CANNIBAL CORPSE To Record New Album In September
January 29, 2011, 13 years ago
Bassist Alex Webster from extreme metal legends CANNIBAL CORPSE spoke with Rock Sins recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
Rocksins: At the moment, you currently have no tour plans for 2011; can we expect something to be announced soon?
Webster: "Most likely not. We have no plans to tour in 2011. We are currently home in the Tampa Bay area writing our next album, we’ll record it in September so that will leave us with an early 2012 release. So, we’ll probably wait to tour until the album is released."
Rocksins: You have a new DVD coming out in February called Global Evisceration; can you tell us a bit about that?
Webster: "The DVD was filmed in several different countries that we visited on the Evisceration Plague World Tour. It has lots of concert footage as well as behind the scenes footage. Denise Korycki, the filmmaker behind our Centuries Of Torment DVD also made this one, and once again we feel she has done an excellent job."
Rocksins: Cannibal Corpse have been together now for over 20 years, what keeps you guys motivated after all these years?
Webster: "We still really love to play this kind of music. Of course, we need to make a living as well and this band is our career so that’s a motivator too, but our love of death metal is still the strongest driving force. We really feel that we have yet to make our best album, and we won’t be satisfied until we have made something that we can consider our masterwork. We may never get there, but we’ll keep trying."
