With the return of Rob Barrett and the keen engineering abilities of Erik Rutan, Cannibal Corpses' umpteenth release "Kill" seems promising. Finally aptly titling their new one "Kill", it's an album title which can be applied to any Cannibal Corpse release.

With the return of Barret the hope for better song writing or at least a different approach to song writing is a hope that sees Barrett as merely a second guitarist given most of the songs were probably written before his re-entry. The elements for a better release can be heard like on the past two albums "Gore Obsessed" and "Wretched Spawn" but these potentials are not utilized. The hope is soon distinguished after the first three tracks of the album which don't offer any sort of shift whatsoever or improvement which can be a result of one thing; Cannibal Corpse hasn't changed since "Eaten Back To Life". What i'm speaking of is the drumming. Paul Mazurkiewicz seems pretty comfortable in the same drum track he's been doing for years and this damages otherwise well written songs. On every album, it's that notion that maybe, just maybe he won't use the same blast beats.

Lyrics are also becoming more and more contrived, where the whole band writes them while George sings em' and his vocal placements and patterns haven't gotten anymore exciting either which leaves for just blurted out murderous rambling in no particular order. The band's technicality hasn't slowed down either but with the bland drumming the whole album suffers. At this point they can lift other drum tracks from previous albums and use Mazurkiewicz for touring. Hardcore fans i hope you are still awake because this is for you, and this goes for future releases, you know what's ahead now.

"Kill" is another Cannibal Corpse album.

England's 1988 Castle Donnington Monsters of Rock festival featured one of the most enticing heavy metal lineups ever — Guns N' Roses, Megadeth, David Lee Roth, Kiss, and headlined by Iron Maiden (the show holds an attendance record of over 100,000).
