Buffalo, United States (1988 – present)

Formed in Buffalo, NY in 1988, Cannibal Corpse helped found, manipulate and transcend the very boundaries of metal beginning with the scandalously controversial debut, Eaten Back To Life. Raising the eyebrows of inquisitive metal fans and incensed parents and politicians, the record - produced by Scott Burns at the now renowned Morrisound Studios - was more extreme and confrontational than anything the Death Metal genre had ever known. As a result of the band’s gruesome cover art, grisly lyrics and song titles like “Hammer Smashed Face,” “Meat Hook Sodomy” and “Addicted to Vaginal Skin,” follow-up records Butchered At Birth (1991) and Tomb Of The Mutilated (1992) were met with further contempt by the likes of such organized censorship leagues as the PMRC. In just three years, the sale of Cannibal Corpse merchandise was (temporarily) prohibited in Australia, Korea, New Zealand and Germany.

Proving technical dexterity, diabolic vocal grunts and a penchant for serial killers, zombies and gore of all shapes, sizes and textures, Cannibal Corpse won over the hearts of many a metal extremist and have since become a harrowing household name. Since the band’s inception they have sold millions of albums world wide and show no sign of slowing or bowing down to the ever changing metal genre. Massive tours throughout the U.S. and Europe as well as Australia and South America only underscored the band’s staying power…and all this with zero commercial radio presence and minimal video play (although the band did appear in the Hollywood blockbuster, Ace Ventura - Pet Detective).

    one of the most overrated, overexposed metal bands ever.

    Torture was mixed so fucking well. Alex's bass solo on The Strangulation Chair was also fantastic.

    Сиксы со своим Undead сейчас в туалете плавают по сравнению с каннибаловым Torture,если уж на то пошло.

    "Undead > Torture"-LOL

  • GasmaskAvenger

    Torture is a pretty good album. Keep in mind that this is coming from someone who found Cannibal Corpse's entire tenure with George Fisher to be rather underwhelming overall.

    'Every single song scares my friends' how is Death Metal scary? There are some Black Metal bands and dissonant and atmospheric Death Metal ones that come close to being creepy but even then, not really.
