First slice of death metal on the list (though not the last) and if we are going to do Death Metal, let's do the utter grandaddy of the scene, Cannibal Corpse. 35 years into their career they show no sign of slowing down or growing old gracefully. This is another slice of high-octane nastiness. Full of revolting rhymes and gnarly riffs. This is also a technically superb record as you cannot be this nihilistically heavy without having virtuoso abilities.
