Tomb of The Mutilated is the third studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse. It was released in 1992 through Metal Blade Records and is the last album featuring founding guitarist Bob Rusay. The album was banned in Germany until June 2006, due to the extreme nature of the lyrics.
Because the liner notes on Tomb of the Mutilated feature quotations from American serial killer Albert Fish, Fish is often incorrectly credited with being the voice at the beginning of "Addicted to Vaginal Skin". However, the taped confession heard at the beginning of the song most likely belongs to the "Genesee River Killer" Arthur Shawcross.[1]
The song "Hammer Smashed Face" was featured during the band's cameo appearance in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and was also released as a downloadable single in the video game Rock Band. The song "I Cum Blood" is also featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned on the Liberty City Hardcore station.
Overview
Reviewers praised the album, heavy metal webzine, Kicked in the Face stated "I loved every second of it. This is a must have for any Cannibal Corpse fan." "It would be hard to pick out the good or the bad tracks on this one because, well, they're all pretty damn good."[2]
While Metal Storm announced "the music here is a little more complex and better elaborated, the effort is shown in songs like "Hammer Smashed Face" with maddening and unforgettable riffs, a crushing bass playing, and incredibly fast drumming, and "I Cum Blood" showing incredible pulsations" "a high-quality album in general, really one of the greatest albums in Cannibal Corpse history and maybe in death metal history too".[3]
The recording of this album was slightly different than the previous two. Guitarist Bob Rusay was not developing musically in the same way the rest of the band was. He also was a less talented rhythm player than Jack Owen and the band didn't feel he would be able to play the new songs as well as was expected of him. Thus, all of the rhythm guitar was played by Jack Owen and Bob Rusay only played his guitar solos on the album.
