On September 15th, Hells Headbangers is set to unveil a special cassette tape release featuring a total of ten albums and one EP from the iconic death metal titans, CANNIBAL CORPSE
These tape editions will be extremely limited, with only 300 copies available for each, and they will boast unique all-over print designs on the shells, making them an absolute must-have for collectors and fans alike.
Since their inception in 1988, it’s arguable that no other band has wielded as much influence and resilience as CANNIBAL CORPSE. While many of their peers from the early days have either disbanded or softened their sound, CANNIBAL CORPSE has remained a steadfast flagbearer for the unadulterated art of death metal.
It’s truly remarkable that, after unleashing 16 albums and relentless global touring, the band stands as vital and powerful as ever. It’s a rarity to hear someone utter the phrase, “I only like their early stuff,” when it comes to CANNIBAL CORPSE. With this in mind, and as longtime admirers of the band, Hells Headbangers is thrilled to announce the limited-edition cassette releases of the following essential CANNIBAL CORPSE recordings, all featuring the inimitable frontman George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher:
* Vile (1996)
* Gallery Of Suicide (1998)
* Bloodthirst (1999)
* Gore Obsessed (1999)
* Worm Infested EP (2003)
* The Wretched Spawn (2004)
* Kill (2006)
* Evisceration Plague (2009)
* Torture (2012)
* A Skeletal Domain (2014)
* Red Before Black (2017)
While there may be a legion of fans who cherish the Chris Barnes-fronted era of the band, it’s equally undeniable that CANNIBAL CORPSE became even more sinister and deadly with Corpsegrinder at the helm, consistently delivering unapologetic death metal devoid of passing trends.
In fact, one could argue that any of these albums served as a gateway for newer generations of death metal enthusiasts, thereby cementing CANNIBAL CORPSE‘s legendary status and influencing countless bands in their wake.
Hells Headbangers, in official partnership with Metal Blade Records, is honored to reintroduce these 11 pivotal CANNIBAL CORPSE recordings on cassette tape, paying homage to the band’s macabre aesthetic. Ordering details can be found here. CANNIBAL CORPSE‘s sixteenth studio opus, “Chaos Horrific,” is scheduled for release on September 22 through Metal Blade Records.
Since their inception in 1988, CANNIBAL CORPSE has stood at the forefront of death metal, shaping and defining the genre. In 2021, they raised the bar yet again with “Violence Unimagined.” Now, in 2023, marking the band’s thirty-fifth anniversary, they return with its formidable successor, the equally monstrous “Chaos Horrific,” ushering in a new chapter in their storied legacy.
Written shortly after the conclusion of the “Violence Unimagined” sessions, “Chaos Horrific” carries echoes of its predecessor. Guitarist Erik Rutan, who has now produced six CANNIBAL CORPSE albums, starting with 2006’s “Kill,” makes his mark once again as a full-fledged member, having officially joined in 2020. The album was meticulously recorded at Rutan‘s Mana Studio in their home state of Florida, providing a comfortable and productive environment for the band to deliver their best work.
