Gorguts and Blood Incantation to join Cannibal Corpse and Mayhem on tour
Joining Cannibal Corpse and Mayhem on the tour will be death metal bands Gorguts and Blood Incantation. Blood Incantation is best known for their second studio album, Hidden History of the Human Race, which peaked as a chart topper on the Billboard Heatseekers album chart.
Cannibal Corpse is going on tour to support their upcoming album, Chaos Horrific. The band elaborated on their upcoming album and its development process during the album announcement press release.
“I believe that our songwriting has progressed in a manner where every song paves its own path, whether it’s a straightforward or technical song. Sometimes it’s a mix of both, so there’s no preconceived idea that we want to be more technical. The music just sort of takes its own course."
Producer Erik Rutan later stated:
"I never go into a record thinking about anything, I just let the writing flow freely with no limitations. But this time, I knew I wanted to push the envelope a bit in a different direction than Violence Unimagined; expand the dynamics, explore new territory without departing from what Cannibal Corpse is and always shall be.”
