A Skeletal Domain is the thirteenth studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse. The album was produced at Audiohammer Studios by Mark Lewis.
The album entered the US Billboard 200 at #32, selling 8,825 copies its first week.
Bassist Alex Webster said "I think it's turning out to be kind of a dark-sounding album. Which, you know, it's a death metal album, so, of course, it should be kind of dark and eerie sounding anyway, but I think this one a little more than normal. That was kind of the direction the songwriting went in."
"Sadistic Embodiment" was officially released on the YouTube channel of Metal Blade Records on July 1, 2014. "The Murderer's Pact" was streamed via Loudwire.com on September 8, 2014.
A music video for the song "Kill or Become" was released on September 24, 2014.
"Icepick Lobotomy" is labelled as "Ice-Pick Lobotomy" in the album's liner notes.
