"The Bleeding" is the fourth studio album by the legendary American death metal band Cannibal Corpse, originally released in 1994. This album holds a significant place in the band's discography and the broader death metal genre for several reasons. It features the debut of guitarist Rob Barrett (who replaced Bob Rusay), and many fans and critics consider it a turning point where the band began to incorporate more technicality and slightly more sophisticated songwriting into their signature brutal sound, while still maintaining their uncompromising aggression.
 
While still rooted in the extreme gore-obsessed lyrical themes and ferocious delivery that defines Cannibal Corpse, "The Bleeding" is often cited as one of their most accessible albums from their early era, due to its improved production quality and more discernible song structures without sacrificing brutality. Tracks like "Staring Through the Eyes of the Dead" and "Fucked with a Knife" became fan favorites.
 
This record is a vinyl reissue of "The Bleeding," making this seminal death metal album available again on LP format for collectors and new fans alike. It's a crucial piece for any comprehensive death metal vinyl collection.
