PYPHIL SALAMACHA talesman Staff Cannibal Corpse has some new additions to their band. This is their second album with vocalist George "Corpsegrinder' Fisher, and it also includes the recently added guitarist, Pat O'Brien. They have also made production changes including the removal of their previous producer Scott Burns, who has been recently replaced by Jim Morris. As soon as I saw the album cover depicting various ways people kill themselves, I already knew the CD was going to be brutal in every respect-and I was right. The first song on their album, Gallery of Suicide is entitled "I Will Kill You," and it sets the mood for the entire CD. Paul Mazurkiewicz pounds your ears with his blasted beats and double bass. Jack Owen and Pat O'Brien go insane on their guitars which accompany Alex Webster's speedy basslines. Corpsegrinder screams his head off with some very low octave growls and high- pitched screams. The title track "Gallery of Suicide" starts off very slow and evil. When Corpsegrinder starts Cannibal Corps wailing, the guitars change into a palm-muted madness and then to Liquid" is an instrumental.
