This is one of my favorite Cannibal Corpse releases in my collection. I bought it some time in the summer of 2003. During the time before the release of Gore Obsessed, I heard about a song called Worm Infested being that album. When Gore Obsessed came out, the song wasn't on it. So I went on to believe that it was all just a myth. That was until I saw this EP advertized as a part of a catalog of albums by other record labals sold by Century Media Records (home of Unleashed, Krisiun, Nevermore, Arch Enemy, ect.). Than I thought about ordering the EP some time later on until I saw it at a Spec's Music Store. That's when I immediately seized the moment and bought it because the number 1 rule of thumb was never leave a music store without anything and everything that is not in your Cannibal Corpse collection. So that's what I did. Anyway, I bought this EP, I took it home, listened to and it delivered like anything and everything Cannibal Corpse.
Now for my review. This not another studio album by the band. This is an EP and it contains some unreleased material, covers and extra tracks from overseas versions of the George Fisher era albums. Lets go through them one by one.
1. Systematic Elimination and Worm Infested - These are 2 songs that were supposedly suppose to be on Gore Obsessed. They have the Gore Obsessed sound and production and they are 2 important gemes for the Cannibal Corpse die-hards.
2. The Undead Will Feast - This is not the version from Eaten Back To Life. This is a new version with George Fisher on vocals and sound and production are in the vain of Vile. I think I like this version better but I'm not sure because the original holds a special place in my death metal heart. Nontheless, it's another good geme for the members of the cannibal colony.
3. Covers - The covers here are of No Remorse by Metallica, Confessions by Possessed and Demon's Night by Accept. These covers are killer and will keep the cannibal die-hards happy. For those who are looking for the original versions, here's how it goes. The original version of No Remores is on Metallica's debute album Kill 'Em All. The original version of Confessions is on The Eyes Of Horror album by Possessed and the original version of Demon's Night is on the Accept album Restless And Wild.
So in closing, this album is an important collection for all of the die-hard Cannibal Corpse fans. Since it has been said that it's a limited edition, I say pick up a copy now. Buy 1, 2 or 3 copies or as many as you like but just don't miss out.
By the way, I know that there are Cannibal Corpse fans out there who have complained about the song called Sacrifice now being on this EP. Don't dispair my bretherin, there's still hope. The song is on one of the CD's included on the Metal Blade 20th Anniversory boxset. That boxset is only available at Tower Records and here at Amazon.com. I warn that the boxset is a limited edition also. So go head and get a copy now. Buy 2 or 3 if you want. Just don't miss out.
