Cannibal Corpse Reveals New Album, Streams New Track

Posted on by

Death metal royalty Cannibal Corpse reveal the title of their new album, plus unveiled the release date, artwork and a new song! The cryptically titled A Skeletal Domain will drop on September 16th from Metal Blade. Their thirteenth studio album was produced by Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder) at Audiohammer studios in Florida. Long known as the most consistent, long-running act in death metal, bassist Alex Webster has this to say to Blabbermouth earlier:

 

“Consistency is often confused with repetition. We are established with what we do as a band, and we could relax and not push ourselves, but we try to push the envelope. That’s what makes this exciting,” Webster adds. “Anyone who really listens to this album with an open mind will hear that it’s not same-old same-old.”
