Personal Review: The Wretched Spawn by Cannibal Corpse
The Wretched Spawn was one of my first Cannibal Corpse albums, and to
this day it remains the best of my collection. Flawless production, brutal
mix of hooky songs as well as brutal songs. This album takes you through
many twists and turns, beginning with the trashy Severed Head Stoning,
and ending with the 16 second scream from Fisher on They Deserve to
Die. A more thorough breakdown:
Severed Head Stoning - One of THE best Cannibal openers. Amazing riffs
and drums as fast as lightning. What you'd expect as a Corpse opener. 4
Stars.
Psychotic Precision - Very technical song. At one point I thought my player
skipped, because there is a repeated section where they completely go off
course, and after repeated listens, it gets EXTREMELY addictive. Great
technical song with many pinch harmonics to bang your head to. 5 Stars.
Decency Defied - Good song upon first listen. Very, very catchy song,
though after repeated listens it normally requires a skip, because it follows
the setup of a basic radio friendly song. 3 Stars.
Frantic Disembowelment - Wow. If there is one song that completely is
worth buying the ENTIRE album for, its definitely this song. Ama zingly
technical, extremely hard to play. Just watch the extra DVD to see what I
mean. They play Frantic without any vocals and with Pat as the only
guitarist. You'll appreciate this song that much more after you realize its
difficulty. Oh, and yes, it comes with a bonus DVD that shows the making
of the album, plus some bonus features, but I digress. Brutal song, speedy
riffs, grows on you. 5 Stars.
The Wretched Spawn - Used to be my favorite off the album, but for now,
its just decent. This has one of the most amazing breakdowns in the
history of the Corpse. I love the extreme head banging section where
Fisher screams, IT WAS MADE TO KILL!!!. 5 Stars.
Cyanide Assassin - Typical, but still brutal Corpse. Very fast song with
many twists and turns to keep you interested, not much else to say. 5
Stars.
Festering in the Crypt - It seems there is a nice little slow song on each
Cannibal album lately, always written by Owen. They always kick arse, and
this is no exception. I think this is one of the best songs Owen has written
since Pat joined the band. 5 Stars.
Nothing Left to Mutilate - Strange song. It gets your head thrashing, but it
seems like George is the focus here, as the guitars fade into the mix. Eh, it
doesn't deserve a skip, but it isn't a standout track. 4 Stars.
Blunt Force Castration - I love the lyrics to this song, but the music is only
basic. Another typical Corpse song. 4 Stars.
Rotted Body Landslide - I love the section near the beginning of this song.
And boy, do I LOVE this song title! Decent song. 4 Stars.
Slain - Not for the average Corpse fan, this song may let some of you
down. Strange song, in all honesty, but I think tha t makes it a gem. Not
extremely well done, but rare for Corpse, so i'll give it 4 Stars just for trying
something new.
Bent Backwards and Broken - Another amazing song title, with amazing
lyrics. This song is quite technical, and it will definitely melt f aces. 5 Stars.
They Deserve to Die - Amazing song. Very heavy, very catchy. Has a nice
16 second scream by the one and only George Fisher near the end. Very
pleasing, and slightly unexpected as an album closer.
This album holds a very special place in my Corpse, hell, even music
collection, and I recommend it to every Corpse fan. Those of you who
never have tried Death Metal, listen with an open mind, please. And those
of you who refuse to listen with an open mind, but buy the album anyway,
please don't come onto Amazon and bash this album like so many others
have done.
