but Barnes is a perfect replacement.
Red Before Black: Good but not that memorable.
A Skeletal Domain: Didn't move me idk why, maybe I should give it another try.
Eaten Back To Life: Primitive as hell but it's fucking hellfire, I enjoy it more with some beers.
All of them are good even my least favorite!
CC, one of the most brutal, violent, controversial and awesome bands out there. I Can’t think of a band that defines the sound, the look and controversial imagery of 90s Death Metal more than CC. Corpsegrinder easily one of my top 5 death metal vocalists. Alex Webster is one of the best bassists in Metal. And they have some of the greatest album covers ever
S: Kill, Butchered at Birth, Torture, A Skeletal Domain
A: The Wretched Spawn, Bloodthirst, The Bleeding, Violence Unimagined
B: Gallery of Suicide, Evisceration Plague
C: Tomb of the Mutilated, Red Before Black, Eaten back to Life
D: Vile, Gore Obsessed
'Cause I'm T.N.T. I'm dynamite
T.N.T. and I'll win the fight
T.N.T. I'm a power load
T.N.T. watch me explEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDEEEEE
Bloodthirst is #1 to me. Never a "bad" album.
Shatter their bones and Necropedophile are tied at number one for my favorite song
Kill us the best Cannibal Corpse album EVER!! I really love Skeletal Domain, Red Before Black and Violence Unimagined. Those are my Top 4 Cannibal Corpse albums
I'm just getting into this band! Love them
Top 5: Kill, The Bleeding, Bloodthirst, Tomb of the Mutilated, Violence Unimagined
Least favorite: The Wretched Spawn(I'd still rate it like 3.5/5)
Will you still do the other 2 bands? We need that Gojira video, and I'm curious about your opinion on A7X
Eventually, yes. Still a lot of demand for those two, and I'm still interested in making those videos.
My favorite Barnes performance are eaten back to life and the bleeding, both are more understandable, eaten back to life definitely has more power and feels genuinely enraged, the bleeding has a good low and more highs than butchered or tomb. Butchered and tomb both feel a bit monotonous in the vocal department, especially tomb cause the vocals are buried under the instruments in the mix and it gets old really fast, the vocal patterns that are all over the place.
Wish they would release an album with the guitars tuned a 1/2 step down like the early albums.🤘🏻
As much as Chris Barnes sounds 100 times better than he does in Six feet under I still think George does those early songs alot more Justice when done live. I guess Chris was pretty influential on a ton of copycat vocalists who loved sesame Street so much they wanted to sound like the cookie monster though
Worm Infested(2003)?
More of a admirer of Cannibal Corpse but holy fuck, i hopedeath metal fans APPRECIATE this band! The consistency and commitment to their sound and their fans with as niche as it is, you have to know it doesn't put that much money on the table. True legends.
I agree, 1999 album is insane brutal stuff.
Great minds think alike. My favorite cannibal corpse album is a skeletal domaine. It honestly took me into double digits to like tomb of the mutilated. Not gonna lie. I like to somewhat understand what people say in their songs. As long as I hear words and not ooooooooogg raaaaaaah oooooog.
Definitely prefer their more modern stuff, my top 3 being Torture, Violence unimagined and Skeletal domain.
Torture is and always will be my favorite. An absolute masterpiece of death metal
For a band all about brutality and murder, Cannibal Corpse is just so much fun to listen to. I've never gotten bored listening to one of their albums, whether its the early barnes era or the current corpsegrinder era. Relistened to eaten back to life for the first time in years the other day and it was WAAAAY better than i remembered. Not as good as Tomb of the Mutilated or The Bleeding, but i might honestly enjoy it more than Butchered at Birth. Unpopular opinion, i know.
Red Before Black is underrated af. Shedding My Human Skin is such a fuckin ripper of a track! CC is the most consistent band in dm.
Cannot follow you on the Vile dogging. That album is good and has "devoured by vermin" a God damn Death Metal anthem.
OK, crucify me: I prefer George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher over Chris Barnes. He was the perfect replacement for Barnes.
Man spittin facts, no need for a crucifixtion.
Thomas, I love your hair!
Literally just saw them at the Wiltern two nights ago and it was fuckin great. Perfect timing lol
To me the bleeding is the best CC album
idc what anybody says about it, Kill is perfect 🔥💯🔥💯
I'll have a shot at rating each album. This is just off the top of my head so it doesn't exactly reflect what a ranking might be.
