This is the best album by Cannibal Corpse and one of the best albums of all time. Everything about this album is on point. This is when Cannibal Corpse stepped up their game and took it to the next level. Their first two albums before this one are excellent (especially Butchered at Birth), but they really put it all together on Tomb of the Mutilated. Tomb of the Mutilated is actually a loose concept album where the songs flow together in order to tell a story. This is mainly true for the last three songs on this album. Every song on here is amazing. “I Cum Blood”; “Addicted to Vaginal Skin”; “The Cryptic Stench”; “Post Mortal Ejaculation”; “Beyond the Cemetery” and of course “Hammer Smashed Face” are all standout highlights. The drums are excellent and have a good tight pop; the guitars sound great as well. The distortion used on these songs is very heavy and right where it should be. The riffs on “Cryptic Stench”; “Hammer Smashed Face” and “Beyond the Cemetery” are all killer. Also, the vocals are amazing on this album. Chris Barnes was at his best when he recorded vocals for Tomb! Production quality for this album is pretty solid, Scott Burns from Metal Blade is legendary. I think it’s about as good of production as was possible back in 1993. The album artwork as always by Vincent Locke is epic (especially the original version with the original band logo). I highly recommend this album if you’re into old school death metal.

Cannibal Corpse sú na Death Metal -ovej scéne dosť dlho, aby som vedel, čo mám od ich novinky čakať. Hneď na začiatku priznám, že radšej mám melodickú odnož death metalu, takže aj moje hodnotenie bude zodpovedať môjmu vkusu. Po zvukovej stránke je album podarené, hlavne gitary a bicie. Čo ma na CC nikdy neoslovovalo boli debilné texty, ktoré sa doteraz ne... Read More
