CANNIBAL CORPSE (@Roundhouse, 12/09/09)
Fri. 12th of September 2009.
The Roundhouse, Sydney. http://www.unswroundhouse.com/
Ouroboros http://www.myspace.com/OUROBOROSMETAL
Only caught the last song or two... good heavy stuff.
Black Asylum http://www.black-asylum.com/
described by a friend as "Baby Triviums". Couldn't tell the comparison myself.

are great live! With a rhythm section that will shake your spine and spleen, guitars that will shred you to pieces and vocals that will decimate your throat and ears. This American band is there to DESTROY YOU! In a good way of course! A good mixture of songs from throughout their career (from their first album released in 1990 to their current release, Evisceration Plague) and classic songs such as "Butchered at Birth" and of course, "Hammer Smashed Face". Although all songs sounded as though they could have been from the same album, at least this band (only the drummer and bass player are original members) has had a continuity of style if not line-up. The current singer (who has been with the band for about 14 years now) can "windmill" his hair better than anyone - ever! And had plenty of witty remarks and introductions to songs. For example, commenting on the moshpit after the second or third time and something akin to... well, to those in the pit, you better go for it even more because this song has pit in the title... "PIT OF ZOMBIES!!!"
Definitely a band worth checking out!
