Cannibal's latest album, "Ate In Alaska," is a tour-de-force of metalcore that is sure to delight fans of the genre. The band's signature blend of heavy, chugging riffs and soaring, melodic choruses is on full display here, as is their penchant for exploring darker, more introspective themes.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Frozen in Time," which features a hauntingly beautiful piano intro that gives way to a pummeling barrage of guitars and drums. The lyrics deal with the idea of being stuck in a moment, unable to move forward, and the desperation that comes with that feeling.
Another highlight is "The Great Unknown," a driving, anthemic track that showcases the band's ability to craft catchy hooks without sacrificing any of their heaviness. The chorus is especially memorable, with vocalist Alex Rodriguez belting out the lyrics over a wall of distortion and pounding drums.
