HARD NOISE: CANNIBAL CORPSE // Introduce ‘Code of the Slashers’

Upstate New York gorefathers Cannibal Corpse have introduced Code of the Slashers, previewing their fourteenth (!!!) full-length, Red Before Black, dropping 3rd November. Watch below:

They are releasing the album, produced by Erik Rutan (Goatwhore, Hate Eternal) via Metal Blade Records. Director Zev Deans (Behemoth‘s Messe Noire, Ghost‘s Square Hammer, Portal‘s Curtain) imbued a distinct whiff of horror throughout the clip, saying:

“After crawling through abandoned buildings, crashing our van into a tree in the middle of a scene, witnessing a real stabbing and drenching ourselves in fake blood in a derelict park at 5am, we can safely say this was a proper introduction to the slasher genre for Panorama Programming. We brought a slab of fresh meat back from a rotting metropolis, and we’re serving it to you raw. Come and get it.”

“Throughout our career we’ve tried to improve the precision of both our musical execution and our album production, while still maintaining full-on aggression. Red Before Black continues in that direction, but might go even further on the aggressive side of things. It’s definitely precise, but it has a rawness to it that goes beyond anything we’ve done recently,” states bassist Alex Webster.

“We really worked super hard crafting these songs, practicing them, and getting them where we wanted to be more so than on any of our previous albums,” states drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz. “And as Alex said, musically I think it’s the most raw sound we’ve had – and at the same time I think it’s our most focused, tightest and catchiest record.”
