On October 20, 2024, Frankfurt’s Batschkapp hosted a night of intense metal as Cannibal Corpse, Municipal Waste, Immolation, and Schizophrenia delivered explosive performances that left the crowd energized. Each band brought its own unique vibe to the stage, but it was Cannibal Corpse who stole the show with their brutal, no-frills approach to death metal.
Schizophrenia kicked off the evening with their fierce brand of thrash-death, setting a raw and aggressive tone for the night. Immolation followed, enveloping the room in their atmospheric, dark death metal sound that resonated with the crowd. Next, Municipal Waste amped up the energy with a high-paced, thrash-filled set that had the audience moshing and headbanging nonstop, offering a moment of chaotic fun in contrast to the darker tones of the other acts.
Finally, the moment arrived for Cannibal Corpse. As our photographer noted, “Cannibal Corpse took the stage, no intro, no elaborate production—just pure death metal in its rawest form.” The band was relentless, pushing through a powerful set that felt like a steamroller with no mercy, only occasionally eased by frontman George „Corpsegrinder“ Fisher’s brief, gruff banter between songs. It was a performance of sheer might, displaying Cannibal Corpse’s mastery and intensity, a highlight that firmly stamped an unforgettable end to the evening.
