They are one of the few death metal bands known in the mainstream; this is due to their extreme, Gorn-filled lyrics, which have caused immense controversy in several countries. They have had little TV or radio exposure, but remain one of the most popular (if not the most popular) death metal bands. They are certainly among the top-selling, and are considered one of the most influential death metal bands of all time, pushing forward the subgenre of "brutal death metal." | |

| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: While Butchered at Birth had some songs about sexual fetishes like "Meat Hook Sodomy", Tomb of the Mutilated made them into a common theme (in gory style, as always); the only track of the album without sexual content was "Hammer Smashed Face". The following albums would continue with them in a progressively reduced proportion, though they would be gone by Gore Obsessed. | |

The Cameo: Glen Benton from Deicide does back-up vocals on "Mangled", "A Skull Full of Maggots" and "Vomit the Soul." Erik Rutan (prior to joining) did guitar solos on "Unnatural" and "In the Midst of Ruin", and backing vocals on "Only One Will Die". | |

Bloodier and Gorier | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_1f963842 | comment |
Bloodier and Gorier/Darker and Edgier: They managed to do this to death metal, of all genres. The Barnes era has been considered this to fans, in comparison to the Corpsegrinder era. While the first few albums with Corpsegrinder retained the common sexual themes introduced in Tomb of the Mutilated and The Bleeding, starting with Gore Obsessed most songs were just about violence. Within the Barnes era, Butchered at Birth is considerably grizzlier and heavier than Eaten Back to Life due to discarding much of that album's thrash influences in favor of a denser, more pounding sound. Tomb of the Mutilated is likewise this to Butchered itself, going even farther into lyrical depravity with a much more brutal death-tinged sound. While their artwork isn't as graphic as most, A Skeletal Domain, Red Before Black, Violence Unimagined and Chaos Horrific are considerably heavier than all their other albums, in addition to using dreadful high-pitch notes more frequently. Red Before Black is also more lyrically gruesome than usual for the Corpsegrinder-era albums (with "Remaimed" sticking out the most), though it's nowhere near the Barnes era's level. | |

I Love the Dead: The band has much to say on the trope. Their most explicit cases might be the songs "I Cum Blood" and "Necropedophile", the latter of which is exactly what it sounds like and doesn't even spare the most unholy details. | |

New Sound Album | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_22093e9b | comment |
New Sound Album: Vile was the first album to feature their current vocalist Corpsegrinder, and also had lower tunings (B-flat, aided by Owen switching to a seven-string; Barrett and O'Brien also use this tuning, but are strictly six-string players; Rutan is the only other guitarist to use seven-string) and more technical songwriting. | |

Even some albums that don't have one, like Bloodthirst ("Unleashing the Bloodthirsty") and Kill ("The Time to Kill is Now"), will have a title similar to one of the tracks, mostly in the form of a shortened version. | |

Trash of the Titans | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_24c6f22e | comment |
Trash of the Titans: The house that Alex Webster rented in Buffalo with several friends back during the days of Beyond Death was absolutely disgusting; as a bunch of guys in their late teens and early twenties, they cared way more about coming home from work to get drunk and high and blast metal than cleaning, and it got so filthy at one point that they attracted a cockroach infestation. | |

Nightmare Fetishist: As with many other death metal bands, the gore-related lyrics. Most of us would find the idea of knives being repeatedly inserted into human vaginas and used as sexual aids deeply distressing; Cannibal Corpse apparently find it amusing, given their song "Fucked with a Knife". | |

Longest Song Goes Last | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_2bf54826 | comment |
Longest Song Goes Last: Tomb of the Mutilated closes with the 4:53 "Beyond the Cemetery", the album's only track to surpass the length of four minutes and a half. Vile ends with the 4:24 "Monolith", which is only four seconds longer than the second-longest track, the 4:20 "Bloodlands". The closing track of Kill, "Infinite Misery", is the only one that's longer than 4 minutes, at the very close length of 4:01. | |

