 (4.5 stars) Cannibal Corpse Kill again March 21, 2006
9 out of 11 found this review helpful
With a scorching riff, a pounding, jackhammer rhythm, and a high-pitched, ear drum-piercing shriek of "Kill!" from frontman George Fisher, "The Time To Kill Is Now" begins Cannibal Corpse's new album. Make no mistake: they're back, and they're definitely as malevolent and unrepentant as they've ever been.
Love `em or hate `em, you should at least give CC props for one thing. It isn't every day that you'll find a band who, even with nine studio lengths under its belt, can still manage to create a ton of new, superb, brutal, catchy riffs (including some of these guitarists' best riffs to date), and violent, offensive lyrics to produce yet another batch of memorable, bludgeoning songs. In fact, this might be the heaviest and most uncompromising release of Cannibal Corpse's career thus far. Every crushing song on here (aside from the slowly grinding instrumental at the end) has a blood-pumping tempo and is jam-packed with super heavy, nimble-fingered guitar shredding and skillful, punishing drum work to build massive, impenetrable rhythms. Then George's deep, evil, mostly unintelligible vocals (which compliment the music perfectly) top the songs off and make them complete.
"Kill" might not knock down any strictly new walls, but this type of music doesn't have much ground left for CC (or death metal band, for that matter) to cover. Plus, Cannibal Corpse have a niche (they've been in it for the past seventeen-some years), and they've built a well-known name for themselves by making music like this, so if they ever made any kind of music without almost all of their patented ingredients, they wouldn't really be Cannibal Corpse anymore.
"Purification By Fire," with blistering guitar riffs and rapid, thunderous double kick drums, is a skull cracking song and maybe the best of the bunch (aside from the previously mentioned "The Time To Kill Is Now"). "Brain Removal Device" and "Maniacal" have walls of insanely fast, careening guitars and more walloping drums. The surprisingly long and ripping guitar solos on "Necrosadistic Warning" and "Barbaric Bludgeonings," and "The Discipline Of Revenge," which is where skinsman Paul Mazurkiewicz really gets his moment in the spotlight (by unleashing a remarkably fast and talented blast beat), are a few other highpoints.
Some of the album blends together since most of it's equally fast and hard hitting, thus making "Kill" not the classic that some past Corpse releases (e.g. "The Bleeding") were. But "Kill" is definitely a keeper because you'll enjoy it substantially more with repeated listens, and you should usually find something new to enjoy (something which had previously gone unnoticed). Plus, there are a few soon-to-be genre classics and concert favorites on here. So, all in all, this is a very good, completely solid, and fairly awesome disc (the best of Cannibal Corpse's past ten or more years). And it makes for numerous, highly satisfying and entertaining listening and headbanging sessions, so it's very worthy of your time and money if you enjoy (or are new to) the band and/or death metal.
Cannibal Corpse Kill again March 22, 2006

With a scorching main riff, a jackhammer rhythm, and a blood curdling, high pitched scream of "Kill!", "The Time To Kill Is Now" begins Cannibal Corpse's new album. Make no mistake; Cannibal Corpse are back, and they're just as malevolent as they've ever been.
Love `em or hate `em, you should give CC props for one thing. Even with 17 years and ten studio albums under their belts, they still manage to conjure up some superb new riffs, lyrics, and pummeling drum beats and produce a bludgeoning new disc. Plus, "Kill" might not be breaking new ground, but it might be the band's most brutal and relentless effort yet. Nearly every song is full of nimble fingered riffs, skillful drumming, and crushing rhythms.
"Purification By Fire" is probably the best track on here. It's a skull crushing track which is brimming with fiery guitars and quick, thunderous double bass work. Elsewhere, "Brain Removal Device" and "Maniacal" feature insanely fast, careening riffs and pounding drums; "Necrosadistic Warning" and "Barbaric Bludgeonings" both have a long, winding guitar solo; and, lastly, the drummer (Paul Mazurkiewicz) really shines on "The Discipline Of Revenge," when he unleashes an ultra fast and heavy blast beat.
