* MoralGuardians - The band was a favorite target of them in the mid 90's, coming under attack from both [[PoliticalCorectnessGoneMad the left]] and [[ActiveFundamentalistAntics the right]] for their lyrics and cover art. Their albums were outright banned in Australia from 1996 to 2006, their first three albums were also banned in Germany until 2006, and they were prohibited from performing any songs from those albums while touring there.

* ImAHumanitarian - A lot of their songs feature this.

* LyricalDissonance - Deliberately, blatantly, and hilariously invoked by Andrew Hansen of TheChaser, in his lounge arrangement of "Rancid Amputation" (mentioned above).

* OneOfUs - Corpsegrinder plays WorldOfWarcraft and is apparently obsessed with it.
** To the point that there's a reference to him, in [[http://www.wowhead.com/?npc=25329#comments Gorge the Corpsegrinder, the tank commander.]] "Confirmed in a recent interview with Cannibal Corpse in Decibel Magazine - "There's a character in the new World of Warcraft named after me," Fisher beams, coincidentally wearing a WOW t-shirt. "I mean, this is my favorite fucking video game and they made a character named after me. Millions of people are going to go to Gorge the [=CorpseGrinder=] and get quests from him. It's unbelievable, just unbelievable."" And he is, of course, an orc. Not some pansy alliance elf...

* SignatureSong - "Hammer Smashed Face", due to it being played in the aforementioned ''Ace Ventura: Pet Detective''. It's also available in ''RockBand 2''.
