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]], due to the violent cover and the extreme nature of the lyrics. Some consider the album to be a concept piece, based around the ritualistic murder of a girl, and the defiling of her corpse. Because the liner notes on ''Tomb of the Mutilated'' feature quotations from American [[serial killer]] [[Albert Fish]], he 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]].<ref>[http://www.tombofthemutilated.net/FAQ.html Cannibal Corpse FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> The song "[[Hammer Smashed Face]]" was featured during the band's cameo appearance in the film ''[[Ace Ventura: Pet Detective]]'', and downloadable content for the game ''[[Rock Band 2]]''. The song "I Cum Blood" is also featured in the video game ''[[Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned]]''. == 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."<ref>[http://www.kickedintheface.com/reviews/Cannibal_Corpse-Tomb_Of_The_Mutilated.htm Cannibal Corpse - Tomb Of The Mutilated review<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> Esteemed reviewers Jack Murray and Connur Joyce have both stated their belief that Tomb of the Mutilated is a high-concept album concerned with extreme necrophilia and sadism. Murray said "It's a very clever idea concerning the rape and murder of a young girl with a large knife, and continuing to rape the corpse until orgasm. This theme is particularly present in the last four tracks on the album.", while Joyce announced in Finnish metal magazine MUTALATE, "The album has heavy connotations throughout. It's definitely linked; especially in the last three tracks. The explicit nature in which Barnes grunts his way through the increasingly morbid lyrics certainly demonstrates the theme running through the album, that is to say the increasingly deteriorating mental state of the protagonist." 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".<ref>[http://www.metalstorm.ee/bands/album.php?album_id=447&band_id=68&bandname=Cannibal+Corpse Cannibal Corpse - Tomb Of The Mutilated - Metal Storm<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> == Track listing == All songs were written by [[Chris Barnes (musician)|Chris Barnes]] and [[Cannibal Corpse]]. {{Tracklisting | title1 = [[Hammer Smashed Face]] | length1 = 4:04 | title2 = I Cum Blood | length2 = 3:41 | title3 = Addicted to Vaginal Skin | length3 = 3:31 | title4 = Split Wide Open | length4 = 3:02 | title5 = Necropedophile | length5 = 4:05 | title6 = The Cryptic Stench | length6 = 3:57 | title7 = Entrails Ripped from a Virgin's Cunt | length7 = 4:15 | title8 = Post Mortal Ejaculation | length8 = 3:37 | title9 = Beyond the Cemetery | length9 = 4:53 | title10 = I Cum Blood (Live) | note10 = The 2002 remastered edition features this track as a bonus. | length10 = 4:13 }} ==Personnel== *[[Chris Barnes (musician)|Chris Barnes]] &ndash; vocals, lyrics *[[Jack Owen]] &ndash; rhythm and lead guitars *[[Bob Rusay]] &ndash; lead guitars *[[Alex Webster]] &ndash; bass guitars *[[Paul Mazurkiewicz]] &ndash; drums == References == {{reflist}} {{Cannibal Corpse}} [[Category:1992 albums]] [[Category:Cannibal Corpse albums]] [[Category:Albums produced by Scott Burns]] [[Category:Metal Blade Records albums]] [[cs:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[da:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[de:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[es:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[fr:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[it:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[hu:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[nl:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[pl:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[pt:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[ro:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[ru:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[sk:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[fi:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[sv:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[uk:Tomb of the Mutilated]] [[vls:Tomb of the Mutilated]]'
