The second single from ‘Violence Unimagined’ reiterates the band’s unparalleled brand of brutality.
Following the emphatic introduction of the band’s fifteenth studio album ‘Violence Unimagined’ in Cannibal Corpse’ first single, “Inhumane Harvest,” the death metal icons have shared a second offering from their April 16th release with “Murderous Rampage”.
The 11-track effort is already earning high praise as one of the band’s best works to date. Featuring the renowned death metal talent of Erik Rutan (Morbid Angel/Hate Eternal) as a major contributing force on the record, the revered producer and guitarist has solidified his position in the band as a songwriter and collaborating engineer of the band’s signature brand of brutality.
Alex Webster discussed the impact Rutan has made on the latest LP. “I think the most noticeable difference on this record will be the addition of Erik to the band. He wrote three full songs for the record, music and lyrics, and his song writing and guitar playing have added something new, and I think his musical style integrated into ours very well,” Webster explains. “He’s a great friend of ours, so on a personal level, he’s been a perfect fit, as we knew he would be. Beyond that, he’s one of the hardest working people I know, in music or otherwise, and he maintains a high energy, positive demeanor in challenging situations where other people might go in a negative direction. This energy and great attitude rubs off on the rest of us as well. That’s really a perfect situation to have when you add someone to a band, or any kind of team: someone who’s great at what they do, and also inspires the people around them.”
The powerhouse collective of Alex Webster, Paul Mazurkiewicz, Rob Barrett, Erik Rutan, and vocalist George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher have managed to one-up themselves on Violence Unimagined and “Murderous Rampage” offers a testament to their premium level of extremity.
