Cannibal Corpse: new album 'Chaos Horrific' out of oven in September

US death metal veterans Cannibal Corpse's new album, 'Chaos Horrific', will be out on September 22nd, 2023, via Metal Blade Records.

Cannibal Corpse had no master plan, approaching each track with an open mind. "I never go into a record thinking about anything, I just let the writing flow freely with no limitations," says guitarist/producer Erik Rutan. "But this time, I knew I wanted to push the envelope a bit in a different direction than 'Violence Unimagined'; expand the dynamics, explore new territory without departing from what Cannibal Corpse is and always shall be."

Rutan has now produced six Cannibal Corpse albums, starting with 2006's 'Kill', and this is Rutan's second release as a full-fledged member, since officially joining in 2020. Tracking at Rutan's Mana Studio in Florida, the band's home state, was comfortable for all involved, who were at the top of their game and ready to give it their all. Things went smoother than ever, particularly on the guitar front thanks to Barrett and Rutan having "custom guitars built with longer scale necks to hold the proper intonation necessary for lower tunings," says Barrett.

The album artwork by longtime collaborator Vince Locke is also suitably Cannibal Corpse-esque, featuring a chaotic tangle of the living and the undead, evoking the lyrics of the title track.
