Red Before Black

Editors' Notes Nearly 30 years into their career, death-metal masters Cannibal Corpse haven’t missed a single blast beat. Propelled by an exceptionally ruthless performance from vocalist George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher, the band’s 14th album is packed with frenzied riffs, brutal bass bombs, and ultraviolent tales of murder and maiming. Savage opener “Only One Will Die” sets the bloodthirsty tone before the decimating graveyard groove of “Code of the Slashers” and gory gallop of “In the Midst of Ruin” give way to crushing closer, “Hideous Ichor.”
