The Wretched Spawn

About

The Wretched Spawn is the ninth studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse. The cover art is by Vincent Locke and like many Cannibal Corpse albums, there is also a censored outer sleeve for The Wretched Spawn. This is the last studio album to feature Jack Owen, one of the band's founding members. The album was distributed with a making-of DVD produced by Nick Sahakian. The Wretched Spawn is Cannibal Corpse's fourth album to be named after one of the tracks on the album. "For songs like Nothing Left to Mutilate, and Decency Defied, I looked to friends for ideas they had. 'Decency' was based on a friend who had a nightmare that her tattoos were being torn off while she was still alive. 'Nothing Left' was based on ideas from a friend who was studying pheromones in college, and told me all about how a woman's scent drives men crazy. So if my imagination doesn't kick in, I draw from other things. Slain was based on the Eastwood film, High Plains Drifter. And Festering in the Crypt is my own idea of dealing with the finality of death." - Jack Owen.
