The Barnes Era of Cannibal Corpse was the best years of Cannibal Corpse

[@dillonsquee1711]

Knowing that Chris Barnes wrote these lyrics, it feels more personal and sick. He's like a vocal serial killer on each album, racking up kills and telling us how he did it. Whereas with George, it doesn't feel as personal because he's singing other peoples thoughts. Both are incredible vocalists, but Chris's sick mind really lends to the depth and meaning when he sings his thoughts.

[@zachdalmaso2131]

Barnes' lyrics were really tryhard to me, but I guess that's subjective. I never cared for DM lyrics that try too hard to be violent and edgy. Writing about murdering prostitutes or other garden variety serial killer stuff is lazy, imo. Just make it dark and evil, it doesn't have to be gory or excessively violent.

[@ShadowEl]

Musicians and singer who were just totally out of sync. They're doing all this rhythmic experimentation and he's still singing every line on the 1 downbeat. Total mismatch.

[@MonoGrinded]

@@ShadowEl Interesting point, does Corpsegrinder follow along with their experimentation closer?

[@Typhoon0627]

@@ShadowEl Completely agree. I think more than the cat screams it was the vocal phrasing that got him booted. Alex, Jack and Rob were progressing as musicians with more complex riffs and rhythm patterns and Barnes was still screaching in a garage band. Barnes lows and lyrics are legendary in their own right, but the band just outgrew his "musical capabilities". Barnes fit better in an Obituary type band which is why the first SFU album worked so well for him. If memory serves, Alex and Paul wrote all or the majority of the lyrics and vocal patterns for Vile after Barnes was fired. George came in as a hired gun at that point with minimal input.

I can clearly remember interview with the band in a 1996 Metal Hammer magazine. There they explained why they sacked Barnes out of the band. Supposedly he sent them out of the recording studio and recorded the vocals alone. He told them he has a "surprise" for them. But the vocals were too "mild", lacked brutality....

Everything happens for a reason, but I think Barnes would have left anyway. He said it was a relief when Alex said they were going to go in a different direction. I wish he could've stayed in the band, or changed their name post-Barnes because it doesn't feel the same with Corpsegrinder. With Barnes, all 4 of their proper albums sounded completely different from one another. They grew leaps and bounds with their tightness and instrumentation with each release. With, Corpsegrinder, they've kind of gotten stuck in a groove of sameness, in my opinion. Vorpsegrinder is an adequate vocalist, just nothing stands out. I like this version better, definitely, but Barnes vocals after this have suffered tremendously. Oh yea, 'Butchered at Birth' is my favorite CC album 🤘🏻

[@sweetypuss]

the issue is that barnes never had good technique. his vocals absolutely could've held up over the years if he didn't smoke so much and actually practiced. he'd also still be in CC if he did

Hello. This version is probably from the re-released version by the fisher era where they edited Chris's vocals and took out some parts, especially in Unburied Horror. For example, "Not a drop of blood (left in my body). No sign of life left in me. My heart beats no more (I have expired). Someone please bury me". The lines in brackets have been cut out, because band said his vocals were all over the place, so I assume, they edited them. The first version was posted online somewhere in the late 90s or early 2000s, before this was officially released. If someone finds the "original" version, please upload, thanks

[@lhzawk]

this is soooo much better, good nasty real death metal production + barnes vocals. actual heavy shit not the weak stuff they put out nowadays.

