Cannibal Corpse

The Bleeding

Stripped, Raped, And Strangled

---

Funny story, I actually thought about reviewing the new album by Cannibal Corpse... But then, after hearing just one song and feeling ill, I decided it's not the best plan. So, for now, here is one from my request list.

Vocals

I like how he is using his deep voice. I realize it is always deep, but this is even more so. And then that high one that emphasizes things.

Music

A quick song with a good mixture of riffs and changes. Two minutes in is a good example of some changes that make it feel somewhat groovy, instead of just completely straightforward.

Lyrics

There are lots of thoughts out there on serial killers and murderers, many people involved in trying to solve cases, etc. I have actually been told on more than one occasion that I should watch some of the True Crime shows because it might save my life or make me more careful... If this is true, that I have to fear for my life because I am a woman... How sad is that? I am untrusting and paranoid enough.  

I remember hearing about a bus I had previously ridden. A guy literally ripped someone's head off on it in front of all the passengers. There are people out there that are suffering from mental health problems that make them want to kill people or think things are a different reality than what they really are. Maybe some people are just pure evil.

These lyrics are very disturbing... And I shared a portion that was the lightest. Yikes!

They think they know who I am.
All they know is I love to kill.
Face down, dead on the ground.
Find me before another is found.
I come alive in the darkness.
Left murdered and nameless.
Dead, unburied, and rotten.
Half eaten by insects.
