Cannibal Corpse have released a brutal and gory video for their new track Code Of The Slashers.
It’s been lifted from the band’s upcoming album Red Before Black which will arrive on November 3 via Metal Blade Records.
The NSFW promo was directed by Zev Deans who says: “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.”
Speaking about the follow-up to 2014’s A Skeletal Domain, Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster says: “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.”
Drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz adds: “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. 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.”
The band have also announced a UK and European tour for February and March next year. They’ll be supported by The Black Dahlia Murder, No Return (between February 9-25) and In Arcadia (between February 27- March 18).
Tickets go on sale on Friday (September 22). Find a full list of the band’s European dates below.
