In a scenario that recalls the kind of "two great tastes that taste great together" situation that created the peanut butter cup,
Cannabis Corpse
smash together the worlds of death metal and stoner culture with their EP
The Weeding
(a spoof on
Cannibal Corpse
's
The Bleeding
). While the music is pure death metal brutality, song titles like "Skull Full of Bong Hits" reveal the band's (relatively) playful side. Despite the jokey stoner leanings, the music here is deadly serious, making it a great album for weed-loving metalheads and kids looking to scare their parents in new and inscrutable ways. ~ Gregory Heaney
