"l 20 de Julio, fue anunciado que Ralph Santolla había dejado Deicide.Participó con la banda de Death metal Obituary. Santolla aparece en su último álbum "Xecutioner's Return" - reemplazando a Allen West - y estará de tour con ellos en soporte de este álbum. "Funny tidbit of info there, it says that Ralph Santolla left Deicide for Obituary, was featured in their latest album "Xecutioner's Return" replacing allen west, but is touring with Deicide in support of this album.
Interesting. I actually havent heard much of Obituary, I only know them from a few albums covers i saw and because i think they did a song with sepultura. Or they covered one of their songs in that old beneath the remains album. A classic btw. Well, yea, i've listened to cannibal corpse, from the eaten back to life album, until their more recent stuff, with the corpsegrinder fisher. In fact i have 2 songs from them right here with me, one from their "best" album, or at least thats what i gathered from many fansites, hammer smashed face from the tomb of the mutilated album, and a more recent one, Cynaid Assassin from the Wretched Spawn album with fisher. Very different indeed, the older song seems more raw, and the newer sounds more over-produced and processed. I think i tend to lean towards the Barnes era of the band. Sucks that they didnt get to Peru with Barnes.

Years ago on the album "Cause Of Death", they did a good cover of the Celtic Frost tune, "Circle of the Tyrants". As far as I know, that's the only cover they've ever done.Yeah, Tomb of the Mutilated was one of the last albums featuring Chris Barnes on vocals. I got to see Cannibal Corpse a few times with that old lineup, those were some good shows. There is VERY BIG difference in Chris Barnes vocals back then and right now as he fronts Six Feet Under. These days, he SUCKS. He used to have a much deeper growl, now he sounds like the lazy sloppy fuckin' stoner that he is. That's part of the reason why they ousted him. A good call in my opinion. Back in those days they actually had day jobs. Now their only job is "musician", clearly they've done what they had to in order to achieve the success they've worked so hard for over the years.
No no, i meant the other way, sepultura did an obituary cover. I think the songs was called stronger than hate. Ah yea, i one time read an interview done on Chris Barnes, and he was indeed a big pothead. I think there was mention of a song in the 6ft under album called pot or something like that. So, youre in the opinion that musicians are good when they have day jobs, and once theyre rich enough to only do that, they become sloppy? Its probably true.

There was one Six Feet Under CD that came with an additional DVD of extras. In the intro part of the DVD, Chris is sitting in the studio rolling a joint and making a big to-do about it. These days, it seems like he's more interested in getting high than buckling down and focusing on honing his songs. Like I said, I think that had a lot to do with why the rest of the band told him to get the fuck out. They like to party every now and then too, but they never let the music suffer because of it.Actually, I think Chris Barnes is a full-time musician these days too, but he's certainly not "rich". Neither is anyone in the current lineup of Cannibal Corpse. They have typical middle-class America houses, drive regular cars, wipe their asses with 2-ply toilet paper just like everyone else instead of 100 dollar bills like fuckin' Puff Daddy and Fred Durst.
I love all kinds of metal, but it's impossible for me to listen to cookie monster vocals. I can handle At the Gates/Death/etc. vocals just fine, it's when they get down to the Six Feet Under level that it gets to be too much. And @ their AC/DC covers.
