Cannibal Corpse announce new album ‘Chaos Horrific’
CANNIBAL CORPSE have announced a new album!
Titled Chaos Horrific, the upcoming album from the American death metal legends is the follow-up to 2021’s Violence Unimagined, and is scheduled to be released in September this year, via Metal Blade Records.
Written shortly after the conclusion of the Violence Unimagined sessions, echoes of that album exist in Chaos Horrific. “To me, this album feels sort of like a continuation of Violence Unimagined,” says bassist Alex Webster. The band have always been noted for technicality and complex songwriting, but that doesn’t define where the writing process takes them. “I believe that our songwriting has progressed in a manner where every song paves its own path, whether it’s a straightforward or technical song,” notes guitarist Rob Barrett. “Sometimes it’s a mix of both, so there’s no preconceived idea that we want to be more technical. The music just sort of takes its own course.”
Webster concurs, “I don’t think there was any conscious effort to make things more technical, so if it wound up that way it would just be a natural result of us trying to write the heaviest songs we could.”
Alongside the announcement of the new album, CANNIBAL CORPSE have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Blood Blind. Speaking about the new song, drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz says, “Blood Blind is about mass mutilations to reset the human race in a genocide that was embraced by the masses.” Guitarist Erik Rutan adds, “Blood Blind was the first song musically that I wrote for Chaos Horrific. It all started with that funeral march of a first riff floating around in my head and it took off from there. Heavy and disturbing, it worked its way into an aggressive smorgasbord of depth and swirling darkness! I thought it would be great to collaborate so I had Paul add his lyrical stamp to it…”
