Album Review: Waking the Cadaver - Perverse Recollections of a Necromangler (2007)

Waking the Cadaver has the crown-worthy achievement of making quite possibly the most hated metal album of the last 30 years. fortunately, however, it seems that people have recently (last 3 years or so) been warming up to this release, though not as much as they glaze the band's weaker, watered down albums (Authority Through Intimidation and Real-Life Death). so does this album deserve the hate it got? lets discuss. this is gonna be a long one btw

So before we get into why i specifically think this album got the hate it did, i want to get into the surface level reasons for it, meaning the music itself (like most of my reviews).

the guitar and bass r the some of the first things i've seen people complain about. the guitar tone is pretty thin, really distorted, and very scooped, all things metal elitists like to whine about even when they like them when used by bands like Deeds of Flesh. The bass is completely buried, and only pops out all on a few songs. it's definitely there, though, because you can hear it at some points when it's isolated.

next is the drums. the snare drum is a wonderful tin can sounding pop, but of course, people who like Slayer and Cannibal Corpse won't be able to appreciate that. The main complaint i hear about the drums, other than the snare sound, is that they're played pretty sloppily, but i think that just makes the album sound raw-er and more brutal, something that i will take WAYYYYYYY before i ever listen to something as programmed and fake sounding as say Ingested.

next is the songwriting. Waking the Cadaver plays music somewhere between deathcore and slam, meaning their music (especially on this album) is very full of chugs, breakdowns, and slam riffs, and while it does have a decent amount of tremolo riffs in it, they're not really the focus. I personally love their style of slam > breakdown > slam > breakdown writing, however this was NOT well received in the wider metal community because it isnt wanky and stupid and needlessly complicated and done to death like most things 40 year old dudes with beards that still wear camo cargo shorts and Deicide shirts tend to like. the songwriting is really fucking strong on this album too, they riff hard as fuck and every song is full of catchy parts that makes it wayyy more memorable and enjoyable than most shit the aforementioned 40 year old dudes tend to like

and FINALLY. the moment everyone who knows this album and its reputation has been waiting for: the vocals

Don Campan (the vocalist) makes some of the finest insect noises ive ever heard that arent from an actual insect. he uses almost exclusively inhale gutturals for the entire duration of this album, and it suits the music perfectly. however, metal dudebros dont LIKE inhale gutturals, they like boring false cord lows that go the length of the entire album with no variation, so these impeccable coffee grinder noises offend their delicate little ears by simply being too good and fun to listen to.

now heres why i think this album gets the hate it does: see, core/scene kids dont like insect coffee grinder noises either, and they also dont tend to like brutal death metal, which is why they're -core/scene kids and listen to shit like Asking Alexandria (remember im thinking in late '00s terms) and Black Veil Brides or whatever instead of Cryptopsy and Cerabral Incubation. but this is a deathcore album right? its marketed to deathcore and metalcore kids right? the band has a Verb-the-Noun name for gods sake of course its a deathcore band. NOPE. not at all. this is barely a deathcore album, i'd say this has more DNA from Dying Fetus and Devourment than Whitechapel or Suicide Silence.

so what is it? i think deathcore is kinda an okay label to give it. it's definitely death metal with breakdowns, but breakdowns don't make something core. hell, even bands like Suffocation have breakdowns and nobody's calling them deathcore. i think Waking the Cadaver is really just brutal death metal. yeah, it has slam parts and breakdowns and tons of gutturals, but yeah so does most brutal death metal. it's not slam, it's not deathcore, it's certainly not slamming-gore-groove (the label the band gave themselves to seem unique) it's just bdm.

