Zombie Corpse Autopsy - The Great Chain of Slaughter (2007)

With a name like Zombie Corpse Autopsy, I was expecting something more like straight-up grindcore or death/grind. But this is more melodic death -- reminding me somewhat of At the Gates' amazing TRitSiO -- with a combination of hardcore-singing and death grunts. As it wears on, the songs seem to get less melodic and more death/grind, and therefore less interesting to me. Even at their best (the 2 minute instrumental intro "Cascades of Carrion") they're not anything you haven't heard before.
