1245 - Cannibal Corpse The Bleeding 1994

After “Tomb of the Mutilated”, Cannibal Corpse released “The Bleeding”. This was also a time for change in the cannibal camp, as guitarist Rob Barrett (Solstice, Malevolent Creation) took over the spot left open by Bob Rusay. It is the last album for Chris Barnes, who would soon be booted from the band. Throughout the entire album, but more particularly on the auspiciously memorable title song "The Bleeding", Barnes manages to push his otherwise deep and dreary bark into a higher shriek register. The riffs are fairly experimental for a death metal band; Jack Owen and Rob Barret, unknowingly shaped the future of death metal with this release.
