"Evisceration Plague" is scheduled for release on February 3, 2009 via

"Kill" was produced by
Erik Rutan (
HATE ETERNAL,
MORBID ANGEL) at his
Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Commented bassist
Alex Webster: "In
CANNIBAL CORPSE, our goal has always been to try and make each new album we record our heaviest. That goal was a bit more challenging this time since we were extremely satisfied with our last album
'Kill', but we knew that by working with producer
Erik Rutan at
Mana Recording Studios again, we would be able to start at that same level of heaviness and take it even further. Now that we can hear the finished product, I would say we've been able to achieve this goal, and I think our fans will agree.
'Evisceration Plague' has the best guitar sound we've ever recorded, and the entire band has never played with more precision and power. We can't wait until you all get a chance to hear the album in early 2009, because we think you'll be as happy with it as we are."

Commented
Alex Webster, "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."
