CANNIBAL CORPSE Bassist Checks In From SOUNDS OF THE UNDERGROUND Tour

July 17, 2006

CANNIBAL CORPSE bassist Alex Webster has posted the following message on the band's official web site:

"We are currently on tour with the Sounds of the Underground tour, and everything is going very well. We've had great responses from the audiences at the shows we've done so far, and the tour crew and the other bands have been totally cool.

"If you're planning on checking us out at Sounds of the Underground, be sure to get there early, because we've been playing as early as 5:30 in the afternoon (the schedule is slightly different everyday). Also remember to check our merch booth and the Jagermeister booth, as we will be doing meet and greets at one or the other (sometimes both) on many of the tour dates.

"OK, we want to say a big thank you to everybody who's come out to the Sounds of the Underground tour so far, and we hope to see the rest of you soon!"

Following their appearance on this year's Sounds of the Underground trek, CANNIBAL CORPSE plan to launch a U.S. headlining run — the kickoff will most likely take place in early November. Webster also told MTV.com the band has plans to film a clip for "Death Walking Terror".

"Every one of our songs has some kind of violent or dark imagery in it, but we have to look for songs that are a little less graphic," he said. "We only have a couple of songs on each record where the lyrics aren't more or less R-rated for violence. We have to carefully choose what songs we do videos for, because otherwise it won't make it passed the censors. The song 'Murder Worship', I think all of us would have liked to have done a video for that. But there's no way, with the decapitated heads and all."

In late March, CANNIBAL CORPSE released "Kill", their 10th studio LP. 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.
