Originally released in 1991, Butchered at Birth established Cannibal Corpse as one of the most extreme forces in American death metal. Their second studio album marked a significant progression from Eaten Back to Life, introducing an even more brutal sound, increasingly complex arrangements and the unmistakable guttural vocals of Chris Barnes. The result was a relentless death metal masterpiece that helped shape the future of the genre.
Tracks such as “Meat Hook Sodomy”, “Gutted” and “Vomit the Soul” demonstrate the band's uncompromising approach to speed, aggression and technical precision. Crushing guitar riffs, relentless drumming and Scott Burns' raw production create an intense and disturbing atmosphere throughout the album. Combined with its notorious cover artwork, Butchered at Birth became one of the most recognizable and influential releases in early brutal death metal.
This special 2026 reissue on Picture Disc vinyl brings the legendary album back in a striking collector's edition. Featuring the iconic artwork printed directly onto the record, this release is an essential addition to any Cannibal Corpse collection and a must-have for fans of classic, uncompromising death metal.