but that's not how people saw them when Perverse Recollections dropped back in 2007. core/scene/emo kids went in hoping for core or scene or emo music, got their heads blown off by the first breakdown and threw the CD in the trash (seriously, how did people ever think an album with song titles like Tire Iron Emblugeonment and Blood Splattered Satisfaction was emo???). metal elitists went in, prejudiced and thinking it was deathcore, heard the first breakdown, snorted to themselves, wrote a 0% review on metal archives calling it the worst album ever and gay scene kid music and also threw the CD in the trash, except without their mom to take it out of their room like the scene kid had, it sat under a pile of c*m-filled tissues and grew a whole eco system of mold while the metal elitist spent a long, hard day gorging themself on cheez-its and posting hate-rants about it on r/metal

really, Waking the Cadaver is a victim of poor marketing, if they'd been named some like weird medical word (something with -otomy or cephalo- in it) they would prolly have gotten big with the bdm crowd (which seems to be the group of people that like them the most anyways) and if theyd completely changed their sound, they mightve fallen in with the -core kids (at the loss of everything that makes them great). really, this album is a GOLD standard in a very specific style of death metal, which i've only found replicated by a few bands, but because they didn't land in that niche at the time, they missed it almost entirely, which is why they've only started really getting their accolades in the bdm and deathcore scenes recently

for what it is, i think this album is a 10/10. it's definitely one of my favorites

standout track: I Know the Insides of Women

What music they like

I love listening to music and I love making guesses about what music the DwD gang is into. This is me sharing my headcanons about what they like, whilst exploring new genres myself! I will also include links to the playlists I listened to while making this post.

Rem

Think Classical music, Cinematic, Instrumental, but also think Atmospheric, Lo-Fi, ASMR, really just something to keep the space not-silent. Sometimes silence can weigh too heavy on Rem, especially when he doesn’t have much to occupy his head with. He likes to play music while he works, so as to not let his mind wander too much and set a rhythm for whatever he’s doing. I don’t see him listening to music at any other time, to be honest. x. x. x. x. x. x.

Urie

Super into EDM, Trance, anything loud and with a bass that hits you hard,  that you can dance to until your limbs fall off your body. He likes losing himself to the music when he’s out clubbing (which he is often). Other than that I think he likes pop artists like Ariana Grande and Katy Perry during her Teenage Dream days. x. x. x. x.

Mage

Indie and Hip-hop all the way. Mage likes to blast just about anything in his car, but those are the genres he just can’t do without on a roadtrip. He also loves making mixtapes with songs he thinks the rest of the gang will like. Some of his picks really hit home, though no one except Ritsuka admits it. x. x. x. x.

Shiki

He’ll play meme songs to piss others off, though he genuinely likes some of them. But that aside, he loves Alternative music (think TOP, grandson, MISSIO, Royal Blood, Nothing But Thieves), because they put him in the great mood to sulk and/or rage around. His fave music channel would be MTV Rocks. x. x. x.

Lindo

This guy will like anything—anything—that comes on the radio, and changes his ringtone to his new favourite song at least 5 times a week. He only likes the clean versions though, and mostly listens to them at home so no one gets offended by the F-words. Especially Ritsuka. He can’t have her listening to songs full of curse words, no, no.. x. 

Roen

One word. Jazz. It relaxes him and eases him into the swagger we all know and love him for. It also helps him fall asleep faster in pom form. He particularly likes the songs they play in coffeeshops, especially in the morning. It sets a positive vibe for the rest of the day in his opinion. x. x.

Azuna

Azuna loves the sound of female voices. She loves how some songs seem to fill the air and make your heart swell with the strength of them. She also enjoys listening to roots and Americana. They make her feel dramatic and powerful and well, she likes feeling dramatic and powerful. x. x. x. x.

Ritsuka

She might not look it, but this girl wakes up with the loudest, angriest anthems she can find. It just... resonates with her, somehow. Sometimes Lindo will pass by her room and thank God she’s sensible because otherwise she might blow off the roof with the stuff she’s playing. Deathcore just isn’t for everyone. x. x. x.

[lovemesomesurveys]

How do you feel about full length beards? I’m not into a lot of facial hair. I like some scruff, but that’s it. Have you ever been to a circus? Yeah, once. I was naive and didn’t know about the abuse that went on at the time. Do you know anyone who’s gone to a Fat Camp? No. Do you use Facebook IM everyday? No. I don’t even remember the last time I used it. How many surveys have you done already today? This is my first.

