The post Cannibal Corpse Announce Coloring Book, And It’s Already Banned in Germany appeared first on Consequence.

Cannibal Corpse now have their own coloring book — and it’s already been banned for sale in Germany.

The Official Cannibal Corpse Colouring Book arrives December 1st via UK publisher Rock ‘N’ Roll Colouring, also the makers of coloring books featuring Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Megadeth, and more. But beware, as it comes with a “Parental Advisory” sticker for “explicit artwork.”

Officially endorsed by the death metal pioneers, the book features color-in versions of longtime Cannibal Corpse designer Vince Locke’s iconic artwork. The goopy, gory album covers for the band’s 1990 debut Eaten Back To Life up through this year’s most recent Chaos Horrific can now be customized to the color palette of your desire.

In Locke’s own words, you might want to have a few extra red crayons/pencils/markers on hand.

“Going over art for the book, it was surprising to see just how much 30 years of collaboration yielded,” said Locke [via Metal Hammer]. “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 coloring.”

He continued: “I’m always playing, trying different materials and techniques. Hope you do the same with these coloring pages. Try watercolor markers, crayons, and colored 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 added, “This book is a great new way for Cannibal Corpse fans to enjoy the incredible artwork of Vincent Locke.”

Unfortunately, such vile and grotesque visual art isn’t appropriate for consumer markets in all countries. The coloring book apparently is already banned for sale in Germany per national law and regulations (Cannibal Corpse’s early albums were infamously banned in the country, along with performances of songs from those albums).

Everyone else can pre-order the book for £12.99 via EyeSore Merch. Check out product photos in the gallery below, if you dare.
