CANNIBAL CORPSE finished 2009 at an all-time high. The band headlined the Hot Topic Stage on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival and released what has become one of its fastest-selling albums to date. "Evisceration Plague"'s title track was the first video the band completed; the next will be the brutal and lyrically graphic song "Priests Of Sodom". The video will be available for fans to see online soon.

Commented bassist Alex Webster: "We had a great time working with [director] Kevin Custer [HATEBREED, TESTAMENT, SUFFOCATION, OVERKILL] on the 'Priests of Sodom' video; he was totally professional and really seemed to understand what to do with our music. He brought a lot of cool new ideas to the table, ideas that may very well make this our most intense video yet. We're all very psyched to see the final product."

"Priests Of Sodom"'s lyrics can be found in the Vince Locke-illustrated CANNIBAL CORPSE "Evisceration Plague" 96-page graphic novel, which is still available in VERY limited quantities.

CANNIBAL CORPSE recently completed the the Decimation Of The Nation 2 North American tour with HATEBREED, BORN OF OSIRIS, UNEARTH and HATE ETERNAL.
