Cannibal Corpse is a five-piece American death metal band formed in 1988 in Buffalo, New York. In 1989, their self-titled demo drew the attention of Metal Blade Records, with whom they signed a contract to record their debut album Eaten Back to Life , which was released in 1990, followed by two studio albums, 1991's Butchered at Birth , and 1992's Tomb of the Mutilated . In 1993, lead guitarist Bob Rusay was fired, and was replaced by Rob Barrett, who joined the group in time to appear with the band in Jim Carrey's film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective .

Then, Monstrosity vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher took over as vocalist, with whom the band released Vile in 1996, resulting as the band's first album to appear on the Billboard 200 chart, debuting at number 151. On the next album, 1998's Gallery of Suicide , Rob Barrett was replaced by Pat O'Brien. In 1999, they released Bloodthirst , followed by the group's first live album, Live Cannibalism (2000).

As of 2008, their latest release is the DVD Centuries of Torment: The First 20 Years , containing a three-disc documentary with the band's history and several concert performances.
