Cannibal Corpse is unstoppable with their 14th full-length album. Their new album, Red Before Black, will be unveiled on November 3rd through Metal Blade.
Cannibal Corpse has become a top seller in the past 30 years partly because they constantly push the limits when it comes to brutal and complex songs. This time with Red Before Black, they did something different. Bassist Alex Webster said,

“We always try to make our music aggressive, but where an album like A Skeletal Domain was definitely aggressive, it has a targeted refinement that the new album doesn’t. Red Before Black is as well executed as anything we’ve done, but it has a rawness to it that we haven’t had in a long time.”

The full line-up includes Rob Barrett and Pat O’Brien on guitar, George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher on vocals, Alex Webster on bass and Paul Mazurkiewicz on drums. After nearly a life-long career in death metal, Cannibal Corpse is undeniably grounded, with a great work ethic. They set the precedent for a career in metal. They’ve taken a short break, but now they are ready to go with another project. Red Before Black is a follow-up to 2014’s A Skeletal Domain produced by Erik Rutan.  That was the fourth studio album produced by Rutan over the span of eight years. This new album will be his fifth with Cannibal Corpse. Based out of Florida, the band recorded their new album at Mana Recording Studios. Another bonus, the album art never disappoints.  A Skeletal Domain (2014)

With little information revealed about the follow-up album, we know that fans can highly-anticipate the release of a single or two, bridging A Skeletal Domain. They will definitely be spotlighting their new music on tour later this year.  The album track list was already released.

Once the record is launched, Cannibal Corpse will go on a US tour with Gatecreeper and PowerTrip. After that mega tour, Cannibal Corpse is going with Tons of Metal abroad. They announced their tour dates earlier this year. That is when they announced that they were working on a new album.  At the time, it had not been named.
