cannibal corpse is metal. if you look at death metal and merely think only melodic bands from sweden make up this genre, you are dreadfully wrong. cannibal is a brilliant band. they know exactly how to piss of the mainstream and still sell more records than any other death metal band in history. by the way..my favorite band of all time is death, and of course this is not anythinglike shuldiners music. you see, to be a true fan of metal you must have ears for it all. from cannibal to iced earth, from shadows fall to nevermore, metal is metal. as chuck himself once said, there is no death metal, just metal!!!