- Eaten back to life 3/5
- Butchered at birth 4/5
- Tomb of the mutilated 2.5/5 (this one could grow on me)
- The bleeding 2/5
- Vile 3/5
- Gallery of suicide 3.5/5
- Bloodthirst 4.5/5
- Gore obsessed 3/5
- Wretched spawn 4/5
- Kill 4.5/5 (either my favourite or 2nd favourite)
- Eviseration plague 3/5
- Torture 4.5/5 (this is my favourite if Kill isnt)
- Skeletal domain 4.5/5
- Red before black 3.5/5
- Violence unimagined 4/5
Corpsegrinder actually wrote a lyric on Gallery.
Not one CC album gets 5/5?!!
WTF
I give at least 5 CC albums a perfect 10/10. But then, they are my fav band.
Butchered is my fav. Is so raw and brutal
1. Mutilated
2. Butchered
3. Bleeding
4. Wretched
5. Kill
Eaten Back to Life is my favorite from the Chris Barnes era and it's one of my favorites in general.
I was 12 when Tomb of the Mutilated was released....it was all down hill from there. Sickest most badass shit my ears could have imagined. 42 now and still loving this band.
Also to be fair, Jim Morris produced Symbolic and some other fantastic sounding albums
He does that, to be fair.
Aaah a fellow Skeletal domain enjoyer. It's my go to Cannibal corpse album.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
(Sorry i had to)
Chris Barnes's most inspiring lyric for sure.
@@themetalmeltdownofficial it is
all the jokes aside, it is a shame of how deep of a downfall Chris Barnes had, dude pretty much became the joke of Death Metal. which kind of makes me wonder, would it be possible to make a detailed video of Chris Barnes downfall? simillar to those rise and fall videos being popular nowadays? i think it would be interesting, at least to me snyway
Ah…
Back to the time where Chris Barnes wasn’t a joke.
19:02 Correction, March 26th 2006, not October 21, 2009
I do like Cannibal Corpse I heard of some of their albums my favorite song is called Hammer smashed face skull full of maggots
So glad I come across this video ahahah
Bloodthirst is my favorite overall. Love the singles on Kill and the groove of Torture.
I wonder if he'll make an opinion on the new album they put out
I need to listen to kill now lol. People are praising it so much
My favorite Cannibal corpse album is bloothirst. Red before black is also really good 👍
Torture deserves better than a 3.5...it's such a catchy and powerful album, possibly my favorite. Vile deserved better too.
I totally agree with every single review.
Have listened to six albums of theirs, so far from all. But i will say,i think the modern albums often sound the same. They seem to lack the rabid,framtic sound of the earlier ones ino.
Am the alone here? I love a number of tracks over the last year don't get me wrong, but there's a cleanness to it that i question.
You woulda had a lot more fun doing this with Bloodbath albums lol. Some great performances and each album kinda has its own identity with the last 3 being a bit more related to each other
I always felt the lack of high screams in Red before black was a reason for it to sound lacking
I agree with your list generally, Cannibal Corpse are very fun and consistent band. I don't care that much for The Bleeding, sadly, just think it's kinda bland and 2 albums before it are better, but I agree with you overall, especially on Kill and nice to see someone showing Skeletal Domain some love
That’s interesting, what do you thinks bland about the bleeding? For me, it’s my favorite album by them atm, I mostly like how groovy some of the tracks are. What I didn’t like were Barnes higher screams, kinda sounded like a foreshadowing of how his vocals are now lmao
@@trentonmcintyre5617 Barnes highs here is basically what kills the album for me. And musically I also don't find it as fun as Tomb of the Mutilated (not even gonna compare it to Corpsegrinder's albums)
I'm with you on The bleeding because i sure didnt like it much.
The bleeding is a masterpiece.
Great video man, here's my album rankings, a couple spicy takes in here.

9:09 I think you meant to say "fortunately".
Would calling CC the Metallica of death metal be accurate you think? Most successful and iconic dm band for sure. Also, I really want to see the review videos for A7X and Gojira a lot if you still plan on doing them! 🙂🤘
Honestly? Maybe. In terms of sheer popularity and instant recognition at least.
CC is more consistent in quality in comparison. If anything they're better in some ways. I think this is still accurate.
In terms of popularity maybe, but Cannibal Corpse isn't known for the huge changes in style between albums that Metallica likes doing. If we're comparing them to a Thrash band I'd say maybe Exodus? It's not mindblowing shit but it's consistent quality
Do Napalm Death next. They have had a lot of changes to style and sound but still slay.
I already did bud, last year. Check it out!
Good morning ❤