Minimalistic Cover Art | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_2e22f7d4 | comment |
Minimalistic Cover Art: Kill and Evisceration Plague, with Red Before Black also being a downplayed example. Kill was that way largely by accident; the original piece they got back from Vincent Locke was apparently excellent, but wasn't really suitable as a cover piece, so it was relegated to the album's internal packaging and they did the best that they could with what little time was available. | |

Vocal Evolution | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_2ef005ab | comment |
Vocal Evolution: Chris Barnes's vocals on Eaten Back to Life were already deep and inhuman-sounding for their time. He would go even deeper on subsequent works, to the point of practically being subsonic on Tomb of the Mutilated. His vocals became a little higher-pitched on The Bleeding, presaging the further changes his voice would experience in Six Feet Under's discography. | |

Older Than They Look | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_2f36d97 | comment |
Older Than They Look: Corpsegrinder looks like he's in his mid or maybe late 30's. He's actually 51 as of 2021, making him less than two years younger than former vocalist Chris Barnes (who still looks good for being in his mid-50s but is visibly middle-aged). This also holds true for most of the band; Rob is the only one who is starting to show his age (he recently reached the age of 50) by way of an ever-growing bald spot. | |

| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: When Corpsegrinder was asked in an interview if he ever spoke with Chris Barnes, he said that he did, but that as of a few years prior to said interview, they were not on speaking terms anymore. Apparently, Chris blocked Corpsegrinder on Instagram because he thought he heard him talk shit about him on stage, which Corpsegrinder said he may have done, but did not intend to set him off, and that since then, they haven't talked. Aside from that, no further details were shared, and it's likely that Corpsegrinder nor Chris will ever tell the whole story. | |

Strictly Formula | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_3f1aadeb | comment |
Strictly Formula: In the over 30 years that they've been releasing albums, they have had no real meaningful stylistic shifts. When someone buys a Cannibal Corpse album, they know what they're getting: a bunch of fast, thrashy death metal songs plus a few slower, more groovy or atmospheric tracks, and (depending on what Pat O'Brien was feeling during the writing process) maybe a Technical Death Metal song or two. While most albums have some sort of individual motif or feel to distinguish them, that largely depends on who did the bulk of the writing, and they won't feature any major deviations from their established style. They have been accused of being formulaic due to this, but the typical fan response is that while they may be predictable, they're so good at what they do and have such strong chemistry as writers that it doesn't matter. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Eaten Back to Life has a more thrash metal-esque tone to it, less guttural vocals from Chris Barnes, and his lyrics that were still gruesome but nowhere near as over-the-top as they were on the following three releases. This is because a fair bit of the album was comprised of leftovers from their previous bands (Leviathan and Tirant Sin) that Chris, Paul Mazurkiewicz, and Bob Rusay had sitting around and wanted to use. Really, all the releases with Chris could count, due largely to his different songwriting style. While Corpsegrinder doesn't write lyricsnote Not completely true, as he has credits on three songs, but three songs out of the 100+ that they've done with him in the band is an infinitesimal amount. and, at most, sometimes asks one of the lyric writers to tweak something if he really isn't feeling the vocal lines, Chris wrote all of his own lyrics and vocal lines, which he still does to this day in his current band. | |

We Used to Be Friends | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_51a3ba7 | comment |
We Used to Be Friends: Bob Rusay. They made it clear on Centuries of Torment that while his ever-increasing sloppiness forced their hand in firing him, it hurt to have to do so and they honestly wanted to stay friends with the dude. Rusay, however, took it extremely badly, cut everyone in the band out of his life, and left music altogether (going so far as to reject royalty checks), and while Alex, Paul, Jack, and Chris have all tried to extend olive branches to him at various points over the years, he has consistently ignored them. This also eventually became true with Barnes as he became more and more hostile towards the band and particularly Fisher over the course of the 2010s, which culminated in Barnes publicly insulting modern death metal and, by extent, Fisher in 2022, while Fisher famously responded by saying "You said it, not me" with a smirk on his face and more than a hint of agreement in his voice when fans chanted "FUCK CHRIS BARNES" at a show around the same time. | |

