Cannibal Corpse is an American death metal band, formed in Buffalo, New York in 1988. The band has released ten studio albums, one boxed set, and one live album. Although Cannibal Corpse has had virtually no radio or television exposure, a cult following began to build behind the group with albums such as 1991's Butchered at Birth and 1992's Tomb of the Mutilated. Cannibal Corpse reached over 1 million in record sales worldwide in 2003, including 558,929 in the United States, making them one of the biggest selling death metal bands of all time.
Cannibal Corpse draws influence from thrash metal bands such as Slayer, Anthrax, Kreator, Sodom, and other death metal bands like Morbid Angel, Autopsy, Death, and Obituary. Inspired by horror fiction stories and horror films, the band's controversial lyrics and album art have been subject to bans, songs have been banned individually, and at times live performances have been prohibited.

BIOGRAPHY

Cannibal Corpse was made up of members from three earlier Buffalo-area death metal bands, Beyond Death (Webster, Owen), Leviathan (Barnes), and Tirant Sin (Barnes, Rusay, Mazurkiewicz). The band played their first show at Buffalo's River Rock Cafe in April 1989, shortly after recording a five-song demo tape, Cannibal Corpse. Within a year of that first gig, the band was signed to Metal Blade Records, apparently after the label had seen a videotape of a live show, and their full-length debut album, Eaten Back to Life, was released in August 1990.
The band has had many line-up changes over the years. In 1993, founding member and guitarist Bob Rusay was dismissed from the group (after which he became a golf instructor) and was ultimately replaced by Malevolent Creation guitarist Rob Barrett. In 1995, singer Chris Barnes was dismissed since the band didn't think him a team player (becoming a member of Six Feet Under and later Torture Killer), and was replaced with Monstrosity's singer George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher.
In 1997, Barrett, who originally replaced Rusay on guitar, left Cannibal Corpse to rejoin his previous band Malevolent Creation. After Barrett left, he was replaced by guitarist Pat O’Brien, who first appeared on their 1998 release Gallery of Suicide. Founding member and guitarist Jack Owen left Cannibal Corpse in 2004 to spend more time on his second band, Adrift. He joined Deicide in late 2005. Jeremy Turner of Origin briefly replaced him as second guitarist on 2004's Tour of the Wretched. Barrett rejoined the band in 2005 and is featured on the album Kill, which was released in March 2006 on Metal Blade Records.
Writing for the next album began in November 2007, as presaged in an interview with bassist Alex Webster. Evisceration Plague will be Cannibal Corpse's eleventh studio album and is set to be released February 3, 2009.
