Cephalic Carnage announce new guitarist

Denver, USA based death-grinders Cephalic Carnage have announced their new guitarist:

"Hello friends!

So yeah yeah old news, but as most of you know Zac left the band, but what you don't know is who our new guitarist is. Please welcome Brian Hopp a.k.a. Legolas to the Cephalic family. He's got a really sweet bow and arrow, and his guitar playing is almost as good as his archery. We are extremely pleased with his work on the new record, and we think you will be too. Come tickle his chin and give him a pinch on Summer's Laughter!"

In other news, the band have set 'Misled by Certainty' as the title of their new album, due on August 31 via Relapse Records. The follow-up to 2007's 'Xenosapien' was recorded at the band's own studio with longtime engineer/producer Dave Otero. The CD is described in a press release as a "50-plus-minute journey into metal's most extreme realms" which "see[s] these veterans takes it to edge before pulling it back with 'Repangea', perhaps their most sprawling and epic work to date."
