Damn it's actually not archived. Gay. But that reviewer you quoted here contains perhaps a sample of what you're talking about:
In numerous late night sessions at Morrisound in Tampa, Burns told the band they lagged behind their peers in musicality and urged them to write better songs. Cannibal, which spent a month in the studio and a rental apartment trying to best themselves, answered the challenge with classics like “Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead” and “Stripped, Raped and Strangled.” Both songs have never left Cannibal’s setlist in the ensuing two-plus decades.
Just responding to that, I will admit and already have, that Cannibal Corpse upped their songwriting on
The Bleeding and that I do agree that calling the band technical death metal is incorrect. Lagging behind in musicality is 100% fair because it's often seen, especially back then, that "brutal" bands were passe and dismissible. I think Carcass came to the same realisation that shock value and brutality will only take them so far, but this doesn't mean Carcass weren't making groundbreaking music in the sense that they had helped to created the goregrind subgenre, in the same way I would say Cannibal Corpse were groundbreaking because they had helped to create brutal death metal even though like Carcass they eventually decided to move on.
Symphonies of Sickness, like
Tomb of the Mutilated, were sounds both abandoned and also captured in time as key examples of their respective subgenres that many subsequent bands went on to emulate.
Dude that thread is a bit of a shitshow in general, and the argument as usual devolved into us laughing at something I think. This is why this shit never ends because we never actually properly finish any debate.
