Cannibal Corpse's deranged and gory artwork to feature in official colouring book
It's released just in time for Christmas
An official colouring book featuring Cannibal Corpse’s gory, deranged and nightmarish artwork is set for release just in time for Christmas.
The first ever Cannibal Corpse colouring book is being released by independent publisher Rock N’ Roll Colouring on Friday 1st December, and it’s available to pre-order here.
The Cannibal Corpse book follows on from the previous Rock N’ Roll Colouring releases from heavy music icons and artists such as Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Rodney Matthews, Motörhead, Judas Priest, Thin Lizzy and Megadeth.
Fully endorsed by Cannibal Corpse and their long-standing artist Vince Locke, The Official Cannibal Corpse Colouring Book boasts the vile artwork to albums such as ‘Tomb Of The Mutilated, ‘Butchered At Birth’, ‘Eaten Back To Life’, and their most recent release ‘Chaos Horrific.’
Rock N’ Roll Colouring say: ‘The book contains painstakingly created renderings of each image with detailed outlines ready for you to unleash your artistic skills using pens, pencils or paint.
‘(It) contains some of the nastiest, sickest, gore-filled & blood-drenched designs ever!
‘Working closely with artist Vince Locke, who personally curated the book, these images are not for the faint-hearted, but are perfect for fans of graphic horror fantasy art, coupled with devotees of the most deranged Death Metal in history.’

Commenting on the colouring book, Vince Locke says: “Going over art for the book, it was surprising to see just how much 30 years of collaboration yielded.
“It’s rare that I see it all compiled together. There are a few pieces that had to be included, some that were favourites of myself or the band, and some that just lent themselves well to colouring.
"I’m always playing, trying different materials and techniques. Hope you do the same with these colouring pages. Try watercolour markers, crayons, and coloured pencils, adding your own details. You’ll probably go through a lot of red, but be creative, have fun, make it your own!”
Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster adds: “This book is a great new way for Cannibal Corpse fans to enjoy the incredible artwork of Vincent Locke.”
Extolling the virtues of colouring, Rock N’ Roll Colouring note: ‘Colouring has proven significant mental health benefits including mindfulness, relaxation and increased focus and can be enjoyed by any age group. These books provide hours of creative and restful activity that combines the love of the music with the love of the art.’
Alongside the standard edition, there are a limited number of books with an exclusive postcard hand signed by Vince Locke.