What’s the WORST show on Adult Swim? I don’t care for the Adult Swim shows. Family Guy and American Dad is okay, but after that it gets too stupid and weird for me. Sorry. Like once I saw this show, Mr. Pickles, and uh... wtf. The episode I saw was very disturbing. I don’t get the appeal of Rick and Morty at all. And why the hell is Mike Tyson Mysteries a thing? That’s just to name a few. I see previews of other shows and I just... wow. Do you have any relatives that have shunned you, or vice versa? No. Has anyone ever posted a HORRIBLE picture of you for everyone to see? Not maliciously or because they thought it was horrible and wanted to embarrass me, but yeah. My mom has posted photos where she didn’t see anything wrong and she thinks I looked fine, but I was like EW NO take that down it’s hideous. I reallyyyy don’t like photos of me taken by someone else. I have to take my own photos if I’m going to take one at all because I know the angles and lighting and can add a filter. Plus, I can take a ton before finally settling on one. If someone else takes the photo and they want to post it, I have to approve. Which grade in school was the most fun for you? I enjoyed elementary and middle school. High school had its ups and downs, but there were parts I liked. I liked the last 2 years the best. Which would you rather have, a new puppy or kitten? I wouldn’t want another pet right now to be honest. We have our doggo and one suits our family best right now. Does drama seem to follow you everywhere you go? No, thankfully. I have other issues I struggle with, but not drama. Do you ever just want to go away to a new place where no one knows you? I don’t live in a small town where everyone knows everyone and I was never Miss Popularity, so apart from family and a few other people, not a lot of people know me. However, I do want move away to a new place. My family and I have wanted to for a long time, we just haven’t been able to. A change of environment and scenery would be really nice. You’re ordering a pizza, you can have any kind of toppings, what are they? I’m a simple gal, I just like white sauce, feta and ricotta cheese, garlic, spinach, and crumbled meatballs with pesto drizzled on top. Do you hit ‘quiet’ or ‘ignore’ on your cell? Which one usually? Nah. If my phone rings and I don’t want to answer it, I just let it ring. Do you ever regret giving your number to people? I have before with some people. Have you ever been told that you’re afraid of your own shadow? Haha yeah. Have you ever tried Gouda cheese? Nope. Does/did your high school have pop machines? No. They decided to remove them the year I entered high school, which I was mad about. Do you use a public computer, or do you have your own? I have my own laptop. Do you ever find it odd how you type LOL when you’re not really laughing? >> No, because I understand that its function has moved far beyond representing actual laughing-out-loud. <<< Yeah. I remember discussing that in a class once. Have you ever gambled? A couple times. Not my thing. Although, what really made my experience unenjoyable wasn’t so much the gambling, it was that the casinos I’ve been to allow smoking and I don’t do well with cigarette smoke. At all. It gives me a killer headache, makes my heart rate go up, and makes me feel dizzy and sick. It’s awful. The smell in the casinos was too overbearing for me, so I spent very little time inside. Do you know anyone who’s won the lottery? No. If you could work at any retail store, which one would it be? I really don’t want to work retail. And that’s not shade toward retail workers AT ALL. I salute you, honestly. You deal with a lot of shit. What’s the shortest you would ever cut your hair? I had a “bob” for a few years. Do you listen to any deathcore? No. Do you subscribe to any teen magazines? Which ones? No. I’m also 30 years old. Do you know someone who never smiles? Never? No. Has anyone ever made you feel uncomfortable at work? I’ve never had a job. Do you still watch South Park? I never did. I mean, I’ve seen bits here and there before because my brother used to watch it, but I was never into it myself. Tell me one movie you’ve seen recently that sucked: My mom, brother, and I recently watched this movie on Netflix called, The Platform. It had potential and was interesting at first, but the ending was just... no. It seemed abrupt and I was just really confused. Have you ever carved something into a dinner booth somewhere? No. When’s the last time you were carded at a bar? When I last went to the bar, which was almost 10 years ago. Do you smoke little cigars? Have you ever tried them? Nooo. You’re babysitting, what do you expect per hour for pay? Pfft, no I’m not babysitting. What’s the last thing you returned at a store? I very rarely return things so I have no idea. It’s been a long time. What’s the name of the last cat you pet? I don’t even recall the last time I petted a cat. Do you still look at clouds and make shapes of them? I haven’t in a long time. If you had to dye your hair for one year, what color would you pick? I already do, I dye it red. Who’s got your heart? Me. What’s your television addiction? I have several shows that I’m into. Have you ever stringed green beans before? No. What do you do to make yourself more relaxed when you’re nervous? It’s hard to calm myself when I’m anxious, but I try to distract by talking to someone, listening to ASMR, watching TV or something on YouTube, or reading.  Do you cook? If so, what’s the last thing you made? The only thing I cook is ramen. Oh wait actually I made a grilled cheese sandwich the other day. ha.  Have you ever had any painful dental work done? If so, what? Yeah, a few things. How do you usually spend your Saturdays? I spend all my days and nights the same, really. Do you make your own jewelry or clothing? Last year I briefly got into making beaded bracelets. I made a few. What’s your favorite thing to do when you’re bored? I do the same things everyday whether I’m bored or not: spend time on my social medias, watch YouTube, read, watch TV, scroll through Tumblr, do surveys, just lie there.... ha. Somedays just feel like they’re dragging and going by extra slow and the things I listed above that I like doing just don’t cut it so I just lie there mindlessly watching TV or go to sleep. Do you use drawing to describe what you’re feeling? No. Do you like the smell of new school supplies? As a kid I did. Like getting a new box of crayons. Do you give everything you do 100%? No. I certainly haven’t with life... Do you shop at any independent music stores? No. I don’t shop at any music stores. How do you feel about mainstream music? I like a lot of it.

