Butchered at Birth is Cannibal Corpse's second album. It was released in 1991 through Metal Blade Records. The controversial album was banned in Germany until June 2006, due to the cover art featuring gory art of a would-be mother carved by a zombie, another zombie holding the untimely newborn baby that is apparently about to be slaughtered, and dead fetuses at the top. First pressings of the compact disc were wrapped in white butcher paper stamped with the band logo and album title in red ink.

This Album of Cannibal Corpse is banned in Germany.
