Artwork, Track Listing And First Single Unveiled
America's reigning kings of brutality, CANNIBAL
CORPSE, will unleash their twelfth studio offering this March via Metal
Blade Records. Aptly titled Torture, the follow-up to 2009's Evisceration
Plague offers up 12 tracks of maniacally precise, soul-searing death
metal. Torture was again produced by Hate Eternal's Erik Rutan
at his own Mana Recording Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida as well as Sonic
Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, and features the maniacal cover art by longtime CANNIBAL
CORPSE artist, Vincent Locke, viewable HERE.
While Torture marks the latest progression
in the band's sound, it also witnesses a return to what drummer Paul
Mazurkiewicz accurately terms "the frenzied attack of Butchered At
Birth (1991) or Tomb Of The Mutilated (1992),"
infusing the band's advanced musicianship with the raw savagery that haunted
their earlier releases, and in the process conceiving the definitive CANNIBAL
CORPSE record. Adds bassist Alex Webster on the outcome of the record:
"We're extremely happy with how Torture turned out. Erik
Rutan did an amazing job with the production, and the songwriting and
performances may be our strongest yet. We can't wait until our fans get to hear
the whole thing!"
Witness the gutting sounds of "Demented
Aggression," the band's first single, as well as studio footage, at the
official CANNIBAL CORPSE landing page, at THIS
LOCATION.
