CANNIBAL CORPSE: New Audio Interview Available

August 19, 2008

CANNIBAL CORPSE bassist and founding member Alex Webster was interviewed last week by MTV's Headbanger's Blog for a podcast which is available for streaming and download at this location. Webster talks about the band's upcoming album (due out in 2009),CANNIBAL CORPSE's seven-plus-hour DVD set "Centuries of Torment" (which came out July 8) and the recent reconciliation with former vocalist Chris Barnes. Webster also discussed the seeming normalcy of serial killers, America's obsession with the macabre, the return of genuinely unnerving movies, the horrors of digital technology, the new generation of gore-grind and more.

"Centuries of Torment – The First 20 Years" sold 2,100 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 8 on the Top Music Videos chart.

In a recent interview with ChartAttack.com, Webster stated about the set, "We did work hard on both the documentary and DVD itself. I know it seems long at first, but once you're watching it, you realize how hard it is to pare down 20 years of history — shows, albums, tours and everything else — into a couple of hours. You can only give so much attention to everything, and these great moments end up getting cut. But we're confident that what made it into the documentary will be entertaining to our fans. It is great that we even have Chris [Barnes, original vocalist] talking about the band in it. Most people thought we'd either skip over that or he'd want no part of it, but he was all for it. I think that because we ensured he's a part of things, fans will really appreciate the effort we put forth."
