A Skeletal Domain
A Skeletal Domain is the thirteenth studio album by the American death metal band Cannibal Corpse, released in September 2014. It was recorded at Audiohammer Studios with Mark Lewis producing, and it followed Torture from 2012 in a discography that began with Eaten Back to Life in 1990.
The record made its mark on the US Billboard 200, entering at number 32, which was the band's highest placing on that chart up to that point. First-week sales came to 8,825 copies. For anyone who knows the band's brutal death metal sound from the 1990s and wants to hear how it sounded more than two decades on, this is a good place to catch up. Red Before Black followed in 2017.
