if i remember good, i didn't posted this one here, in dead-donkey...

(those comments are not mine)

Eaten Back To Life: 1990

Quote:

You can’t walk past an album cover like that and even the title itself is pure gold.

Butchered at Birth: 1991

Tomb of the Mutilated: 1992

Quote:

Cannibal Corpse’s first alternate cover to feature artwork. Also the introduction of the Parental Advisory label standard.

Hammer Smashed Face: 1993

Quote:

This was just an EP but the band was featured in Ace Ventured Pet Detective playing this very song. It’s also probably the worst of all the covers and it’s hard to decide which one is worse. Again kudos for the great song titles.

The Bleeding: 1994

Quote:

The most conceptual cover and it’s an censored one. Its a very tight crop of the man’s bleeding chest.

Vile: 1996

Quote:

Nice and simple crop, some head and chest surgery and you have your alternate/censored cover. Cannibal Corpse also dropped their old logo for a slightly more refined version.

Gallery of Suicide: 1998

Quote:

I actually prefer this censored cover but it doesn’t fit with the title of the album.

Bloodthirst: 1999

Quote:

This is probably the most gory alternate/censored cover produced for CC.

Live Cannibalism: 2000

Quote:

Another cropping effort.

Gore Obsessed: 2002

Quote:

As a piece of art I feel the censored version is stronger. I guess CC don’t really wan to reply on their fans imagination for the covers.

Worm Infested: 2003

Quote:

This is the only cover I haven’t found a censored or alternate cover for. It may be that it was only released as a limited edition EP for sale only online.

The Wretched Spawn: 2004

Quote:

This was the cover featured in Metal: A Headbangers Journey. They definitely upped the ante with this one.

Quote:

Another copped alternate cover. I wonder if the artist himself suggest’s this or the band do this to save time and money.

Kill: 2006

Quote:

This is the latest cover and no it’s not a censored or alternate cover. It’s the actual one. The artwork below was on the inside. Has Cannibal Corpse succumb to the pressures of censors or did they think this awful piece of typography would cut the mustard? Even more confusing is this artwork inside would be suitable for display everywhere and is probably the nicest piece for CC to date.

Quote:

All props to Vince Locke the actual artist behind the horror cover art. The band has shown great loyalty by using him for all their covers.

And if you have never heard a Cannibal Corpse album then Youtube is the best way to experience them.

Cool stuff. I once had a T-Shirt with this image on it:

I would never buy any of their albums. All songs sound the same to me, forget that I don't even understand any of the word he's "talking". :lol:

Add me to the list of people who think CC make much better album covers than they do music. And the covers ain't that great. :lol:

Xoal

I like the song called I Cum Blood.

/sarcasm