The Stoner: Chris Barnes. If the band's account of his departure is to be believed, he apparently wasn't careful with it and ruined his throat, rendering him unable to pull off his gutturals consistently. As of his time in Six Feet Under, he is now infamous for being a very inconsistent vocalist both live and in studio thanks to this. However, he allegedly quit smoking weed in 2022 for unknown reasons. | |

No Zombie Cannibals: The band's name is an aversion, as Alex Webster has described it to journalists as "basically a zombie that eats other zombies". Considering that their infamy in an otherwise relatively underground music scene comes from their over-the-top gory aesthetic and songs with titles such as such as "Mummified in Barbed Wire", "A Skull Full of Maggots", and "Entrails Ripped from a Virgin's Cunt", this is an appropriate title. | |

Signature Style | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_831164fe | comment |
Signature Style: All of their songwriters from Vile onwards (when they moved towards an individual contributor per song rather than collaborative setup) have distinct styles: Alex Webster tends to write the most straightforward songs, is generally the grooviest writer, and is particularly fond of technical pedalpoint riffing. Rob Barrett usually writes fast, riff-oriented death/thrash songs with anthemic choruses. Erik Rutan writes their heaviest and most dissonant material, often featuring major tempo changes. Jack Owen wrote their quirkiest and most experimental songs, with lots of unconventional approaches to riffing and song structure. Pat O'Brien wrote their most technical and demanding material, and enjoyed using dissonant arpeggios in his riffs. | |

| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_96e5792c | comment |
Moral Guardians: The band was a favorite target of them in the mid 90's, coming under attack from both the left and the right for their lyrics and cover art. Their albums were outright banned in Australia from 1996 to 2006 (though this was because censorship laws were being reformed in there at the time), their first three albums were also banned in Germany until 2006, and they were prohibited from performing any songs from those albums while touring there. Unfortunately, this appears to be still ongoing, as there has been a recent effort to ban them from touring in Russia. | |

Big Fun: George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher. Standing tall at 6'1, his long hair, shadowed eyes, and thick girth (and neck) makes him look like someone who's not to be fucked with. But he's also a World of Warcraft player, a loving husband and father to his two daughters, and a Nice Guy overall. | |

13 Is Unlucky | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_9a692ae9 | comment |
13 Is Unlucky: A couple of their songs use this symbolically in relation to the people who are dead or killed. "Hollowed Bodies" is about the discovery of numerous dead body stacks, each of which has exactly 13 corpses. In "Summoned for Sacrifice", a group of 13 torturers progressively mutilate a victim to death, under the order of "the elders" according to the lyrics. | |

Careful with That Axe: Several of their songs have sudden and particularly bloodcurdling screams, including "Blood Drenched Execution" and "Devoured by Vermin". "Blunt Force Castration" opens very suddenly and brutally with a massive growl, and could be considered a partial example of this. | |

Eaten Alive/Devoured by the Horde: This is what happens to the protagonist in "Devoured by Vermin", who falls prey to a pack of rats. Even though his heart, lungs, and other vital organs are being ripped out, he can still feel pain. The protagonist of "Pit of Zombies" is eaten by an horde of zombies in the end. The cover art of Gore Obsessed, the album from which "Pit of Zombies" comes, also features a similar depiction. | |

Thrash Metal: Eaten Back to Life was as much thrash as it was death metal, and thrash overtones are pretty common in their work as a whole; Red Before Black, in particular, was noted as being a bit of a return to their death/thrash roots. In terms of songwriting, the songs that Rob Barrett writes tend to cleave close to thrash. | |

