Cannibal Corpse is almost basically with the descriptor “brutal death metal”. Even though the band isn’t the actual founder of the sound, there’s no other band with the same level of cult status within the extreme metal scene. Warm up your neck muscles, as with Municipal Waste, Immolation and Schizophrenia in addition, we have a brutal line-up tonight.
The death metal of Cannibal Corpse has mostly been dealing with horror, murder and explicit torture. This also means that controversy has been following them around since the very start, which also led to a lot of attention. Even though their records and merchandise are banned from being sold in some nations, The band still managed to sell over a million records. This is mostly because the band has upheld a very high-quality level as well across their releases. They have released 16 albums so far, and there’s not a single one among them that can be regarded a lesser work. The urge to push boundaries and refresh their sound, and to appease both their old fans and to find new ones, turns Cannibal Corpse into a top band of global appeal.
Of course they are taking along some very strong support acts. Take Municipal Waste, for example. These thrashers manage to turn every venue into a heaving mass of bodies with their high-paced crossover thrash metal, one of the purest sorts. So best to make some room, as this is going to lead to massive mosh pits! The New Yorkers of Immolation have been around just as long as Cannibal Corpse has. Their death metal is a bit more technical, but of a similar level of ruthlessness. The band speedruns through their set, overwhelming audiences everywhere. And it is up to Schizophrenia from Belgium to warm up the audience with their mix of thrash and death.
