Vile is the fifth album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse. It was released in 1996 through Metal Blade Records. It was originally titled Created to Kill (which is featured in the Cannibal Corpse Box set) and was recorded with founding vocalist Chris Barnes. Before the album was released, Barnes quit the band, which then brought in Monstrosity vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher to finish the album's vocal work. Fisher re-recorded all of the vocal tracks and the band released the album under the new title Vile. Vile also marks the last album featuring guitarist Rob Barrett, and features a brand new band logo, because the previous logo was owned and copyrighted by the departing Chris Barnes.[citation needed]

Vile was the first death metal album to appear on the Billboard 200 chart, debuting at No.151.
