Except the Locke's artwork has become progressively worse since The Bleeding. Cartoonish looking muck.

Yep, even the colour schemes are identical these days. It's like when Corpse ring he looks round the house for half finished sketches he did for previous records. Again, you're going all the way back to Gallery/Bloodthirst for the last decent front cover.

The original Bleeding artwork with the close up of the zombies arteries is terrible. That was the version I used to have as a teenager on CD the current art being used for the vinyl reissues is so much better. The artwork from Kill to red before black is not good but the uncensored Violence cover is great and I like this new artwork.

The Wretched Spawn cover is class!

Forgot about Wretched. It is indeed class in it's levels of absurdity.

as mentioned The Wretched Spawn album cover is class, as is the EP Worm Infested. I used to have the shirt of that and wore it proudly. Oh, youthful arrogance ha ha ha

I remember some years ago getting a Wretched Spawn picture disc out of a voucher that the Mother in Law got me for Christmas. She messaged the Mrs and was all "Oh what did Adrian get out of the voucher?" and the Mrs, being desensitised to such things by that stage, sent her a picture of it. I didn't get anymore vouchers after that.

The friendly bus conductor on the Crosshaven bus stopped talking to me after I got on with the Wretched Spawn shirt  :laugh:

On a few occasions as a young gossoon being dragged to mass on Sunday morning I 'accidentally wore my Deicide- Feasting the Beast tshirt. My ST- Send Me Your Money tshirt got a few airings as well  8)

The priest still probably has nightmares when he's not jerking off to the memory. What can I say, I was a hot 13 year old.

fm, i didn't even get time to listen to the last one and they've pumped a new one out

I wouldn't worry about it ,they're interchangable, you could probably buy one in every three these days and you'd have all the C.C. you need

pretty much isn't it. After Owens left they lost a kind of groove. He wrote some amount of hooks to be fair.

Metal blade just did a repress of Violence on vinyl with the uncensored art for anyone looking for it but it is only available from US distros. Mine arrived in the post yesterday it looks and sounds great.

For whatever reason it does indeed seem like all Cannibal Corpses releases now set for the EU market are being censored. I got Chaos from the US and it comes with a 4 page insert including all the lyrics whereas the EU version is just a double sided insert with no lyrics. Fairly shitty from Metal Blade as I can't see any legal reason for doing this and they aren't making people aware of it either.

Probably won't be long before the US versions are only available to people with a US address.

The censored art is irksome for sure. What was the postage on that record from the US?
