Cannibal Corpse – A Skeletal Domain (2014)

September 4, 2023

Love that fuckin’ album cover! Nice to see something from Locke that isn’t total fucking gore and evisceration (lol).

So – onto the album itself. Sitting somewhere between the bludgeoning sounds of old and the more treble-heavy Rutan-produced sessions, A Skeleton Domain hits really fucking hard. There’s something about the riffs here that makes them extra dense and thick and sinister as all fuck. “Kill or Become” will melt your face off and turn you into the (faceless) walking dead. “Icepick Lobotomy” will do, well, pretty much mostly the same to be honest, but dem riffs tho fam, dem riffs!

All in all, a solid effort from the legends that are Cannibal Corpse.
