CANNIBAL CORPSE: Reigning Kings Of Death Metal Set To Release Twelfth Studio Album Artwork, Track Listing And First Single Unveiled

Cannibal Corpse "Demented Aggression" by Metal Blade Records

America's reigning kings of brutality, CANNIBAL CORPSE, will unleash their twelfth studio offering this March via Metal Blade Records. Aptly titled Torture, the follow-up to 2009's Evisceration Plague offers up 12 tracks of maniacally precise, soul-searing death metal. Torture was again produced by Hate Eternal's Erik Rutan at his own Mana Recording Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida as well as Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, and features the maniacal cover art by longtime CANNIBAL CORPSE artist, Vincent Locke, viewable HERE.

While Torture marks the latest progression in the band's sound, it also witnesses a return to what drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz accurately terms "the frenzied attack of Butchered At Birth (1991) or Tomb Of The Mutilated (1992)," infusing the band's advanced musicianship with the raw savagery that haunted their earlier releases, and in the process conceiving the definitive CANNIBAL CORPSE record. Adds bassist Alex Webster on the outcome of the record: "We're extremely happy with how Torture turned out. Erik Rutan did an amazing job with the production, and the songwriting and performances may be our strongest yet. We can't wait until our fans get to hear the whole thing!"

Torture Division Announce CD Release Show

Demigods of Swedish death metal, TORTURE DIVISION will be bringing their battle-tested brand of brutality to the stage in celebration of their latest offering,Evighetens Dårar. The show will take place on November 12th at The Metal Clubin Karlstad, Sweden and will feature performances by KARENSDAG, HADDOCK, OLAGA HOT, DAMIEN and THE LAW. Details can be found on The Metal Club's website ( in Swedish).

In a statement taken from the band's website, TORTURE DIVISION mainman Lord K. Philipson had the following to say regarding the gig:

"We just started to rehearse individually for this coming gig, the first one since we played Getaway Festival this summer. To say we are stoked to get back on stage is an understatement. We will premiere a song or 2 that we haven't played live before and the first time we will do it together is when we are on the actual stage. We like that shit.

I just played thru the set we have planned for the gig and it's fucken insane how these songs still lurk somewhere back in my mind some 5 months after last playing them on the guitar. It went real smooth and now I will work it like I always do; play thru the set at least once a day until the date of the gig arrives. Then me andTobben might do a soundcheck (J works and will get to the place of the gig like an hour before the gig so we have no time to soundcheck all of us), if not - hey, well... it's not the first time we work it like this, haha...

We will have albums for sale at this concert, as well as some brand new merch - so bring yer cash and support TD so we can record more music and buy tons of beers. Make us the first death metal millionaires, ok?

That's it. See ya in Karlstad. We are fucken dying to play for you guys."

Evighetens Dårar is now available through Abyss Records. The Digi-CD compiles material from the trio's Evighetens Dårar I (2009), Evighetens Dårar II (2010), and Evighetens Dårar III (2010) demos and was mixed/mastered by Dan Swano at Unisound Studios.
