I don’t know what’s funnier about this story: the fact that CANNIBAL CORPSE have produced A COLOURING BOOK, or that it’s already been banned in Germany:
The book – which the band claim is “the first colouring book in history” to come with a Parental Advisory warning – features some of the band’s most infamous and gory artwork, designed by artist Vincent Locke.
The book – like much of Cannibal Corpse’s earlier albums – has been banned for sale in Germany over explicit content and graphic imagery. An official comment on the Eyesore Merch site reads: “This product is not available for sale in Germany. Any orders to German addresses will be refunded. We apologize for any inconvenience caused, but this release is subject to German law and regulations.”
Amazing. I remember them being banned here in the 90s, too, they only became available again around 2006 when they’d all been rated and labelled as not for sale to people under 18… given that even this situation seems to have lightened over the years (the new album is openly available uncensored from JB Hifi), I wonder how the current censorship board feels about this book.
