Do you remember the first time you heard the timeless, unforgettable, heart-felt melodies of such Cannibal Corpse classics as “Meat Hook Sodomy” and “Covered with Sores” off the band’s classic 1991 record Butchered at Birth? Maybe those songs bring to mind a certain tender moment between yourself and a certain special person or rapidly decomposing corpse. If this sounds like you and your hopeless romantic soul, you might want to commemorate your memories around Butchered at Birth. And, if that’s the case, you’re in luck because Cannibal Corpse recently released a new “Butcher Buddy” plushie in honor of the 1991 album.
The 13” tall plushie is designed to look like one of the butchers that are dissecting the body on the cover of Butchered at Birth, but somehow cuter. Here’s what the band had to say about it on Instagram:
“On this Friday the 13th … we present some brand new ‘Butchered at Birth’ merch – including – the ultra limited Cannibal Corpse “Butcher Buddy” Plushie! The Cannibal Corpse Butcher Buddy plush toy design, featuring a limited edition Butchered At Birth 13″ tall plush figure. Available now in our store!”
The “Butcher Buddy” plushie limited to only 300, so try to get yours, but it’s perfectly possible that they’ve already sold out by now, but I’m sure you can still catch one for an ungodly price on the second-hand market. The only thing that’s not cute about this whole situation is capitalism.
While the plushie is not sold in Europe, what is sold in Europe are tickets to the Cannibal Corpse European tour:
