Violence Unimagined

Description

Composed of eleven tracks, Violence Unimagined is cutting-edge death metal played with passion and breathtaking precision. “It really follows the path we’ve been on for the past few years now,” says bassist and founding member Alex Webster. “I think we approach writing the same way every time: each of us tries to write the heaviest and most memorable songs he can. We want every song to have its own identifiable character. Showing my age, I like to say you can ‘drop the needle’ on any point of one of our albums and quickly tell which song you’re listening to.” While they continue to do what they do with aplomb, the only substantial change made to Cannibal Corpse is the addition of guitarist Erik Rutan to their ranks, joining Webster, founding drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz, guitarist Rob Barrett and singer George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher. Known for his roles in Morbid Angel. Ripping the corpses and especially fronting the mighty Hate Eternal, Rutan has long established himself as one of the most dynamic forces in contemporary death metal. At the same time, he has built a reputation as one of the most in-demand producers in metal, having already produced four Cannibal Corpse albums (in addition to Violence Unimagined), alongside Goatwhore, Soilent Green and Belphegor. Already well known for the extreme level of technicality they bring to every record, on Violence Unimagined, Cannibal Corpse have raised their game even further, “I think we all pushed ourselves a little technically on this one!”
