Hacked Up for Barbecue is the debut studio album by American death metal band Mortician,[2] [3] released on January 28, 1997 by Relapse Records.[1] The album was later reissued as a two-on-one package with the band's 1998 EP Zombie Apocalypse.
Tom Schulte of Allmusic gave Hacked Up for Barbeque three out of five stars, saying that it "should herald a long career of brutal noise, paying homage to sick flicks. One can wager that the gorecore here is better than any of the Z-movies quoted."[1] The San Diego Union-Tribune called the album "wicked and menacing," writing that Mortician "somehow discovers drama between blasts of heavy guitar and drums."
