15 Year Killing Spree is a box set by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse.
The first disc of the boxed set contains songs from the Chris Barnes era, while the second disc includes songs sung by his replacement George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher. The third disc is a collection of rarities, including the band's 1989 demo Cannibal Corpse and 1995's Created to Kill (an EP of demo tracks for their fifth album Vile with Barnes on vocals) in their entirety, as well as demo tracks for their 1998 album Gallery of Suicide and three song covers.
In addition to the three CDs and DVD which are listed below, this boxed set also contains a poster of the band. Two thousand of the posters that were shipped with the boxed set were autographed by the band. The boxed set also contains a booklet with history and commentary by the band members as well as pictures from the band's history.
15 Year Killing Spree also contains a comic book depicting the story behind one of Cannibal Corpse's most famous songs "Unleashing The Bloodthirsty" from their album Bloodthirst.
The cover art contains demons and skeletons placed in windows in a castle surrounded by a moat of blood. Observant Cannibal Corpse fans will notice that the cover art, drawn by the usual artist Vincent Locke, draws from the themes and features characters from previous Cannibal Corpse albums.