[@sweetypuss]

@@lhzawk cannibal corpse has put out the same album repeatedly since 1998, just arranged slightly differently. say what you will about six feet under but at least each of their albums has a distinct identity from eachother

[@lhzawk]

@@sweetypuss facts, you can't tell any song apart from each other, their discography post 98 is one huge album

[@tvwizard369]

"weak stuff" 😂 wtf are you on about? Every album they've released is good in its own way, they haven't released a bad album

[@lhzawk]

@@tvwizard369 I did not say they are bad just that they're weak. Compared to their early stuff and real metal(what they were) it is. even their early stuff is weaker than heavier stuff before eaten back to life, like blasphemy Blood upon the Altar(89' demo) and carcass reek of putrefaction(88'). the same riffs from the 80s over and over for decades is boring and weak

[@tvwizard369]

@@lhzawk All pf their albums are metal. Just because they're not "br00tal" enough by some arbitrary standard you hold things to doesn't mean they're not metal 😂 not sure why you're being some cherry picking elitist, sucks you can't let yourself enjoy things, especially something as great as music. You remind me of myself at 17, if music didn't have blast beats or wasn't "heavy" enough, I thought it was boring garbage 🤡

[@LANDEN_BERGER]

Barnes will always be the true CC vocalist, corpse grinder isnt a bad vocalist, but he doesnt fit the cannibal corpse style and kind of overpowers the rest of the band with his performance. Vile is a good album, and I like some songs like pit of zombies, scorge of iron and code of the slasher, but overall his vocals are too much and dont have the dark brutal animalistic sound barnes brought. I also think barnes's high notes get a bit too much hate. Hell, Six Feet under had a hand full of good songs after Haunted, I especially like the cover of War Machine

[@Destroyersoul-e9x]

Finally someone said it, 1000% truth man. I always thought the same, Corpsegrinder just doesnt fit at all and like you said he overpowers the rest of the music.

[@Chest3rTheSquirrel]

the vocals are way better than I expected with how people talk about this version lmao

[@biorythmicshifter]

And this is what happens when you aren’t willing to take constructive criticism from your band matés because your ego is unchecked. Chris could have still been in the band if he chose to work with the others on the vocal patterns. I can hear why they wanted some of them changed, some of it doesn’t mesh with the timing…it’s a shame. Considering how his vocals have changed for the worse over the years I’m glad they took Corpsegrinder. He has lungs of steel and can spit out a shitload of words like an auctioneer…

[@StyrThrenodia]

I don't really get why they went separate ways after such a performance. Must have been something personal.🤷

[@sethputnamsghost]

I prefer this over Vile personally. Puncture wound massacre is amazing.🤘

[@Mastectomy]

I have no idea why Alex and Paul say that 'these vocal do not fit to music'. Maybe in some fragments.

[@berganssekk]

It had to do with the rhythmic patterns of the lyrics. Barnes wanted to write the lyrics himself, not necessarily taking the rhythm of the music into account. The rest of the band was more keen on streamlining both vocal delivery and riffing in unison.

[@martinlopuszynski5361]

SUPER!!!!SUPER!!!!!

[@CatVisionTM]

I think the vocals sound pretty good here

[@CatVisionTM]

also, thanks or uploading this, I'm team Barnes all the way so this was awesome to hear

[@justinchitwood8916]

That right Alex doesn't know what he was talking about

[@MehtaKyaKehta]

EEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@CatVisionTM]

@@MehtaKyaKehta he was just trying to tell the band the key in which he though he EEEE’d best

[@CatVisionTM]

@@justinchitwood8916 I’m sure alex knows what he’s doing. He’s one of the best bassists of all time after all. It’s just for me, Barnes era CBC was the thing when I was in high school and stuff, so good memories tend to bias my opinion.

[@jessestrobel2]

This shit rules. Maybe a few weird parts but fuckin fantastic overall, Barnes' deliveries

[@robertg305]

I need a physical copy of this

[@sweetypuss]

you can find physical bootlegs of Created To Kill but they're balls expensive

[@metaleroperonista]

It will be a bootleg, this isn't an official release.

[@lamentate07]

This sounds so much better than Vile. Wish Chris left/got kicked out _after_ this album.

[@BrentlyTV]

oof the mix sounds rough as helll. not just barnes. i mean i get it, its a demo not an album.

