Death metal has never been one of my favorite genres. I listened to Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness back when it was first released and liked it, and Carcass' Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious is one of my favorite albums of any genre, but outside of that the only death metal band that I've listened to regularly is Nile. I own most of their albums but I'm not really sure why.
Back in 2009 I bought Cannibal Corpse's then new album, Evisceration Plague, mainly because it was Cannibal Corpse, legends in their own time. I thought it was good death metal. But since I didn't really care much for death metal... It was ok.
So in 2012 I started this blog, and was sitting at home thinking about what I should write about first. Never would have imagined it would be Cannibal Corpse, but I was sitting here at my computer with Torture playing on my stereo, and Jesus Christ this is good. Favorite tracks so far are Followed Home Then Killed and Sarcophagic Frenzy. Not sure how it compares with their older stuff but this album does a great job of mixing it up with super fast blast-beats and pounding, grinding grooves. That's what I like, this album has riffs that I can not only discern but actually remember. Great stuff, highly recommended.
