Cannibal Corpse

What’s in a name? Just the other day, I was remarking to a friend that Guardians of the Galaxy, just from the title alone, didn’t sound like the sort of film I’d be interested in; similarly, I can’t really imagine that Radio 3 listeners will be rushing out to procure the entire Cannibal Corpse discography any time soon. Just in case that wasn’t enough, though, they apply the sensibility to their song titles - ‘Hammer Smashed Face’ and ‘Skewered from Eye to Eye’ actually being among the less offensive - and themselves, with frontman George Fisher better known as Corpsegrinder, although presumably not to his mother. Nevertheless, Cannibal Corpse remain one of the great examples of the cult metal band, and retain a strong fanbase both in the UK and overseas; they’re not afraid to mix things up, either, touring with Children of Bodom back in 2009 despite the possibility of a clash in audiences. Needless to say, first time Corpse attendees should expect brutal noise levels, high technical proficiency, and a barrage of outrageous lyricism from Corpsegrinder that only those with the steeliest of nerves would consider to be anything less than a bit much; if mosh pits are your thing, though, the venue floors tend to pretty much be converted into one giant one throughout, so there’s that, at least.

This was my first Cannibal Corpse show and I can safely say this will not be my last. During the week of prior to the show a lot of shit was happening to the point where I needed a break from reality. The opening bands although at first I didn’t really care that much for actually peaked my interest in them so it was a great lineup for the tour. And so when Cannibal Corpse took the stage there presence felt like a good “you better listen to us or your fucking dead” vibe and I love that with death metal. While the show itself was amazing in itself. The best moment didn’t happen till after the show. You see my friend and I decided to wait by there bus to see if we could meet them. I honestly thought it’d never happen but I was proven wrong when all five members started to come out the back door to great, sign, and take pictures with there fans. I was lucky enough to have meet all five members and get pictures. They are really nice people to there fans so that adds another layer of appreciation to the band. So to sum up the night it was surreal. Like the ghostbusters, they came, they saw, they kicked some ass!

Cannibal Corpse put on a killer show. Extremely high energy and a good level of interaction with the crowd. You could definitely tell that these guys are professionals and love their jobs. I've been wanting to see Cannibal Corpse for a long time and I definitely wasn't let down by them. The only thing that I did not enjoy was certain crowd members that insisted on continuously throwing blows, kicks, elbows, and picking on certain smaller members in the pit. Despite this Dallas-based group supposedly made to make pits safer, they were far from it, being the main offenders.

Regardless, Cannibal Corpse is an absolute must for any metal fans, and would gladly see them again.

Really disappointed by the show, the setlist, and just everything. Seems like Cannibal Corpse is just going through the motions of their day job these days. I understand these guys are way out of their prime, and I was fortunate enough to see them in the mid 90's, which was a totally different experience. I understand Cannibal Corpse has a huge catalog, but they don't really play any of the classics anymore. Not a single song from Eaten Back to Life, nothing from The Bleeding. Disappointing all around. I can't even say they seem like they're even into it. Maybe it was an off night.

Cannibal Corpse was the best band with the best sound quality at the Slayer concert.

They should have been the second or third band playing and should have been able to play for at least an hour.

I had a great time there. They gave Amon too much time on stage.

Slayer was absolutely great and so was Lamb of GOD.

I HAD THE BEST TIME EVER OVERALL
AND THE PEOPLE WERE Great.

I had no problems what so ever.
I can't wait to attend the next concert there. The staff was great also.

Cannibal Corpse was absolutely brutal as ever for Summer Slaughter in RVA. Not only did they play every song the fans wanted to hear, they delivered each with so much intensity and soul...dark, brutal, metal soul. They were even so kind to sign autographs and take pictures with their fans after the show before loading onto the bus. As the years go by, Cannibal Corpse has withstood the test of time and came out on top. Much respect for this talented group.

The show last night at Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia Maryland was great. With a lineup like that there's no way it could be bad,but there is one thing I can say. Canibal Corpse always puts on a great show, but being they were the first to go on, They were not allowed enough time for their set. Still nasty, mean and as brutal as ever. Keep the slaughter and the meat grinders going, you sick bastards. Thanks for a great show!

Ooooh très bon concert,
KRISIUN est toujours un rouleau compresseur, très énergique puissant et carré. Il on commencé le show par un p'tit clin d'oeil pour Lemmy.
CANNIBAL CORPSE n'a plus rien à prouver non-plus,très efficace avec un tempo un peu changeant mais agréable à écouter...
Le 013 est une bonne petite salle avec une très bonne acoustique !

I got a cracked/fractured rib because someone was trying to take my spot. The venue sounded perfect, wasn't too loud for unprotected ears but still had a lot of presence. The first band tribulation wasn't as good as I expected though. It was still a good concert and can't wait to see them again.

It was a sold out show, the crowd was wild and had some crazy mosh pits. Cannibal Corpse had a great set list with new and old material. I got the shirt I've been looking for from them as well at the show. What more could you ask for? It was pure Cannibal.