Most of these songs (aside from the slow, grinding, instrumental album closer) are equally fast and heavy, so most of the tracks blend in with each other. Thus, "Kill" isn't as classic as some past Corpse releases (like "The Bleeding"). But "Kill" still has a few soon-to-be classics (like "The Time To Kill Is Now" and "Purification By Fire"), and the album, as a whole, is still enjoyable and worth your time and money if you're interested in death metal.
 MORE BRUTALITY FROM THE MASTERS!!! May 5, 2006
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
Once again, Cannibal Corpse show that they are one of the greatest death metal bands EVER. Great title to an album, because "KILL" is exactly what they do here... again! Good album, go & get it if you havent already.. & by the way, dont listen to the stupid idiotic, & downright pointless reviews of "HYDONYMOUS." This a$$clown gives nothing but bad reviews to death metal just because he doesnt listen to it, calling it pointless noise & that anyone who listens to it has their musical tases "SERIOUSLY WARPED!" He pretty much insulted anyone who listens to death metal. He said the EXACT same thing on every other Corpse album, so I'm sure the dumbf##k will be on here to do it to this album too. He is an idiot, & I hope he gets herpes. Anyway, its a good CC album through & through.
Face-ripping musical complexity and sophistication April 24, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
I became a fan of Cannibal Corpse by their 2nd album, "Butchered at Birth," and have been following their releases ever since. This latest release finds them still at the top of their game. The bar has not been raised, but who has in recent years? This is an album that is very much a worthy addition to any Death Metal fan's collection. The band's razor sharp precision is in punishing display, with songs that go from one riff to the next, from one tempo change to the other without seemingly breaking a sweat. The loss of longtime guitarist Jack Owen doesn't seem to have had a bad impact on this band at all, as returning guitarist Rob Barrett ably fulfills his role. Compositionally, Jack's absence has meant that bassist extraordinaire Alex Webster is now the composer of almost half of the material, and even drummer Paul Mazurkiewic has a whole song to his credit (does he play guitar as well?).
The main difference between this album and the previous one is in the catchiness factor. While "The Wretched Spawn" featured a lot of simple, catchy riffs and vocal patterns that you easily remembered after just one listen, sprinkled amongst their brutally fast and complex passages, on "Kill" we don't hear a lot of those catchy riffs. The complexity and ferocity have once again taken center stage. I have listened to the album about 4 times, and just now I can start getting a feel for the different parts. Not so on their previous one. This time they have gone all out in their pursuit of aggression and complexity, leaving no doubt that they can still outplay, and out-think (compositionally) a lot of bands out there, while viciously ripping off your face with insane aggression.
In short, while not as instantly "accessible" as other efforts ("Spawn","The Bleeding"), "Kill" stands as another musically accomplished, delicously brutal offering that will surely satisfy fans of the genre, both old and new. Pop it into your player, and prepare yourself to be killed.
 These guys are still around? May 31, 2006
5 out of 30 found this review helpful
Boy, I was surprised to hear these guys were still around...and that they have released their tenth album. Is is any good? Well, if you are a Cannibal Corpse fan (and apparently, there are plenty of them out there), they could put excrement on a platter and you'd buy it. This release shows no progression from their first one. It is still silly, gorey b-movie crud that attempts to pass itself off as music. Still, there are those out there that continually buy these CDs, which is really scary. If, after 17 years and 10 albums you are still listening to Cannibal Corpse, there is something odd about you. Hey, that's cool...some people thrive in oddness. I'm sure you are otherwise a perfectly stable human being. But, seriously, it's time to venture out of the dungeon and expose yourself to something that will not leave your ears bleeding. Heck, jump on the Arctic Monkey bandwagon if you have to... just leave the swamp for a while, please.
