Cannibal Corpse

i always remembered there being a cannibal corpse video on headbanger's ball for awhile, but i could never remember what it was. after some scouring i saw something familiar- "staring through the eyes of the dead". that being said, never been a fan. i always thought they were some sort of joke band, as i scoffed at their t-shirts in the "rockabilia" ads in the back of circus, hit parader, kerrang, metal maniacs, or any random guitar magazine i found on the bottom shelf of the periodicals rack while at the grocery store with my mom. the sad part is, this band was probably a "gateway" band for a lot of dudes who got into death metal. this song in particular is pretty bland and features the shite vocals of one chris barnes. for those of you unfamiliar, he continued his campaign of shitty sub-par metal with another band by the name of six feet under. kids who like this shit generally have long hair, oversized black t-shirts, black military pants, boots, subscribe to fangoria, refer to most things as "brutal", are overtly proficient with computers, wear those glasses with the bars across the top like kip dynamite, have little to no experience with the opposite sex, throw the "metal claw" up as a congratulatory gesture, smell bad, suck in general, etc., etc.
