Metal Blade Records is Set to Release Chaos Horrific Full-Length with Cannibal Corpse's "Summoned For Sacrifice"
Photo by Alex MorganLegendary death metallers CANNIBAL CORPSE unleash their latest single and accompanying video for "Summoned For Sacrifice." The pulverizing new hymn comes by way of the band’s sixteenth studio album, Chaos Horrific, set for release on September 22nd via Metal Blade Records.
Since their 1988 inception, CANNIBAL CORPSE has remained at the forefront of death metal, shaping and defining the genre. In 2021, they raised the bar again with their Violence Unimagined offering. And in celebration of their thirty-fifth anniversary, this year’s monolithic Chaos Horrific full-length, written shortly after the conclusion of the Violence Unimagined sessions, continues the trajectory. Members of CANNIBAL CORPSE include George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher on vocals, Erik Rutan and Rob Barrett on guitars, Alex Webster on bass and lastly Paul Mazurkiewicz on drums.
The band’s second single, “Summoned For Sacrifice” symbolized the selection of an individual to be dismembers.
“One person is randomly selected to die. Thirteen people are randomly selected to kill this person by violently removing pieces of his body until he breathes no more.”
It doesn't matter where the writing process takes the band since the band is known for technicality and complex songwriting. CANNIBAL CORPSE approached Chaos Horrific with no master strategy, intending to simply compose the best songs possible. Produced again by guitarist Erik Rutan, who has now produced six of the band’s albums, starting with 2006’s Kill, (Chaos Horrific marks Rutan’s second release as a full-fledged member, since officially joining the band in 2020), the record is, without question a full-on, CANNIBAL-style death metal outing, straight down to the themes, which include zombie warfare, resetting the human race through mass mutilations, and the violent revenge of victims of human trafficking, as well as its cover art by longtime collaborator Vince Locke.
In addition to the digipak CD, Chaos Horrific will be available on vinyl in the following variants, as well as on cassette (limited to 500 copies), digitally and on vinyl.