Serial Escalation | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
Serial Escalation: The increasing technical proficiency of the bassists that Alex Webster had to share the stage with in Cannibal Corpse's early days wound up being what drove him to achieve the extreme level of technical proficiency that he is famous for now. At the start, he was only using two fingers (by his own admission, he was up to a pretty good speed level with them), but when he saw Tony Choy (who was in Cynic at the time and played with three fingers) and Jason Blachowicz of Malevolent Creation (who played with four), he realized that he really needed to step it up and made the transition to three, using a specific technique that he learned from Steve Di Giorgio (then of Sadus) to achieve even greater levels of speed while maintaining greater control. | |

In Spite of a Nail | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_d243518d | comment |
In Spite of a Nail: Regardless of who pulled the trigger first, Barnes was not going to stay in the band. They wanted to write more technical and complex material (which he hated) and were getting sick of his declining vocal ability, while Barnes was much happier with Six Feet Under and knew full well that what he wanted out of Cannibal was not what the rest of the band wanted and they were going to do what they wanted to do with or without him. The story goes that when they called him up while he was on tour with Six Feet Under to tell him that they had found a new guy and his services were no longer needed, his response was along the lines of "it's all good, I was going to call you after this run ended to tell you I quit anyways". They stayed acquaintances for a while, but a gulf eventually formed, and the two camps currently don't talk. | |

Live Album | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_d29f109e | comment |
Live Album: Live Cannibalism and Torturing and Eviscerating Live. The latter is a weird take on the trope, since it comprises a single recorded concert (as does Live Cannibalism), but instead of the tracks being sorted in the order the band played them, they're sorted by the chronological order of the studio albums they're on, with one track per studio album (thus featuring twelve tracks out of all the albums released up to the time of the live album, the latest being Torture). For example, track 1 ("A Skull Full of Maggots") is from Eaten Back to Life, track 2 ("Gutted") is from Butchered at Birth, track 3 ("Hammer Smashed Face") is from Tomb of the Mutilated, and so on. | |

Technical Death Metal: Some of their later work falls under this, particularly Pat O'Brien's songs, and Torture is probably the closest that they've ever actually come to making a full tech album. "Frantic Disembowelment," in particular, is notoriously complex and demanding; the band only played it live once and dropped it because the crowd reaction was not anywhere near enthusiastic enough to justify keeping a song that is apparently physically painful to play on the setlist. | |

Gorn: In an aversion, Cannibal Corpse are surprisingly lacking in gory lyrics. Their lyrics have never been about gore, and focus on topical subjects such as government corruption and the environment. On the more serious side of things, they have had a couple of songs that focus less on gore and more on the supernatural/paranormal side of things such as "When Death Replaces Life", "A Skeletal Domain", and "Shedding My Human Skin". | |

Groin Attack | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: "Orgasm Through Torture" and "Blunt Force Castration" are about groin attacks on men. "Addicted to Vaginal Skin" and the horrifying "Fucked With a Knife" are about groin attacks on women. | |

Harsh Vocals: Chris Barnes had far deeper and huskier growls while Corpsegrinder has faster ones, while making more use of the occasional Metal Scream. | |

Alternate Album Cover | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_fa77309d | comment |
Alternate Album Cover: Most of their albums, save for the Minimalistic Cover Art ones like Kill, have a censored cover art to go with the standard ones due to their usually graphic nature. These censored artworks are used for releases in countries with restrictions on the cover arts regarding retail, such as Australia, and Rhythm Games which feature the band's songs like Rock Band. | |

Gross-Up Close-Up | |
| Cannibal Corpse (Music) / int_fdfd52d9 | comment |
Gross-Up Close-Up: The censored cover of the album The Bleeding is that of the bloody chest of the man who's being zombified in the normal artwork. The censored covers of Vile and Violence Unimagined can be seen as more unnerving than the regular ones by some, since they zoom in on the main characters' faces. | |
