"With a career spanning nearly four decades, American death metal progenitors Cannibal Corpse have been one of the most infamous, enduring bands in the genre. With 16 full-length records, many banned and censored for their grotesque album cover art, and song titles and lyrics that sparked political outrage, Cannibal Corpse built its reputation on extremity. But this band isn't just a cult fascination for the underground anymore."
"You know, as much as it's a great thing to be able to do the stadiums and arenas and things like that when we get the opportunity, we've always played smaller places for so many years. Those, for sure, are just more comfortable for us. Kind of a mid-size place, like House of Blues, is a perfect example of a mid-size venue that we're very comfortable in. But,"
Cannibal Corpse has maintained a nearly four-decade presence in death metal with 16 full-length records and a reputation for grotesque album art and provocative lyrics that prompted bans and controversy. The band performs sold-out shows across mid-size clubs, arenas and stadiums and has opened for major metal acts. Social media, TikTok clips and memes have introduced the band to new generations and influenced younger metal bands. Classical music and horror films inform song titles and lyrics. Brutal touring exerts physical tolls, and the band preserves a long relationship with Metal Blade Records while entering broader pop-cultural awareness.
