Rating: If I have to say what my first Brutal Death metal album was, I'd say it is definitely this one: "Evisceration Plague". Before listening to this album, I did some research online to learn more about the band in question, namely Cannibal Corpse. I listened to a few songs, but they didn't particularly catch my attention, because I couldn't digest them due to their brutality and heaviness. So, I waited a bit before listening to the album. One day, not knowing what to do, I wanted to listen to something heavy, but not the old classics of extreme metal again: "Reign in Blood", "Seven Churches", "Scream Bloody Gore"... but something new, and that's how I came across this "Evisceration Plague", the band's eleventh studio album.
The first impact I had was nothing short of devastating: the guitar riffs that open the album with "Priests of Sodom" are the heaviest and most violent I've heard (so far), the solos are fast and sharp as razors (the title track, "To Decompose", "Carrion Sculpted Entity"), and some are massive and heavy like punches straight to the stomach ("A Cauldron of Hate", "Carnivorous Swarm"). And I've never heard drums played so fast, like they were shot at 1000 Km/h in my life.
The only flaw this album has is that there are some "fillers" that pad the album, and they are: "Beheading and Burning", "Unnatural", "Skewered from Ear to Ear"; without these, it would have been an excellent album.
Overall, this "Evisceration Plague" is a good album that can appeal to true fans of extreme metal, but if you're looking for a more "clean" and technical metal, this is not for you.
Tracklist Lyrics and Videos
08 Evisceration Plague (04:30)
Experimental pathogens, a devil's design
The dark side of science breeds a weapon of war
Contagious killing and internal distress
Homicide or suicide will be the cause of death
Internal organs altered by the disease
Your brain disabled by the constant pain
Erratic actions lead my thoughts to the blade
I've lost control, I've lost control
Beg for your life, you won't escape the knife
Your fate was sealed today
Disease has spread, you pray for death
Evisceration plague
Stabbing compulsion overwhelms my mind
Terrorized screaming follows the thrust of my knife
I wrench the blade from the chest to the crotch
Organs and entrails fall to the ground
Beg for your life, you won't escape the knife
Your fate was sealed today
Disease has spread, you pray for death
Evisceration plague
Driven to kill, this is not my will
I am compelled to slay
Invisible foe takes control
Evisceration plague
Unable to be seen but with visible effect
Virulent disease causing outbreaks of violence
They tear themselves apart, offal covers the ground
Viscera torn forcefully from the abdomen
Intestines slick with blood cannot escape my grip
Surgical incisions give way to frenzied carving
Delirium has taken hold, disembowelment is complete
Horror grips my mind, my entrails are in my hands
My entrails are in my hands
My entrails are in my hands...
Plague leads to death
Plague leads to death
Plague leads to death
Plague leads to death
[Solo - O'Brien]
Disease will spread and cover the world
Mass insanity, the end of our time
Scavengers will eat the remains of man
Our extinction was by our design
Beg for your life, you won't escape the knife
Your fate was sealed today
Disease has spread, you pray for death
Evisceration plague
Driven to kill, this is not my will
I am compelled to slay
Invisible foe takes control
Evisceration plague
