Cannibal Corpse - Hammer Smashed Face

Today we're learning the iconic Death Metal Breakdown to Cannibal Corpse's "Hammer Smashed Face".

[@autumnschenck9282]

:47 That 1st fret a string power chord sounded like the most quintessential example of the sound of a power chord. Like a menu selection sound in RockBand. Love everything

[@PIKL_Creep]

it's like E minor but in a power chord.

[@Feyudin]

Shut up Autumn

[@augustaborn9034]

My favorite Cannibal Corpse song. Sooo fucking awesome

[@BuHeTy]

Only in Eb and so brutal. No need to go to drop Z ;)

[@dhuntb00]

I've recently been looking into tunings out of curiosity and that has been blowing me away. A bunch of super heavy early death metal is in Eb and it sounds heavy as hell. Once upon the cross really blew me away, and legion is in E standard! A bunch of Immortal in E standard too. It's just crazy

[@LordOfTheJizz]

"I said drop Z, I'm so right and funny"

[@chadembrace]

​@@dhuntb00Yesterday I found out Cattle Decapitation play in Eb.

This is why death metal is the scene! For 35 fuxking years !!!

[@jasonbounds5951]

One of the best riffs ever written

[@gspoiler]

My first metal show was mayhem festival, my little high schooler self walked into the crowd as Cannibal Corpse began Hammer Smashed Face and 3 pits instantly open up around me and i was lifted off the ground from the crowd cramming together. Before I knew it they all merged into a giant pit. Been a die hard metal head ever since.

[@DerekFrampton]

LOVE the Sepultura shirt bro. RESPECT!

[@toastedbread6781]

Love the sepultura shirt

[@doublebass1985]

Fuck Beneath the Remains is Sepulturas best album imo. The title song is one of my favorite thrash songs. I actually played a show with Cannibal Corpse in seattle quite a few years ago.

[@ncsludgefactory5445]

Arise wasn't so bad either hahah The last good album in my opinion

[@jacobtulak2090]

Love your t-shirt

[@mikeyncali]

I was listening to canable corpse before this guy was born OMG I am getting old and yes 90’s early 90’s death metal was awesome but I do like how some death metal has kinda used likin park as a inspiration too. But damn we head banged hard back then for sure and props to all the metal heads still around 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@the.eldubya]

Ace Ventura would approve this

[@Everythingwentblack69]

Nice looking guitar my guy

[@mitchavedon]

Thanks dude!

[@DRILLDOE]

Gallary of Suiside is the best Cannibal Corpse album ever!❤

[@joaobuenostall855]

T-shirt of Sepultura, Brasil 🇧🇷

[@Darth_vR]

IM BACK BABY love your videos keep it up

[@mitchavedon]

Thanks bro

[@RichKnight36]

It blows my mind that some musically gifted people watch this video and go, "Yeah. I got all that. Doesn't sound too hard."

[@shadowmarez7457]

Sounds like the intro guitar for Raining Blood. Sounds very similar.

[@vincentmomont7538]

I’m new to the Channel so has he made a full video of how to play Hammer Smashed Face or no?

[@MetalLover85]

How tf do you get that tone!?!! Because that is metal asf!

[@mitchavedon]

I'm using a Line 6 HX Stomp with the ANGL Meteor Amp sim

[@Pingis11]

Could you do Lucid Fairytale by ND next??

[@Bart_666-1]

How can I get this beautiful sound of guitar? Do you use any pedals?

[@mitchavedon]

I use a Line 6 HX Stomp with the ANGL Meteor Amp sim 👍

[@Bart_666-1]

@@mitchavedon Thank you!!!

[@lachlanguymer3995]

[@darrylhengst1623]

It sounds so high pitched. Coming from a 7 stringer 😂. I love me some Drop A!

[@crzxm]

cool peavey windsor. there's a way to make it look cooler.

[@bennjibertie9450]

Ive genuinely never heard such an easy riff sound like its so complicated 😂

[@Indulge_In_Ghosts]

What guitar and amp do you use? I'd like to have the same setup, it's awesome

[@mitchavedon]

thanks, I use a custom Balaguer Tartarus, and a Line 6 HX Stomp

[@troubleoverkill]

[@mitchavedon]

Hell yeah bro! That's awesome

[@BeastCake1349]

Yeet!

[@mxt217]

id always thought death metal was tuned way lower than e flat

[@RagnarTheRuthless-jo1bg]

Sounds great man any chance you can show us how to play exhume to consume by carcass

[@fxckstxrm]

Nice shirt.

[@brasheyboy09]

Sometimes cannibal corpse sounds like some Charlie Brown ahh beat

[@nathanielchrist102]

“Dad that’s his crotch”

[@vegetariancannibal3098]

DO YOU HAVE THE FULL LESSON?

[@MetalMonster333]

Cannibal corpse is the best death metal band in my opinion 🤘🏻

[@djkanyetwitty]

NO ,.,.,

[@perforator8372]

and what other death metal bands do you know?

[@MetalMonster333]

Enough to know that cannibal is my favorite

[@carlosblank6629]

Ace ventura...

[@doomnukem7196]

Could you go over some of Demon Hunter’s songs like Relentless Intolerance and Infected?

[@uncreativeprocess]

Why did it sound like slayer when you played it? Wrong amount of distortion?

[@parkourshow8949]

I'm a drummer and i have a question: what language is that??😅

[@AgentFour]

Its only in Eb and it's still that heavy????

[@Kauylan]

Why does it sound like raining blood from slayer

[@jetthejudge]

yeah, but what about the intro?

[@abelstrd]

And it's that simple.

[@gyphryphobia]

I will return

[@djkanyetwitty]

NO...

[@ShatteredAutomaton]

Please add an English Translation as I don't speak Greek!

[@michaelolvera7490]

[@DoomerDoxy]

[@ironthrone9455]

Nice lesson? Song is easy BTW

[@GodFlame666]

Just play the damn riff....

[@blackrollins]

i like your content, but why not play the song first then teach how to play it

[@13ninjakill]

If you show the tabs, you don't have to drag out a video.

[@misguidance__]

Sounds like a mess

[@-CoolHardly805]

That was annoying a f

[@judz567]

And it still sounds shit.

[@darknessfadestolight4312]
