CANNIBAL CORPSE Bassist Checks In From Europe

March 12, 2007

CANNIBAL CORPSE bassist Alex Webster has issued the following update:

"I just wanted to let you all know how our European tour is going so far. Today [March 8] we're playing in Slovenia, which will be the 14th show of the tour, so this show marks the halfway point. So far all of the shows have gone really well, the audiences have been excellent night after night. We also were very happy to finally play in Romania and Bulgaria. It was our first time playing in either of those countries, but it certainly won't be the last. Both countries have great death metal scenes, and we hope to return there when we tour for our next album. The other countries we've been through so far have been: France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Greece, and Serbia, which was last night. We've met a ton of cool people at every show, so I'd like to say hello and thanks to any of you who might be reading this.

"OK, sound check is going to start in a few minutes, so I'd better get going. Thanks again to all the fans who have come to the shows so far; see the rest of you soon!"

To celebrate Metal Blade's 25th anniversary, the label has just reissued CANNIBAL CORPSE's 1996 fifth studio album — the first to feature current vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher — "Vile", with an additional four-track DVD filmed at San Francisco's Berkeley Square on February 3, 1997. The CD features a 12-page booklet and completely revised artwork.

CANNIBAL CORPSE's video for the song "Death Walking Terror" has been posted online at YouTube.com. The track comes off "Kill", the band's 10th studio LP, which came out in March 2006. The album debuted at No. 170 on The Billboard 200 chart, selling more than 6,000 copies in its first week. It was the second time in the band's career that one of its albums breached the mostly pop-friendly list; in 1996, "Vile" opened at No. 151, with more than 6,100 copies sold.
