Ripping Corpse was an American based death metal band formed in 1987. They released one album, Dreaming with the Dead (1991), and several highly regarded demos. Members included Vocalist Scott Ruth, Guitarist Shaune Kelley, Bassist David Bizzigotti, Drummer Brandon Thomas, and future Morbid Angel Guitarist Erik Rutan, who went on to form Hate Eternal. Thomas, Ruth and Kelley went on to form Dim Mak. The band's lyrics typically were Horror-themed.
The band took its name from the second song on Kreator's second album, Pleasure to Kill.
