Eaten Back to Life is Cannibal Corpse's first album. It was released on 17 August 1990 through Metal Blade Records. The album was banned in Germany (censored versions were available, but the ban was revoked in June 2006) and other countries because of the violent cover, which is a painting of a zombie with its aorta, stomach, and large intestine hanging out while the zombie consumes them. Glen Benton (Deicide) and Francis H. Howard of Opprobrium (then known as Incubus) sang back-up vocals "A Skull Full of Maggots" and "Mangled".

The following statement can be found in the inlay of this album: "This album is dedicated to the memory of Alfred Packer, the first American cannibal (R.I.P.)"

The remastered version includes a video of "Born In a Casket (live)" as well as a less intense color scheme on the cover art.
