While its 11 songs aren’t exclusively about him, American death metallers Cannibal Corpse dedicated the whole of their 1990 debut album to the “memory of Alferd Packer, the first American cannibal (R.I.P.)”. Full of gruesome lyrics – 'Hack, slice, chop, carve, rip and tear / Carving up your eyeballs, watch them sit and stare' from Scattered Remains, Splattered Brains, for example – that are matched only by the intense sonic assault of the music, this album is full of lines inspired by, but not limited to, Packer, a gold prospector in the 19th century who allegedly killed and ate the rest of his mining party.
