[QUOTE="crucifine"][QUOTE="JeffGenocideX"][QUOTE="skullkrusher13"]I'm seeing a lot of Cannibal Corpse fans in this thread. I reccommend you guys check out The Faceless. zh666
LOL wow... Cannibal Corpse... best local band here in FL & Morbid Angel.
What about Death, Atheist, or Cynic? All way more influential than CC...who really has no influence, to be honest. They're also all from Florida...can you name a single band that atleast sounds a bit like Cynic or Atheist? While Death IS one of the most influencial bands ever, but its mostly just their 80's stuff thats important... Cannibal Corpse however, was of course a later band, but they did usher in so many bands, became THE most popular Death Metal act ever, and have been imitated by a ton of (crappy) bands, more so than Death, Cynic or Atheist combined within a shorter time
Well, a lot of the tech death bands wouldn't necessarily be here if it weren't for Atheist and Cynic. As in, they were the biggest bands at the start of tech death. Cannibal Corpse wasn't the first to do what they did, although they did have a much bigger fanbase than almost any death metal act in recent history. In fact, besides seeing Suffocation have a quick bit on the History Channel, Cannibal Corpse is the only death metal band I've ever seen in public media (Ace Ventura). That was my point, really. Punk wouldn't be here without The Stooges, but everyone says it was The Ramones, catch my drift?
