Eaten Back to Life

Eaten Back to Life is the debut studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse. It was released on August 17, 1990, through Metal Blade Records. The album was recorded at Morrisound Recording in Tampa, Florida and was produced by Scott Burns. The album contains five re-recorded songs that were previously released on their 1989 demo. The album's cover artwork was created by comic book artist Vince Locke, and depicts a zombie mutilating and cannibalizing itself. Unlike the band's later albums, Eaten Back to Life features a sound that is rooted in thrash metal, drawing influence from bands such as Exodus, Sepultura and Dark Angel. Despite its primitive sound, it is now considered to be an essential release in the development of the death metal genre. The album's penultimate track "A Skull Full of Maggots" is a fan favorite, and remains a staple in the band's live set. Additionally, in recent years the album has appeared in popular culture.
