Gallery of Suicide (1998) - Cannibal Corpse

 

Gallery of Suicide by Cannibal Corpse, released in 1998, stands as one of the band's most distinct and varied albums. Showcasing a blend of relentless brutality and technical precision, it reflects the band’s evolution in songwriting and their ability to create atmospheres of horror and despair. With George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher delivering unrelenting vocal ferocity, the album is both a showcase of technical prowess and thematic exploration of macabre and grotesque imagery.

Tracklist:

  1. I Will Kill You
  2. Disposal of the Body
  3. Sentenced to Burn
  4. Blood Drenched Execution
  5. Gallery of Suicide
  6. Dismembered and Molested
  7. From Skin to Liquid

  9. Stabbed in the Throat
  10. Chambers of Blood
  11. Headless
  12. Every Bone Broken
  13. Centuries of Torment
  14. Crushing the Despised

The title track, "Gallery of Suicide," is a haunting piece that departs from Cannibal Corpse's usual tempo, delving into slower, doom-laden riffs that amplify its somber and eerie tone. Contrastingly, songs like "I Will Kill You" and "Sentenced to Burn" are relentless, offering the speed and aggression that fans expect.

"From Skin to Liquid" is a standout instrumental track, emphasizing atmosphere over outright brutality. Its unsettling melodies and creeping pace provide a brief yet impactful reprieve from the album's otherwise unrelenting intensity.

The album maintains Cannibal Corpse’s signature gruesome themes, with tracks like "Dismembered and Molested" and "Chambers of Blood" delivering graphic narratives underscored by complex riffing and relentless drumming.

Gallery of Suicide is a fascinating entry in Cannibal Corpse's discography, offering a mix of their classic brutality and experimental moments. The title track, "From Skin to Liquid," and "Sentenced to Burn" stand out as personal favorites for their blend of aggression and creativity. The somber tone of "Gallery of Suicide" adds depth to the album, making it memorable beyond its sheer heaviness.

Overall, this album is a testament to Cannibal Corpse’s ability to evolve while staying true to their core sound. It’s a must-listen for fans of extreme metal seeking an album that combines technicality, atmosphere, and unrelenting brutality.
