Cannibal Corpse Make Charts

2009-02-11 by 204409 EMERITUS | 40 Comments
In a pleasant surprise to deathheads and a sour defeat for people who dislike paintings of zombies getting abortions as album art, Cannibal Corpse's most recent album, Evisceration Plague, debuted on the Billboard 200 at #66 with 9751 units scanned.

Bassist Alex Webster had this to say, "We are blown away by the amazing response to our new album Evisceration Plague. The chart positions that have been reported for this album are well beyond our expectations and the response from both critics and fans has been overwhelmingly positive. We want to say thank you to everyone at Metal Blade and Channel Zero for the great work they did on this release, and most importantly we want to thank our incredible fans, you are the reason for our great success. Thank you, you guys rule!!!!"

This beats the release of their last album Kill, which debuted at #170 with 6049 albums scanned. Other stats follow:

Honestly didn't expect this. It's awesome to see they managed. They've been there for a long time, they deserved to get high in the charts.
I have the hope I'll see a death metal band getting to #1 in the charts while I live.

Why? Because they decided to stir things up a bit by adding actual music into the mix?

No he means that popularity will ruin the eliteness. However, nobody who is actually elite listens to Cannibal Corpse, so elite deathheads are pretty safe actually.

Are people going to start calling them sellouts like they did to Metallica? Are they going to make their career similar to Metallica's?

Just throwing some questions out there.

And, I hate both bands.

Pretty epic when death metal charts. :D

The Faceless's planetaty duality charted at #119 some months ago, which is also great to see.

Looks like that death metal is getting some more attention in the U.S.

Thats what happens to most bands...people like their music on a personal level. So when a band gains more than five fans people automatically start to hate them, its in our human genes to do so. Ya a lot of their stuff is drivel your right...but i was referring to the new stuff...less drivel.

Publications like Revolver and gasp...even Terrorizer like to think Sonic Syndicate are melo-death. But that's not the point, my point is, this could be a sign of changing times. Maybe one day the M3TAL will completely overshadow the rest of the music charts. I can only hope.

Except that Behemoth sucks ass while Cannibal Corpse actually makes quality death metal. Cannibal Corpse don't layer their vocals 260 times to sound more evil, which is just obnoxious.

And George Fisher's vocals are just amazing anyway.

This is really cool news. It's a shame they could tag an extra 6 on their rank though. Just to humor them. I still ned to hear this. And Kill come to think of it. Someday.

On the game Quelf, one of the cards of the Category ScatterBrainz, we had to give examples of metal bands. Cannibal Corpse was the first one I said.
