Fuck Yeah! Time for the fun stuff. Letter 'C'! Cannibal Corpse. Let's get the metal out and stab someone in the eye with it... lyrically. I was a very young and wide eyed little boy. When I saw a Cannibal Corpse t-shirt. I had already been exposed to Slayer and the likes of some other metal. But I just had to find out what this band was all about.
It was the first time that I had heard such words thrown together in the titles of songs like. Hammer Smashed Faced, I Cum Blood, Entrails Ripped from a Virgin's Cunt, and Post Mortal Ejaculation. Not only did I not understand what most of these meant. You can't really make out the lyrics either.
I found out they were from Buffalo, NY which is not too far from Rochester, NY where I was born and raised. They even used a voice clipping of Arthur Shawcross (Rochesters most notorious serial killer) in the beginning of one of their songs. ""I don't know, I just took that knife. And cut her. From her neck..........down..........to her anus. And cut out the vagina. And ate it.""
They even appeared in a short scene in Ace Ventura Pet Detective
Flash forward to now. I hit up their website while writing this and lo and behold. They're taking pre-orders for their new record. http://www.cannibalcorpse.net/ Haha! They're still around! It's crazy to think they've had longer careers then Ricky Martin or a slew of other phony baloney pop stars. Proof once again of what a true artist is. Creating work out of passion not out of contractual liability. No matter your flavor or if it's done in poor taste. They're not doing it to make money, they're doing it for much more than that. And for that I salute you! Thank you for showing me this at a very early age.
