Gallery of Suicide is the sixth album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse. It was released in 1998 through Metal Blade Records. The cover art, done as usual by Vince Locke, is an image of a redhead inflicting various wounds on herself, surrounded by people who have also mutilated themselves but are seemingly dead. The censored cover features the outside of the gallery and with careful attention, a man jumping from one of its highest platforms. This is the second album to include George Fisher on vocal duties.
[edit] Comments on the album
"That’s the first album with Pat and that was an album with a lot of experimental stuff on it. Probably my favorite song on there is "From Skin To Liquid". That’s our second instrumental actually, we had instrumental on Vile called Relentless Beating. From Skin To Liquid I thought was a really good song because a lot of people associate our band with being fast and being gory and that song is neither. But it’s still a really heavy death metal song. So, I think that’s probably why I like it so much. We showed that we could be totally heavy in a different way and From Skin To Liquid definitely did that. As far as that era goes, that was when Pat got in. I guess that’s what I remember. Pat joined the band and Rob left when we were writing that album."- Alex Webster [1]
[edit] Reviews
"Gallery of Suicide captured brutality in its purest form and condensed it into heavy, technical riffs, heart-pounding double-bass drums, and guttural vocals to appease the masses of anxious death metal fans." "This is Cannibal Corpse's technical masterpiece, and it shows." "Almost everything about this album is appealing to a death metal fan: gore, grunts, speed, and slaughter are all positive checks in Gallery. But what makes Gallery so much different from its predecessors is the excellent technical work, for which Gallery cannot be denied. Cannibal Corpse went straight for the jugular on this album, and this is pure death metal banging on all four cylinders." [2]
