Cannibal Corpse - Des Moines, IA, June 1994

Legendary death metal band Cannibal Corpse will be playing Saturday, May 1 at Station 4 in St. Paul with 1349, Skeletonwitch, and Lecherous Nocturne. To get ready for this show I've got for you here a classic Cannibal Corpse show with Chris Barnes from The Bleeding tour in June 1994 at the Two Rivers Music Hall in Des Moines, Iowa.

The exact date of the recording is not known since this date was a late addition to the tour and is not listed on the official tour dates. Judging from the tour routing, Saturday, June 18 is the most likely date. A Saturday show would also be most likely since this was probably a matinee show due to the strength of the sunlight coming through the loading dock backstage. Although I'm not at liberty to disclose the taper, this is a first generation copy from the original source.

Here's the set list:

1. Staring Through The Eyes Of The Dead
2. Fucked With A Knife
3. Stripped, Raped And Strangled
4. Put Them To Death
5. I Cum Blood
6. Vomit The Soul
7. Entrails Ripped From A Virgin's Cunt
8. Pulverized
9. Covered With Sores
10. Shredded Humans
11. Force Fed Broken Glass
12. An Experiment In Homicide
13. A Skull Full Of Maggots
14. Gutted
15. Hammer Smashed Face

The video quality is excellent, aided by the fact that this was shot essentially in daylight. The audio quality isn't the best, but it's certainly very listenable. Probably a B overall. You can check out two of the songs here. Head on over to my YouTube channel to view the entire set. The txt file listed below has the download links for all video files (mov, H.264, 640 x 480) as well as the audio files as MP3 (320 kbps) or FLAC.

I'll post the performances of the opening sets from Cynic, Sinister, and Public Assassin soon!
