September 18, 2013, 10 years ago
CANNIBAL CORPSE will be wrapping up their 25th anniversary celebrations for 2013 with a pair of shows in Florida, which has served as the band's base of operations since relocating to Tampa from Buffalo, NY in 1994. The shows are scheduled for November 29th in Ft. Lauderdale, FL at the Culture Room and November 30th in Tampa, FL at the Brass Mug. Tickets will be on sale this Friday at Ticketmaster.com for the Culture Room and TBA for the Brass Mug.
Founding member and bassist Alex Webster comments: "We are very excited to be doing these shows in Florida this November. We formed the band in the first week of December back in 1988 so these shows will be happening almost exactly 25 years after our formation. It will be great to celebrate our band's anniversary in the state that helped put death metal on the map. Also, we are very happy to be able play Ft. Lauderdale to make up for the show we missed there in June. And I think fans in both cities will be happy when they see the ticket price for these shows!"
Dates include:

On October 3rd, Cannibal Corpse will be inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall Of Fame. The ceremony will take place at the Tralf Music Hall in Buffalo, NY.
Original Cannibal Corpse vocalist Chris Barnes, who fronted the band from 1988 to 1995, and sang on their first four albums: Eaten Back To Life, Butchered At Birth, Tomb Of The Mutilated, and The Bleeding, has provided BraveWords.com with the following exclusive statement:
"It's such a great honor and privilege to find out that Cannibal Corpse has been inducted into the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame! For me to have been part of the beginnings of the band and starting out in Buffalo New York with all the guys and growing up in Buffalo, it's such an awesome feeling to know that the city is bestowing and recognizing our musical achievements with such a great honor. Thank you Buffalo for everything!!!"
