Thirteen people are randomly selected to kill this person by violently removing pieces of his body until he breathes no more.“ - Paul Mazurkiewicz While the band is notorious for technicality and complex songwriting, that doesn’t define where the writing process takes them. With “Chaos Horrific,“ CANNIBAL CORPSE had no master strategy, approaching each track with an open mind, intent on simply composing the best songs possible. Produced again by guitarist Erik Rutan, who has now produced six of the band’s albums, starting with 2006’s Kill, (“Chaos Horrific“ marks Rutan’s second release as a full-fledged member, since officially joining the band in 2020), the record is, without question a full-on, CANNIBAL-style death metal outing, straight down to the themes, which include zombie warfare, resetting the human race through mass mutilations, and the violent revenge of victims of human trafficking, and its cover art by longtime collaborator Vince Locke.
