...it is going to be much easier to actually remember songs from it. I know that for example on "Eaten Back To Life" some tracks were so similar to one another, at least for many listeners, that it was hard to distinguish them, even after a few listens. In that respect "The Bleeding" shows a big progress. There are also more tempo and time changes and as much as this phrase is so common that it hardly means anything, people will understand it better after the hear the album.

CANNIBAL CORPSE released their fourth album The Bleeding on this day in 1994 through Metal Blade.
We recorded "The Bleeding" last year, in November in Morrisound Studios in Florida. Altogether the session lasted for about four, five weeks. The production was naturally handled by Scott and that's probably why the album came out exactly as we wanted it to.
...[lyrics] are still stories about death, blood and fear - the same stuff as before. On the other hand, however, the approach to them is rather different than on the earlier albums. I would say this time I treat them as more real, closer to life.
