Cannibal Corpse - 2003 - 15 Year Killing Spree (3CD)

They warned everybody. After years of arguing, promising, bitching, and the bandmembers probably spewing blood and excrement on one another, Cannibal Corpse's obsessively packaged box set is here. Yes, obsessive is the word, from the amazing cover and comic book by Vince Locke to the full-color booklet loaded with photos galore, complete discographical information, and liner notes by Rock Hard magazine's Alex Webster and Frank Albrecht. There's also a poster and a guitar pick thrown in for kicks. Oh yeah, the music: there are three CDs in this monster, two of them compiling a 32-track best-of that contains all the faves: "Vomit the Soul," "Stripped, Raped and Strangled," "Meat Hook Sodomy," "I WIll Kill You," and other sensitive ballads. The third is a 21-track rarities comp of previously unreleased material with everything from the original 1989 demos to outtakes to cover versions of cuts originally by the Accused, Razor, and Kreator. The fourth disc in the set is the be all and end all: a live DVD that compiles the band's first-ever show in 1989 (though it's not exactly a three-camera shoot), footage from the Butchered at Birth studio sessions, a live set from Moscow in 1993, and a complete live gig from the Palace in Hollywood in 2002. If this band is your thing, then you gotta have it; if you are a collector, you gotta have it just for the package; if you are a Cookie Monster fan, vocalist Chris Barnes represents his alter ego and, you guessed it, you gotta have it.
