This t-shirt isn’t just for the faint of heart. With the bold statement “Cannibal Corpse: Worm Infested” sprawled across the front, it’s a signifier of allegiance to one of Death Metal’s most notorious acts. But for fans in the know, “Worm Infested” holds a special significance.
Released in 2003, “Worm Infested” isn’t a full-length album, but an EP (Extended Play) containing a potent mix of new and revisited material. The title track itself, “Worm Infested,” is a brutal and fast-paced assault, a prime example of Cannibal Corpse’s signature style. However, the EP also boasts other noteworthy elements. It features re-recorded versions of classics like “The Undead Will Feast” from the Chris Barnes era, allowing fans to experience these anthems with the current vocalist, George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher. Additionally, the EP includes a cover of Accept’s “Demon Night,” showcasing Cannibal Corpse’s ability to inject their own brutal energy into a heavy metal classic.
Owning this t-shirt signifies more than just fandom for Cannibal Corpse. It demonstrates an appreciation for the band’s exploration beyond full-length albums, showcasing their willingness to deliver a concentrated dose of brutality through the “Worm Infested” EP. It’s a statement for die-hard fans who treasure the band’s diverse and relentlessly aggressive discography.
