enemyofgod72: “This cover and the Kill cover make it seem to me that CC is sick and tired of having their albums banned.”

I think you’re right. Cannibal Corpse has taken so much shit from all the soccer moms, P.T.A. parents and ice cream social families over the years. They are tired of hearing from people like Joe Liberman and Bob Dole about how their music “violates human decency.” Did anybody see the senate hearing about violence in music, with senators reading verbatim lyrics from songs like Fucked with a Knife, etc. It’s ridiculous…
Violent album art or not, you have to respect CC. 20 years of fucking brutality. Whoever is saying they need to call it a career – you suck. Kill is fucking badass, in fact it’s my favorite album of theirs. They are at the top of their game. needless to say i’m looking forward to this new album

I find it hilarious that you’re saying they should call it a career after admitting the album is good, but because you don’t like the cover, you’re going to bash them. I thought I was a metal snob. You guys are just fucking stupid. If you knew more about it, there’s an inside cover that Alex Webster mentions will satisfy the over-critical douche-baggery that clearly defines you

1 – El is retarded.

2 – It’s not as gory, but agreeing with everyone else, Kill was a pretty good album and the cover for that was kinda dumb.

3 – Not for nothing, but the artwork for the DVD was pretty fuckin intense.

4 – Doesn’t this come out January 27th?

Evisceration is the removal of internal organs, especially those in the abdominal cavity. If you didn’t notice that the billy idol looking dude appears to have a scalpel in his hand. The guy on the left also has his abdominal organs removed. The album cover may not be as gory as you mayexpect from CC, but they at least have an ablum cover that goes with the name of the album

I think that’s actually Billy Idol on the right…

I think it is quite bitchin! I see it as an evolution in their art. It is definitely CC but well polished. Plus the music is sik!

This cover and the Kill cover make it seem to me that CC is sick and tired of having their albums banned. Some countries don’t even allow CC to play some of their material live as if someone going to a CC show is going to be offended. Kill was awesome so I’m looking forward to the album regardless of the cover art.

What the fuck? From the first time I layed my eyes on it, I thought that was an exceptionally awesome album cover. Maybe I’m fucked in the head.

since when has Cannibal ever been solely about album covers? its the music that really matters in the first place. as long as their covers don’t have bunnies and candy canes, it doesnt matter.

cant wait for EP. and cant wait to see CC fucking live

That cover is fine. Plus, there is going to be gnarly gruesome artwork on the inside apparently. I guess it’s kind of like a hot chick who doesn’t wear revealing clothing…you have to take it home and open up the packaging to see the good stuff.

Are you kidding El? God Forbid’s new album art is some of the best artwork I’ve seen on an album! I like it better than John John Baizley’s stuff.

This artwork frankly pisses me off. There are a lot of struggling artists that would kill to make an album cover for CC, and this is the kind of thing they choose?

Well it beats God Forbids new album cover.

Yeah, I’ve heard a few other people tell me the cover is pretty lame. All I can say is that it’s better than the cover for “Kill”.

That cover art is pretty fucking lame. I’m sure the music is fine considering what it is. Call me crazy but maybe it’s time for Cannibal Corpse to call it a carear.
