Check it out. This is my favorite Cannibal Corpse cd, and the cd that started it all for me. You will not be disappointed.


Gore Obsessed
For those who like brutal death metal should give it a try! This is not their best, but it has solid songs and musicanship is top notch as usual. This is good death metal album as usual, by those guys. Standout tracks are gloomy When Death Replaces Life with creative harmonies and brutal slow section! Amother obvious standouts are opening Hatchet To the Head. This one has cool brutal riffs and perfect vokills. "Pit of Zombies" has avesome catchy feel to it and nice guitar solo.
"Dormant Bodies Burtsting" has amazing riffs and scary atmosphere as well!
Overall, a bit weaker then their 2006 "Kill" BUT GOOD! .


INCREDIBLE
I just picked up my second CC album, "GORE OBSESSED", on CD today. I bought CC's "VILE" on cassette tape a year or two ago, and still listen to it over and over in my car to this day. It had a black cardboard slipcase covering up the front artwork, for good reason. If any little kid saw this album sitting on the shelf, it would scar his mind. Whoever does the artwork for this band is extremely talented. Musically, this album is INCREDIBLE and JAW DROPPING. The riffs, basslines, drums, and lyrics stick in my head. They are brutal, in-your-face, and memorable. All of the members in this band are extremely talented. I can't wait for their next CD. I heared it's going to be called "Kill".


An acquired taste.
I primarily listen to classic and progressive rock and classical music like 19th century opera. Ok, for starters, I should state that I am not a death metal fanatic. So obviously I am an unlikely person to be giving this a positive review. However I am also a fan of Horror movies, and that is why I got into cannibal corpse. I tried unsuccessfully to enjoy their music several years ago. I loved the concept of the band, their cover art, their disgusting lyrics, so I purchased a copy of Butchered at Birth, and frankly I couldn't stand it. It wasn't the music, I enjoy some thrash metal (Slayer is a particular favorite of mine), I just couldn't like Chris Barne's voice, it pissed me off. I gave away my copy and felt pissed that I had wasted my money. So now, six years later, my curiosity had risen and I decided to get another album, this time Gore Obsessed, featuring Corpsegrinder as the vocalist. I must say I like Corpsegrinder much better. He still has that same cookie monster growl quality, but I like being able to understand the lyrics, plus he has more range and variation in his vocals. Barnes just sounds like he's throwing up, he could be saying complete gibberish and it would sound exactly the same.

So regarding this album, the lyrics are great fun, really disgusting graphic violence that sounds like a cheap b horror film. And the music is really great, varying tempos and technically complex riffs and screaming guitar solos that sound like the screams of one of this album's many victims. However, as I said, this is not for everyone. I have to be in a very specific mood in order to enjoy this music, but at least its proof that you do not have to exclusively like death metal in order to appreciate this album.


when death replace gay music!!
I'm used to bands like slayer, deicide or nile, but this is a new favorite in my list. I must say that its my first cannibal corpse purchase, and it kicks a** big time. At times it sounds like Dying Fetus meeting Bolt Thrower meeting Deicide meeting Pantera. Still it has that great twist that make CC so good. Music wise, CC is very complex. . The tempo and riffs changes at every ten seconds. I wonder how these guys can remember those songs live. . . . . . . Lyrically, those people who said that the lyrics are funny are half right. Yeah they aer funny, but not in the way of a joke. Its more in the way of saying: Oh my god, that is so sick. With a smile on your face. Anyhow great album but not for everyone, this is why I gave it four stars. By the way the bonus track of the cover of metallica's "no remorse" is awesome. It reminds us of the time when metallica wasn't gay (before the black album).
Favorite tracks: Hatchet to the head, Dormant bodies bursting, compelled to lacerate, sanded faceless, When death replace life.
If your a death metal fan buy it, if not: Go f*** yourself.
