Cannibal Corpse
Evisceration Plague

THE REVIEW

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.
