CANNIBAL CORPSE released their debut album on this day in 1990 through Death Records (Metal Blade).
Yeah, we sent out like our videos ... actually, I knew a guy that I used to work with at a record store chain around here, and uh he like had some people at Metal Blade, and he just made sure they listened to it y'know, so we could get a chance. And they liked it, and they sent us a contract like two days later so we fuckin' signed it. Now we got a seven year contract with them y'know, seven albums, heh.

No endorsements yet, but uh Paul plays a Tama drumset with Paite cymbals, um Bobby uses Marshalls and he's got a Gibson Flying V. Jack's got a fuckin' guitar that came from hell probably, I don't even know what the fuck kind it is, man. He plays on a Crate stack, Alex plays on Peavey with a Fender Precision bass, and I use a Telex microphone and JBL speakers, ha ha.
