Butchered at Birth is Cannibal Corpse's second album. It was released in 1991 through Metal Blade Records. The controversial album was banned in Germany until June 2006, due to the cover art featuring gory art of a would-be mother carved by a zombie, another zombie holding the untimely newborn baby that is apparently about to be slaughtered, and dead fetuses at the top. First pressings of the compact disc were wrapped in white butcher paper stamped with the band logo and album title in red ink. Butchered at Birth is sometimes considered to be Cannibal Corpses greatest album, along with Tomb of the Mutilated. "Rancid Amputation" was rearranged into a lounge music arrangement by Australian comedy team The Chaser. [1] Butchered at Birth's cover also drew a complaint from the Ontario Provincial Police in Canada, which led to a warning to record stores being told not to sell the album to persons under 18.