What song lyrics describe your mood at the moment? *shrug* Do you have healthy eating habits? No. My eating habits are messed up. I have issues with appetite and other issues.

If you could transform into any kind of animal, what animal would you be? A dog. Are you superstitious? If so, what are you superstitious about? I do the knock on wood thing, but it’s just out of habit, really. If you could travel anywhere in the world where would it be? There’s so many places I’d like to visit. What food disgusts you the most? I don’t do seafood at all. What is your favorite thing to cook? Ramen. One place you would never want to get lost in in the dark? I wouldn’t want to get lost anywhere in the dark. :O Are you claustrophobic? Yes. What is your worst flaw? Oh where to start. One thing that always creeps you out? ALL bugs. What is your biggest fear? Losing loved ones, death, never getting better/getting worse, never doing anything with my life and just wasting away... If you could be reincarnated, would you come back as another human or an animal? If an animal, what kind? I don’t believe in reincarnation. Ideal way you’d like to die? Obviously painlessly, but jeez. If you could be roommates with anyone of your choice, who would you pick? I like living with my family. What is the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard? Uh, a lot of things. Your favorite kind of dog? I love doggos, but I definitely have a special thing for Labs and German Shepherds. Do you have any scars? If so, how many? I have a lot of scars. I’m not going to count them. What is your favorite scary movie to watch in the dark? I don’t watch them in the dark. Unless I’m at the theater, obviously. I love scary movies, though. Would you rather be buried or cremated when you die? Cremated. What is your favorite thing to drink? Alcoholic and non alcoholic? Coffee and Starbucks Doubleshot energy drinks. That’s also coffee, but you know what I mean. I don’t have a favorite alcoholic drink, I don’t drink. What is your favorite food around the holidays? I love either ham or turkey depending on the holiday and mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing, and rolls. Easiest way to scare you? I’m such a jumpy, easily scarable (it’s a word, shh) person so you could really just say hi and I’ll jump. haha. Like my back faces my bedroom door and if I don’t hear anyone coming in or they just poke their head in to say something I’ll jump. lmao. Tell me one of your biggest secrets? Nah. What was your last nightmare about? It’s been awhile since I’ve had one, thankfully.
