Speaking of rap music, along with 2 Live Crew and Geto Boys, then Senator Bob Dole accused Cannibal Corpse of undermining the national character of the United States of America. I'm proud to say Tomb of the Mutilated was my first Cannibal Corpse album and it may be the most perfect album ever created. It starts off simple enough with a barrage of metal power cords that let you know these New York assholes are not fucking around and then a rapid assault of the bass drum that almost sounds like the drummer discovered the kick pedal in his kit or the very first time. But then the magic happens at the 18 second mark, a bass noodle interlude that sounds a lot like what Les Claypool would play had he just woken up from sleeping on his hands, fingers still numb and finally we are greeted by the voice of an angel singing every word and vowel as they inhale. Who cares what comes after that point? The metal gods just bestowed upon our unworthy ears the pinnacle of metal.
My best friend thought he was hardcore because he liked Slayer and on that day and every day after witnessing these metal Gods, I could call his tame ass a pussy. John, you are a fucking pussy!
