Vile

About

Vile is the fifth studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse. It was released in 1996 through Metal Blade Record. It was originally titled Created to Kill (which is featured in the Cannibal Corpse Box set) and was recorded with founding vocalist Chris Barne. Before the album was released, Barnes quit the band, which then brought in Monstrosity vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher to finish the album's vocal work. Fisher re-recorded all of the vocal tracks and the band released the album under the new title Vile. Vile also marks the last album featuring guitarist Rob Barrett until Kill, and features a brand new band logo, because the previous logo was owned and copyrighted by the departing Chris Barne. During the Vile session, The Undead Will Feast from Eaten Back to Life was re-recorded with Fisher on vocal. This version of the song would appear on the Worm Infested EP in 2003. The album was re-released in 2006 with new liner notes and a bonus DVD (entitled "Vile Live") featuring a full concert from the Vile tour, during which many songs from the album are performed. Vile was the first death metal album to appear on the Billboard 200 chart, debuting at #151. .
