The Wretched Spawn is the ninth studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse.

The album was distributed with a making-of DVD produced by Nick Sahakian.

"For songs like "Nothing Left to Mutilate", and "Decency Defied", I looked to friends for ideas they had.

"Decency [Defied]" was based on a friend who had a nightmare that her tattoos were being torn off while she was still alive.

"Nothing Left to Mutilate" was based on ideas from a friend who was studying pheromones in college, and told me all about how a woman's scent drives men crazy.
