You know you've made it to the big leagues when people forbid you from entering your country and want to kill you :lol:cannibal corpse were WAY more extreme than all those bands. Not necessarily influential, just extreme. Not because the music was inherently evil, but because they went out of their way to make the lyrics as vile as possible. I met Jack Owen back in 94 in london and he basically said it almost became an inside joke to get as much negative media attention as possible. They didn't make the lyrics vague to avoid prosecution, they just basically described really disgusting shit in vivid detail which is what offended so many people.
The only band to come close were Deicide imo, but they only became big a bit after CC. They had a lot of death threats and were banned in many countries.[/b]
