Cannibal Corpse – Vile CD | 1996 Death Metal Classic with Corpsegrinder Debut

Vile is the landmark fifth studio album from American death metal legends Cannibal Corpse, released in 1996 by Metal Blade Records. Notably, this is the first album to feature powerhouse vocalist George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher, who brought a new level of vocal intensity and rhythmic precision to the band’s already brutal sound.

With Vile, Cannibal Corpse took a step forward musically, blending relentless aggression with more complex song structures. Tracks like Devoured by Vermin, Bloodlands, and Disfigured showcase a band evolving beyond shock value—refining their technical craft without sacrificing their signature brutality.

While still steeped in gore and horror, both the artwork and lyrical themes on Vile were slightly more restrained than previous releases, reflecting a deliberate shift toward proving their credibility as serious musicians within the extreme metal scene.

A must-have for fans of classic death metal, Vile marked the beginning of a new era for Cannibal Corpse and remains a staple in their discography.
