Eaten Back to Life

Eaten Back to Life is the debut album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse. It was released on 17 August 1990 through Metal Blade Records. The album was banned in Germany (censored versions were not available, but the ban was revoked in June 2006) and other countries because of the violent cover and the extreme nature of the lyrics. The following statement can be found in the inlay of this album: "This album is dedicated to the memory of Alfred Packer, the first American cannibal (R.I.P.)" This album has stronger influences of thrash metal than their future releases, as well as a slightly varied vocal style. Their trademark style wasn't present until their following release Butchered at Birth.
