Cannibal Corpse is a well-known United States death metal band, that was founded in 1988 by Chris Barnes, Bob Rusay, Jack Owen, Alex Webster and Paul Mazurkiewicz.

Their music is very fast and complex and is known for its violent lyrics. Their albums are censored and banned in several countries, including Germany, where they are not allowed to play any song from one of their first three albums in concert, not allowed to play at all in the state of Bavaria, not allowed to display the original cover images, or print the lyrics in the CD booklets, etc. Song titles include 'Entrails Ripped From a Virgin's Cunt' and 'Fucked With a Knife.' Chris Barnes was kicked out of the band for musical differences.

Cannibal Corpse enjoyed a brief cameo in the 1994 Jim Carrey film 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective'.

Jack Owen departed Cannibal Corpse in 2004 due to lack of interest. Jeremy Turner of Origin is replacing him on tours, but it is still unclear if he will become a permanent member.