[@felipe_ai]

Barnes can't keep up with the time signatures, he was just doing what he wanted at the tempo he wanted, it doesn't match in a lot of parts, they we going more technical and needed better vocal patterns, he just couldn't do it

[@morbidcorpse5954]

😂😂😂

[@sororitysleepawaymortuary1659]

I'd say yes and no. Some of his timing created better more natural sounding patterns and not so robotic and structured. What would have been cool is if he went back and fixed the parts that didn't sound as cool being unstructured. that would have taken more time and from what i understand Chris was adamant about not changing his vocal patterns. I'm not sure if the rest of the band wanted him to completely change everything or just some spots to clean things up. The fact that they weren't getting along couldn't have helped that situation either.

[@tofu-warrior7948]

Thankfully someone talking sense. Took alot of scrolling down the comments to get past the Barnes arse kissers. George is a much better fit. Tighter and faster vocal performance and I've always enjoyed his style from his days singing in Monstrosity. Barnes vocals aren't a patch on what George did on Vile. I'm glad they gave him the boot.

[@jeffreylieberman1668]

I like the songs sung by Chris way better. Really wish they would have kept Chris.

[@questionblock8949]

I couldnt agree more. I understand that his voice is done now, but back then in CC he was perfect. His vocals, lyrics and even his look was just perfect for Cannibal Corpse. I cant listen to CC with george. Chris was incredible

[@jeffreylieberman1668]

@@questionblock8949 Exactly how I feel, 100%

[@sweetypuss]

@@questionblock8949 there's no denying his voice is a shadow of its former self but i think it's still grody and disgusting in a good way. it really does sound like a zombie brought back to life, and thats pretty fucking metal imo. chris sounded absolutely beastly on Undead & Unborn, as well as Crypt of The Devil

[@campbells0ups]

@@sweetypuss agreed, those three albums from SFU were bangers. barnes really gave all he had left on undead, unborn and crypt of the devil

[@sweetypuss]

@@campbells0ups nah fr barnes was in RARE form on those three records. they need to bring that vibe back. i think it could be an absolutely brutal experience with jack owen on board, maybe even earning six feet under the respect they deserve

[@exhydraboy2429]

I think the big difference between this demo and the product that Vile became is that George wasn't really ennounciating properly in this era, which makes this recording more palpable. That and a lot of the lyrics were over engineered making it harder still to understand. I feel like Vile would have held up better if George used the technique he used when performing at the time and he would have matched this sickly vibe a lot better

[@Dev7.62]

I really wish they released an official version of this . If they polished it , re-recorded some of the vocals and maybe changed some of the lyrics this would of been one of the better CC albums. Cannibal corpse was never the same after Chris left . I wish they got to record more albums together before Chris’s voice went to shit . Don’t get me wrong I love Chris barnes but his voice definitely declined around the early 2000s Also it’s not just the vocals that changed when Chris left but the whole theme of the band became more tame in my opinion. No one ever talks about this but even the logo was tamed down and made to look less brutal . The original 4 albums ( 5 if you include this demo) are so dark and gritty compared to the modern stuff . Vile was the only good album and that album is essentially a Chris barnes album.

[@sweetypuss]

i thought Chris sounded his best on the SFU album 'Commandment' personally. the best mix of his new and old vocal styles

[@SRFArtandAudio]

Infinitely better than Vile. Don't get me wrong, I like George and just saw CC in concert two weeks ago. But this album should have been made before Chris and CC parted.

[@Poser_Metal_Records]

I'm in the same boat. I like these versions of the songs better than what is on Vile. I like George's vocals as well, but not so much for these songs.

[@Unklechopchop]

I agree too..... CB vocals not only more brutal but his phrasing has more flow and groove to it

[@nathanhyde2079]

@ Fantastic I like this version too, funny you say that about Barnes, I Iheard I think Webester say something opposite about him.

[@joshallen3558]

Yup, VERMEEEEEEEEEEEEE much better than Fisher's actual ability to scream 👍

[@user-mz9ig5id3o]

Fucking brutal vocals , and no bland production like in the album

[@lamentate07]

Yeah. Vile sounds really flat and dull. No life to it.
