Post Description

Chaos Horrific is the upcoming sixteenth studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse. It is set to be released on September 22, 2023, through Metal Blade.

Background
Material for the album was written shortly after the completion of their previous studio album Violence Unimagined in 2021. Recording sessions took place in Rutan's Mana Studio in Florida and were described as "smoother than ever". The album was named by drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz, who felt it was an appropriate representation of the band. To bassist Alex Webster, the record feels like a "continuation of Violence Unimagined". Guitarist Rob Barrett opined that their songwriting skills had evolved in a way that every song "paves its own path", whether it is "straightforward", "technical" or a "mix of both". Webster added that there was no "conscious effort" to create a technical record but if it ended up being that it would have just been a "natural result". Erik Rutan, producing his sixth album for the band, tried to "push the envelope" and "explore new territory" this time around.
