'''''Eaten Back to Life''''' is the debut album by American death metal band [[Cannibal Corpse]]. It was released on 17 August 1990 through [[Metal Blade Records]]. The album was banned in Germany (censored versions were not available, but the ban was revoked in June 2006) and other countries because of the extreme nature of the lyrics. [[Glen Benton]] of [[Deicide (band)|Deicide]] and Francis H. Howard of Opprobrium (then known as Incubus) perform back-up vocals on "Mangled" and "A Skull Full of Maggots". The following statement can be found in the inlay of this album:"This album is dedicated to the memory of Alfred Packer, the first American cannibal (R.I.P.)" This album has stronger influences of thrash metal than their future releases, as well as a slightly varied vocal style. Their trademark style wasn't present until their following release [[Butchered at Birth]]. The remastered version includes a video of "Born In a Casket (live)" as well as different color scheme on the cover art.
