CORPSEGRINDER - Corpsegrinder

What a killer project George Fisher put out with some help from Eric Rutan, et al.  Putting out something within the death metal realm it definitely slays. It sounds a bit like the new Cannibal Corpse 'Violence Unimagined'. But not whole heartedly, just some variation to it. Some more slower parts, but still pretty brutal.  Not so much within the brutal death metal category though.  This album is to me a "B" average.  It has the elements with a little grove laden death metal with catchy riffs but the album itself is only a little more than 30 minutes in length.  I wish it were longer but maybe they ran out of material.

Corpsegrinder sounds the same as he does with Cannibal Corpse so it's quite good!  The riffs really stand out and make it interesting to listen to.  The production quality was top notch and the guitar sounds like vintage Cannibal Corpse with a kick to it.  Being that there are different guitar players each track just about makes it interesting though some of it is a little uninteresting.  I'm not saying for the whole album, just some of it I thought was a little humdrum.  But sometimes this happens with death metal albums especially when it's a band that you'll know what it might sound like ahead of time.  I still want a copy of this on CD.

As I said, I like the production quality it's tops with me just some of the songs I thought were just mediocre. If that weren't the case I'd give it a better score.  However, I think it's above average just some of it was drawn out.  Corpsegrinder's vocals are pretty much similar to what he does for Cannibal Corpse just a little difference.  But not really that much.  The intensity isn't as robust in here as on CC records.  But I think that the guitar tuning is about the same as it is on CC it's a little bit groove-laden than anything else.  Some songs they're more intense than others but for the most part they're slower.

I definitely can't wait till the CD is available on Amazon.  It's a CD I want because it's something that I consider to be way tops with me despite its caveats.  The guitars are chunky and slower but the intensity is there.  I really liked "Acid Vat" among others.  That was the first song that I heart from this which I did research then eventually got the digital download.  I'm definitely happy that I've had a chance to review this and experience Corpsegrinder with other people and how he was able to work with other guitarists to make it to what it is.  I'd have to say that I told you what I disliked on this and it was more so that I liked it then not.  Check it out!
