Top Ten Albums of 2017
#4: Cannibal Corpse - Red Before Black.
This beefy slab of technical/brutal death metal is my favorite of the last three Cannibal Corpse albums.

CC has been nothing if not consistent over the last decade, but there are a few albums that stick out from among the rest, and this is one of them. Red Before Black has it all, everything that CC has to offer,
from the crushing riffage of Only One Will Die and the raw speed and violence of Firestorm Vengeance to the deliberate initial/terminal grind of Code of the Slashers and the self-described lethal "Cannibal groove" of Shedding My Human Skin.
As usual, everyone is on top of their game, and the production is typically immense and weighty. Standout tracks: Only One Will Die, Code of the Slashers, Shedding My Human Skin.
