7. Vile (1996)
“To me this is a classic album, very complete. It wields the traditional gorey Cannibal Corpse album artwork by Vince Locke, something that’s becoming a bit missed in later work. The ambience in this record is very dark, cold, and grinding. It churns through songs at various tempos but has a great feel to it, I can’t really explain it other than nothing really feels out of place.”
6. Eaten Back To Life (1990)
“Eaten back to life is a classic debut album that launch the new wave of death metal in the early 90’s! And out of all the death metal bands in the early 90’s cannibal corpse was the most heaviest,sickest,and offensive. Some people thought the gore lyrics and the offensive artwork was to shocking for them so they strived away from this band and never gave them a listen and stuck with other bands such as sepultera,obituary,morbid angel,(good bands)and others.”

5. Kill (2006)
“The title of this album is Kill. There you have it. One word. That is all that needs to be said. That sort of succinct attitude reflects itself in the music of Cannibal Corpse. It is brutal, straight to the point and deleightfully intense.”
4. Red Before Black (2017)
“Not only is Cannibal Corpse’s “Red Before Black” another gruesome slab of pure extreme death metal brutality, but it is also full proof that 30 years into their ‘gory’ career, these gore-obsessed legends still remain the head of their class with absolutely no end in sight whatsoever. Bottom line, if you’ve been a fan of Cannibal Corpse right from the get go, then there’s certainly no reason for you to not own this album.”
3. Butchered At Birth (1991)
“The guitar tone in this album sounds like a saw just sawing through people. Chris Barnes vocals are just so gut wrenching. The only disappointment i have for this album just like Tomb Of The Mutilated, is the bass. Its more supporting in this album but Tomb its like bare bones. All the tracks on this album are simply killer. Buy this album to add to your collection. You will not be let down.”
2. The Bleeding (1994)
“This album blows that one away by comparison. It’s much more brutal guitar work and overall faster riffery and drumming make it a more intense listening experience. The vocals are the classic death metal growl/roar that the genre is known for and the lyrical content is exactly what I was expecting. This album rocked a squirrel’s leg right off its corpse, it was that brutal. It’s good music for making Metal Chili, drinking beer, driving a bit too fast, celebrating a successful hunt, etc. I can’t compare it to any other Cannibal Corpse albums since this is the only one I have, but if you like Death Metal you’ll like this one.”
1. Tomb Of The Mutilated (1992)
“The band puts out some of their best material on this album: Riff-oriented, breakneck speed, guttural growling, headbanging-worthy, spine-tingling bass guitar work, the works. I type the descriptive elements of the album in this format because I feel it suits the album: a splatter of gory metal that has no rulebook that needs to be followed, and it never sounded better. With such masterpieces as “Hammer Smashed Face”, “I C*m Blood” and “Beyond The Cemetery”, this is old-school death metal at its finest.”
