Critical reception
"Hammer Smashed Face" is one of the band's most popular songs, mainly due to a shortened version appearing in the 1994 comedy film Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.[1] Since it is included on Tomb of the Mutilated, it was banned from Germany until June 2006, when it was played at a 2006 performance at Essen.
When asked if he had a favorite Cannibal Corpse album, singer Chris Barnes described the Hammer Smashed EP as "one of the underrated ones".[2] Barnes also hailed the group's cover of Black Sabbath's "Zero the Hero" as "one of the greatest".[2]

Hammer Smashed Face es el primer EP de Cannibal Corpse, distribuido por Metal Blade Records en 1993. Existe también un sencillo que únicamente contiene las tres primeras canciones del mismo. Por compartir canciones con Tomb of the Mutilated, estuvo prohibido en Alemania hasta junio de 2006. Se realizaron dos versiones de la carátula, la correspondiente al sencillo, que muestra un primer plano de una calavera usada como candelabro (y que aparecía ya en la portada de Tomb of the Mutilated) y la del EP, que es mucho más gráfica y presenta un hombre destrozado a martillazos.[ru] Hammer Smashed Face
