I got it from Hells so the postage was the cheap DHL option they sold out of it in 2 days. Before they stocked it I was looking at other sites like Merchbar they were charging €17 for post. The record itself is 30 quid. If you want that version I would get it now as out of the 20 odd LP pressings they did for that album only 3 including this repress have the uncensored art and the previous 2 versions from 2021 sell for stupid money on Discogs.

Quote from: mickO))) on February 07, 2024, 12:07:47 PMMetal 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.
Yea, bit poor on Metal Blade's side now. I don't care that there are censored versions per say, but I'd like the option as opposed to buying a copy and then having no lyric sheet which happened to me. Old man rant over ha ha ha

Kind of fucking mad that they need to censor the lyrics of a band named Cannibal Corpse. Surely people know what they are getting in for. If Webster wrote lyrics for Shaniah Twain then I'd get it... but Cannibal Corpse. Come on, society.

I completely agree. It seems to me that they are trying to appear more edgy by having censored versions. Like "oh the lyrics are so offensive" essentially censoring themselves.

Probably kept quiet because it would affect sales. I just can't understand the reasoning behind it. I think even that ban on the first couple of albums being sold or songs being played live in Germany was lifted a few years ago. I also know plenty of bands with far worse lyrics then Cannibal whose records aren't being censored for the EU.

They've censored themselves for notoriety

Album shitific is  the next one

Kerry king does a guest solo on all the songs and writes all the music

European tour just announced with a string of English dates but no Ireland once again. That's twice now in the last year that Ireland has been skipped. Very disappointing.

Either the financial hit was a bit too much or no available venue.

That's a deadly lineup too. Schizophrenia are great, loads of Morbid Angel theft but done well!

When did they play here last? I saw them in 2006, I assume they've played since but I don't know why I wouldn't have pottered along at some point.

Think they were back twice since then. Did a show in the Academy 2010 and Tivoli + Limerick/Belfast in 2018

I was away when they last played but I think it was 2018. I was suppose to see myself in 2019 but due to being far too pissed I didn't make it to the show so I haven't seen them myself since around 2012 I think.

Immolation are supporting on this upcoming EU tour who I think also haven't been over here in a long time.

I'd go for Immolation alone - not to pushed on live Corpse these days, Fisher's vocals are so annoying and the sets feature too much new shit. They could do with an old school set at this stage.

Yea the last Immolation headline show was 2007 I think. A few support shows since just. They look like they are billed as second support, under Municipal Waste.

Makes sense why I missed CC in 2010 and 2018 when I see the dates there.

I think they headlined twice since then. The show with Macabre in the Village the time we had that really bad snow in 2010 and then the Marduk / Immo co-headline show that I think was in 2012.
