Their early beginnings saw them quickly become one of the most influential bands in the genre, not only for their style, imagery and sadistic lyrics, but for their success, there’s no denying that Cannibal Corpse have proven that a Death metal band can be successful, at least in terms of sales, as, in 2003, they hit the one million mark for total record sales. They bring the heavy and the.First known for their graphic, controversial art work and equally controversial lyrics, American Death Metal band Cannibal Corpse have had a strong 23 years in the business. Tomb Of The Mutilated is a high-quality album in general, really one of the greatest albums in Cannibal Corpse history and maybe in Death Metal history too, but don't let anyone trick you by saying that Cannibal Corpse are The gods of Death Metal because that duty was given a long time ago to the most experimental band in this genre Death.Every time a new Cannibal record comes out its different and cool, but its also that same unmistakeable Cannibal sound and vibe.
6 Essential/Reviews Sigur R6s lands this week's Essential pick. Was it a bleeding, vile, experience of torture that pushed us to the gallery of suicide or were we happily eaten. Ya seriously, we went through the entire 15 album run from the biggest death metal band in history Cannibal Corpse. Into The Combine Metal Podcast. Read on… Death Metal Legend Alex WebsterRanking the Entire Cannibal Corpse Discography. But what next for a band who’ve seemingly done everything within their limits? We’ve been talking to one of the founders of Cannibal Corpse, Alex Webster, about the band and what’s next for the Corpse.
Denise Korycki, the filmmaker behind our “Centuries of Torment” DVD also made this one, and once again we feel she has done an excellent job.Rocksins: The last two Cannibal Corpse albums have been a lot less graphic in terms of the album art, has this been a conscious decision or something that has naturally happened?Alex: A little of both I guess. It has lots of concert footage as well as behind the scenes footage. So, we’ll probably wait to tour until the album is released.Rocksins: You have a new DVD coming out in February called Global Evisceration can you tell us a bit about that?Alex: The DVD was filmed in several different countries that we visited on the Evisceration Plague World Tour. We are currently home in the Tampa Bay area writing our next album, we’ll record it in September so that will leave us with an early 2012 release.
The censors seem to ignore the interior artwork so the problem of being banned from record stores is avoided. A darker, less graphic cover and then something more violent and graphic inside. The way around this problem that works out best for us and our fans is to have two pieces of art for the album. These days many record stores are out of business, so if we can’t get our album into the few that remain there would be little point in releasing a physical product. Also, having a less graphic cover helps to ensure it will be available in record stores. It seems to fit the music we’re currently making a bit better.
Also, there are a lot of great tours happening that’ll I’ll be able to check out since we’re home this year: Symphony X/Nevermore, Accept, Ozzy, Iron Maiden…it’s going to be an awesome year for live metal!Rocksins: Thanks for taking the time to do this interview, all the best for the future of Cannibal Corpse and everything you guys do.You can check out Cannibal Corpse and everything you need to know about the band by heading over to their website which can be found here. We’ve made some mistakes along the way, but things have turned out great so I wouldn’t change a thing.Rocksins: As it’s early in the year, we’re all looking forward to what 2011 might bring, are there any bands/albums in particular you’re looking forward to hearing this year?Alex: I’m really looking forward to hearing the new Morbid Angel album. It’s far, far beyond anything we could have imagined. Cannibal Corpse is and will always be death metal.Rocksins: When you look back at your career with Cannibal Corpse, do you look back with pride or do you have any regrets with the band?Alex: In general we’re all quite proud of what we’ve accomplished. We’re happy to play shows and do tours with bands from other genres, this helps to spread the word about death metal….but just because we play shows with these bands doesn’t mean we’re interested in changing our sound. There is still a lot of room for creativity within the boundaries of the death metal genre so we do not feel limited at all.
