Tampa, FL’s godfathers of death metal, CANNIBAL CORPSE have unveiled the artwork for Evisceration Plague, their brand new studio album due out on February 3rd, 2009 via Metal Blade Records. Check out the artwork, created by Vince Locke, the left (click to enlarge).

Alex Webster comments, "For Evisceration Plague we enlisted legendary gore/horror artist Vincent Locke, who has done artwork for all of our releases. He did two pieces for us this time, a dark and foreboding cover piece, and a violent and gory piece for the interior of the CD packaging. Vince has shown once again that he is a master of capturing a macabre and eerie vibe with his artwork."

Evisceration Plague marks the follow up to the band's extremely successful 2006 release Kill (debuted at #170 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart), which has become the fastest selling Cannibal album in their storied career as well as their highest selling album since 1996’s Vile (debuted at #151 on the Billboard Top 200 Chart).

Evisceration Plague was recorded at Mana Recording Studios with producer Erik Rutan (who also produced Kill) at the helm. Evisceration Plague tracklisting: 'Priests Of Sodom', 'Scalding Hail', 'To Decompose', 'A Cauldron Of Hate', 'Beheading And Burning', 'Evidence In The Furnace', 'Carnivorous Swarm', 'Evisceration Plague', 'Shatter Their Bones', 'Carrion Sculpted Entity', 'Unnatural', 'Skewered From Ear To Eye'.
