Some may think I'm silly for giving this song five stars, but I have my reasons: I've never heard anyone do such a remarkable impression of what it would sound like if Cookie Monster were in the music-making business, and I have to applaud Chris Barnes for being able to growl so low! I always thought Max from Sepultura was a growler - was I wrong! And I have to applaud the band for the powerful, fast, crunching rhythms. If you are a true metal fan as well as musician, you will like this song. I also have to give it another star because it doesn't screw the world up, as a fellow reviewer said, as does other music that promotes murder, drugs and gangs. Anyone who can't appreciate this band's musicianship and ability to create such diverse rhythms, such as a non-musician or anti-metal type, has no business reviewing this song, or treading the grounds of metal music. Honestly you have to be a musician as well as metal fan to understand why I've rated this song so well. Keep up the good work Cannibal Corpse! Long live metal!

Every once in far too long, the cosmos is blessed by the introduction of a group of musicians so Earthshatteringly brilliant, that all the angels in Heaven lay down their harps, to marvel that even god could create something so beautiful. This CD captures the essence of everything that is right. Purer than a mountain spring, and more beautiful than the morning dew on the petals of a crimson rose.
This band has the ability to convey the most complicated and nameless of emotions. From the smallest child to the pope himself, everyone can relate to these eloquent lyrics. The complex melodies and harmonies are matched only by Cradle of Filth. This is Cannibal Corpse at their finest hour. If I could only have one CD, it would be this.

The first time I heard Cannibal Corpse, I immediately dismissed the band 'cause of the horrible vocals. I kept listening, mostly for comedic value, and it slowly grew on me. The guitar as we can all mostly agree on is fantastic, and the vocals are just something you gotta get used to. All three songs on this EP are awesome pieces of art. Just listen with an open mind.

Pivitol release partly marking the beginning of Death Metal as a genre. Unsurpassed brutality, speed and aggression.

Hammer Smashed Face. Is there really anything else to say? An incredible, unrelenting death metal classic that shines on all fronts, and doesn't rely on the crutch of necrophilia that so many of their songs, especially on Tomb of the Mutilated, have leaned on. C Corpse's cover of Possessed's the Exorcist is well executed, tight, and heavy, and their version of the Black Sabbath classic Zero the Hero is even heavier with Chris Barnes' ultra heavy, completely un-understandable singing and the guitar mastery of Jack Owen. Worth the money, if you want to own a classic song, but don't want to pay $15 for a whole bunch of necrophilia crap.

Only three songs here but it is definately worth the money!
The cover of black sabbath's "Zero the Hero" is just f**king sick! It takes a classic 80's metal song from sabbath and redifines it with some of the sickest vocals I have ever heard!
GOD I LOVE THAT COVER,HEARING THAT COVER JUST REMINDS ME OF WHY I LOVE THIS BAND IN THE FIRST PLACE AND FILLS ME WITH JOY! The other cover of possessed's "the excorsit" surpasses the original in every way! The guitars are more clear and once again Chris Barne's sick gutteral vocal performance blew me away! His voice sounds better here than on "tomb of the mutilated"! And than lest we forget one of the most violent and sickest death metal songs of all time "hammer smashed face"! This is defanatly worth buying even if you already have tomb of the mutilated,just for those two cover songs! If you can i recomend buying the japeneese import of tomp of the mutilated with this ep on it!

I went and saw Cannibal Corpse at the Sounds of the Underground tour. When Fisher told everyone to 'start slamming', hammer smashed face kicked in and I got punched three times. It was wayyyyy worth it. Hammer smashed face is freakin awesome

This is for that one dude who gave this a 1 star rating...how can u say this isnt music? This rocks way harder then what you listen to(probally like cold play and green day)...so just leave the people who like this music alone. If you dont like it then dont review cause Cannibal Corpse deserves respect for all they've did for death metal.

Yet again Cannibal Corpse proove to everyone that there's not a band in the world that can come close to them in terms of pure genius. 'Hammer Smashed Face ' puts other pieces of music which, over the years, also have been highly acclaimed (e.g Beethoven's 5th Symphony) to shame. Absolutly brilliant, a song for the whole family, 5 stars.
