Cannibal Corpse - Evisceration Plague (2009)

Evisceration Plague, the most recent effort from influential Brutal Death Metal stalwarts Cannibal Corpse, is exactly what one would expect from the band:  brutal riffs, speedy blast beats, and, of course, great growls from George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher.  There is also great guitar work from Pat O'Brian and Rob Barret and bass work from Alex Webster, although his basslines are often lost in the mix.  Besides the low bass mix, Eric Rutan produced the album quite well and sounds better than their previous album, Kill.  In fact, the album is just as strong -- if not stronger -- than Kill, and it grabs your throat and holds you to the very end.  Cannibal Corpse has succeeded in releasing another stellar album that fans of the band will love as another true Cannibal Corpse record.

Listen to: "Scalding Hail," "Carnivorous Swarm," "Evisceration Plague,"Skewered from Ear to Eye"

Meh: "A Cauldron of Hate"
