Cannibal Corpse filled the Stone Pony of Asbury Park, NJ full of death metal destruction on Monday, November 13, 2006. Opening for the legendary Cannibal Corpse were Unmerciful, Necrophagist, and Dying Fetus. The Stone Pony is a fairly small venue and when the show started it wasn't very full, but as the night went on it filled to a decent size, but thankfully not to the point of suffocation.

Unmerciful were the first band to play. Unmerciful are death metal four piece and I wasn't too impressed with their performance. They sounded like a generic death metal band that are heavily influenced by Hate Eternal and Kataklysm. Unmerciful features blast beats, "cookie monster growls," and guitar work that I've heard before in Hate Eternal. While I do enjoy death metal bands such as Kataklysm and Hate Eternal, I like to see those bands and not another band playing their music. Despite my lack of interest in Unmerciful, I do appreciate the skill of the guitar work and the effort that they put into the show.

After Unmerciful, Necrophagist came on. Necrophagist were quite impressive and one of the best bands that night, aside from Cannibal Corpse and Dying Fetus. I had heard of Necrophagist, but had never heard their music. They were a pleasant surprise with their long and musically technical songs. Necrophagist had songs with unparalleled guitar work, deep death metal vocals comparable to that of Cannibal Corpse, amazing bass work that featured a solo during one of their songs, I believe it was "Seven," and very fast paced technical drumming. The only flaw I saw in Necrophagist's performance was the length of their songs. Standing on your feet for so long can be quite a challenge when enduring songs that are at least five minutes long each. I know, I've been to an Opeth show before. Overall, Necrophagist is an amazing band and could definitely headline a tour. Check them out if you get a chance.

After Necrophagist, Dying Fetus came on and gave an outstanding performance. As with Necrophagist, I had heard of Dying Fetus, but had never heard their music. Dying Fetus was another welcome surprise. Dying Fetus was and stand as one of the most technical bands I have ever heard. They got everyone in the Stone Pony, which had turned from a little crowd when the show started to an almost full venue, moving and in a pretty big pit. Dying Fetus were most impressive to me because of the incredible guitar playing and because one the guitar players is also the vocalist. They reminded me, in this respect, of Hate Eternal, but much more technical. Dying Fetus also had some impressive drumming with impeccable double bass. Their bassist was impressive as well; Dying Fetus' abilities were best exemplified when they played the song "Reduced to Slavery."

After Dying Fetus, Cannibal Corpse hit the stage and killed everyone. I had been looking forward to Cannibal Corpse the entire night and was very excited as this was my first time seeing them. When Cannibal Corpse hit the stage they sent the entire venue into a giant pit. Songs that I recall from that night are, "Devoured by Vermin," "Death Walking Terror," and "Mummified in Barbed Wire." I can still not get over the fact that I moshed to "Devoured by Vermin" - that song is and will now always remain a personal favorite. Cannibal Corpse put on an amazing show; all band members are very impressive musicians and Corpsegrinder will always be the best death metal vocalist. Definitely check out this tour if it comes to a town near you, you will get your money's worth.

I missed seeing this show because Primus was playing the same night at the same venue as this tour and Primus live is one of the most incredible times in your life. I've seen Cannibal Corpse before but never Necrophagist or Dying Fetus. Oh well, they'll be around again.

wat pisses me off is cause everyone wants to be like the inner circle in the early 90s in norway but they did it because they really hated christianity while everyone else are more then likely just posers (not sayin everyone else r just sayin more then likely), however if ur in a band its a good way to get ur name across

Stonefaced if you prefer screamo stuff then you probably won't like the main extreme genres (Black Metal, Death Metal, Funeral Doom etc). I'd try Grindcore as ZeroTolerance said.

Try Agoraphobic Nosebleed, Anal c***, early Carcass etc. Or maybe technical deathcore-ish bands like Cephalic Carnage, Ion Dissonance or Dillenger Escape Plan.

Otherwise if your looking into Death Metal try Cryptopsy of their "None So Vile" album or for Black Metal try Emperor's "In The Nighside Eclipse" album. That's the best advice I can give.

slayerdisciple, I know you wouldn't say anything like that. One of my friends is back home (house arrest), one got away, and the other one has just disappeared, no one knows where he's been, we hope he's okay. Everything's been chill other than that. And of course I don't condone their actions, if that were the case, I'd have been with them. They even made the local news, my friends at school saw the sh1t on the news. Honestly, as much as I know my morals would kick in before I'd plan something like that, I kinda admire what they did...Oh yeah, are you on AIM, Yahoo, or MSN often? I wanna send you some stuff my friends recorded of me playing guitar (kickass solos)

But yeah, dude, how's it going! I just read up on Behemoth working on new album! I'm in heaven-erm-HELL from the news!!!!! \m/ My cheapass dad decides that his drinking habit is more important than Slayer, so I won't get to see them annihilate DC! Fvcking drunk bastard
