February 19, 2009

Barry Anderson of Metal Storm conducted an interview with vocalist George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher of Florida death metallers CANNIBAL CORPSE on February 17, 2009 in Nottingham, England. Watch the chat in two parts below.

CANNIBAL CORPSE is currently on the road in Europe as the support act for CHILDREN OF BODOM.

"Evisceration Plague", the new album from CANNIBAL CORPSE, has registered the following first-week chart positions:

Austria: #41
Canada: #38
Germany: #42
Holland: #105
USA: #66

"Evisceration Plague" sold 9,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release. (Note: Nielsen SoundScan initially reported a first-week total of 7,500 for "Evisceration Plague", but that number has since been "adjusted," according to the band's record label, Metal Blade Records.) This is more than 50 percent higher than the opening tally of the band's previous CD, "Kill" (2006),which landed at No. 170 after shifting more than 6,000 copies. In 1996, CANIBAL CORPSE's "Vile" premiered at No. 151, with more than 6,100 copies sold.

Commented CANNIBAL CORPSE bassist Alex Webster: "We are blown away by the amazing response to our new album 'Evisceration Plague'. The chart positions that have been reported for this album are well beyond our expectations and the response from both critics and fans has been overwhelmingly positive. We want to say thank you to everyone at Metal Blade and Channel Zero for the great work they did on this release, and most importantly we want to thank our incredible fans; you are the reason for our great success. Thank you, you guys rule!!!!"

CANNIBAL CORPSE shot a video for the "Evisceration Plague" title track on January 21 in Northern New Jersey. The clip was helmed by veteran video director Dale "Rage" Resteghini, who has previously worked with MUDVAYNE, TRIVIUM and HATEBREED, among many others.

"Kill" has sold more than 55,000 copies in the United States since its 2006 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
