0 Terrible - Waste of your life and time.

Note: Reviews are graded from 0-5, anything higher or not showing is from our old style. Scores, however, do not reveal the important features. The written review that accompanies the ratings is the best source of information regarding the music on our site. Reviewing is opinionated, not a qualitative science, so scores are personal to the reviewer and could reflect anything from being technically brilliant to gloriously cheesy fun.

Demos and independent releases get some slack since the bands are often spent broke supporting themselves and trying to improve. Major releases usually have big financial backing, so they may be judged by a heavier hand. All scores can be eventually adjusted up or down by comparison of subsequent releases by the same band. We attempt to keep biases out of reviews and be advocates of the consumer without the undo influence of any band, label, management, promoter, etc.

The best way to determine how much you may like certain music is to listen to it yourself.

Reviewer: Ben McCraw

  • Pure American death metal



  • Throughout the years Tampa Florida band Cannibal Corpse has remained consistent in their lust for pure aural devastation, and their latest release "Evisceration Plague" is no exception. Produced at Mana Studios in St. Petersburg FL by Hate Eternal frontman/lead guitarist Erik Rutan, the album shows that the band has pushed their already considerable musical talents even further. Lead guitarist Pat O'Brien (ex-Nevermore) contributes virtuosic solos to all but two of the albums songs: "Evidence in the Furnace" and "Unnatural"(which features a solo by Rutan himself). Bassist Alex Webster's technical brilliance cannot be overstated as the low end notes fly under guitarist Rob Barrett's crushing rhythms. Paul Mazurkiewicz's drums were taken to new levels of precision as were the Earth-shaking vocals of George Fisher. But despite the high levels of musicianship, this is far from being just a musicians' band, they remain one of the finest and most defining examples of pure American death metal today--ever intense and always true to their fans including the one writing this review.
