Cannibal Corpse's lyrics and album/T-shirt artwork frequently feature transgressive and macabre imagery, including depictions of extreme violence and gore; the band has always defended this as artistic expression that is clearly fictional. In an interview for the documentary "", George Fisher said that death metal is best understood "as art", and claims that far more violent art can be found at the Vatican, pointing out that such depictions are arguably more transgressive because they actually happened. Some examples of Cannibal Corpse's most controversial song titles include "I Cum Blood," "Meat Hook Sodomy," "Entrails Ripped from a Virgin's Cunt," "Necropedophile," "Stripped, Raped, and Strangled," and "Fucked with a Knife."
