"Cannibal" is a song by industrial metal band Static-X and the first single from their album with the same title. It features John 5 (Rob Zombie/Marilyn Manson) as a guest guitarist on the track, most notably for a sterling guitar solo. This is also the first time Static-X have released a single for the title song. Cannibal was released on iTunes as the album's first online single.

When commenting on the song Wayne Static said - "With ‘Cannibal,’ I was thinking of how, when I see people eating these big pieces of meat, it’s really disgusting to me. It’s like they could be cannibals; that you could give somebody a piece of a human and they’d eat it and not know the difference. So, with that basic idea in mind, I was able to write the song around it." [http://www.myspace.com/staticx]
