The set, which features a documentary and bonus CD materials, depicts the ups and downs of the band’s long, turbulent career, as well as footage of KATAKLYSM‘s performance at last year’s Summer Breeze festival, which took place August 18-20, 2011 in Dinkelsbühl, Germany. The cover art for the release was created by artist Colin Marks (ORIGIN, EXODUS, NEVERMORE) and can be viewed below.

CANNIBAL CORPSE‘s twelfth studio album, “Torture”, sold 9,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 38 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band’s previous CD, “Evisceration Plague”, also opened with 9,600 units to land at No. 66. That was more than 50 percent higher than the opening tally of CANNIBAL CORPSE‘s 2006 CD, “Kill”, which entered the chart at No. 170 after shifting more than 6,000 copies.
“Torture” was again produced by HATE ETERNAL‘s Erik Rutan at his own Mana Recording Studio in St. Petersburg, Florida as well as Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, and features the maniacal cover art by longtime CANNIBAL CORPSE artist Vincent Locke.
While “Torture” marks the latest progression in the band’s sound, it also witnesses a return to what drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz accurately terms “the frenzied attack of ‘Butchered At Birth’ (1991) or ‘Tomb Of The Mutilated’ (1992),” infusing the band’s advanced musicianship with the raw savagery that haunted their earlier releases, and in the process conceiving the definitive CANNIBAL CORPSE record.
On May 16, Montreal, Quebec, Canada metal radio show “Metal Attack MTL”, which airs on MetalMessiahRadio.com, conducted an interview with drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz of Florida death metallers CANNIBAL CORPSE when Paul was in Montreal to serve as a special guest judge for Round 5 of Heavy MTL‘s “Battle Of The Bands”. You can now watch the chat in two parts below.

Mark Morton of the Heavy Metal Examiner recently conducted an interview with drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz of Florida death metal veterans CANNIBAL CORPSE. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.
Heavy Metal Examiner: When I first listened to “Torture”, I was floored by how youthful and energized the band sounds. Can you explain to me how CANNIBAL CORPSE is retaining its freshness after all these years?
Paul: It’s a tough one to figure out, man. I think it has something to do that we’ve always loved what we do; the music is always aggressive, of course. But I know exactly what you mean. When we started writing these songs, they just came together so well. And these old-school tempos, which we haven’t really used much lately, we also started to bring back. I don’t know if it was a conscious effort beyond our desire to write some really great songs. First and foremost, it’s about having a catchy, brutal song. But the more I think about it, I think that Rob [Barrett, guitar] and Pat [O'Brien, guitar] really contributed moreso than they have in a while; especially Rob, who wrote three songs for this new record (every record he’s been on prior to this, he’d only written one per album). I think he really came into his own as a CANNIBAL songwriter with these three songs. And with Pat, who has contributed and collaborated a lot over the years, the four songs he wrote for “Torture” I think are arguably the best songs he’s ever written. The things these guys came up with really helped us create a more diverse record. I’m just glad it’s happening, and I think CANNIBAL fans will be really happy with it.
Heavy Metal Examiner: At what point did you notice that the game had changed for you? What I mean is, CANNIBAL CORPSE was on the vanguard of the whole gore/death metal genre, but there came a point where the infatuation with gore became almost comical and less menacing. And somewhere along the line, you recognized that and seemed to mature musically.
Paul: I know exactly what you’re talking about. I think really, ever since “The Bleeding”, we’ve began to evolve into what is now the “modern CANNIBAL sound.” Even though all our CDs are CANNIBAL CDs and you can tell them all apart, I don’t think it was until “The Bleeding” that we began to refine our songwriting and our musicianship. And we decided to keep moving up from that point on. There have been bands that have come and gone, and trends and fads, and certain styles that have come and gone, and we actually really try to stay true to where we started — as a brutal death metal band. We’ve been lucky that the older we got, the more attention we paid to what we were doing, and even more luckily, we are still writing records that the fans continue to love.
