''Eaten Back to Life'' is the debut album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse. It was released on 17 August 1990 through Metal Blade Records. The album was banned in Germany (censored versions were not available, but the ban was revoked in June 2006) and other countries because of the extreme nature of the lyrics. Glen Benton of Deicide and Francis H. Howard of Opprobrium (then known as Incubus) perform back-up vocals on "Mangled" and "A Skull Full of Maggots".
The following statement can be found in the inlay of this album:
"This album is dedicated to the memory of Alfred Packer, the first American cannibal (R.I.P.)"
This album has stronger influences of thrash metal than their future releases, as well as a slightly varied vocal style. Their trademark style wasn't present until their following release Butchered at Birth.
The remastered version includes a video of "Born In a Casket (live)" as well as different color scheme on the cover art. - Wikipedia
