Gallery of Suicide is the sixth studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse, released on April 21, 1998, through Metal Blade Records.

It is the first Cannibal Corpse album to feature former Nevermore guitarist Pat O'Brien. It is also the band's last album to be recorded at Morrisound Recordings in Tampa, where the band had recorded since 1990's Eaten Back to Life.

Composition

Bassist Alex Webster said the addition of Pat O'Brien on lead guitar brought "that shredding firepower that we’d never had before".[3]

Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic called the album "monotonous" and "predictable" in an underwhelming review.[4]
