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 going down for a few years now,” states 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 that we 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 what song you are listening to.” While they continue to do what they do with aplomb, the only substantive change to Cannibal Corpse is the addition of guitarist Erik Rutan to their ranks, joining Webster, founding drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz, guitarist Rob Barrett and vocalist George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher. Known for his roles in Morbid Angel. Ripping Corpse and above all facing 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 the metal field, 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 each record, on Violence Unimagined, Cannibal Corpse have raised their game even further, “I think we all outdid ourselves a bit technically on this one!”
