I know how to record at home and that wound up not being a problem, it was definitely different but not a problem. My wife and I moved to Oregon several years ago and I’ve just been going out whenever I need to do stuff with the band and then living here the rest of the time. So I ended up staying and recording my tracks at my home studio in Oregon, the other guys all still live in Florida in the Tampa area. The recording sessions for this new album took place last year around April to June and I believe the final master wasn’t even done until around July, but anyway! That was right in the middle of the most anxiety filled time of the pandemic – it was still a very new thing and all these travel restrictions were coming in place and nobody knew what was coming next. Erik himself has contributed to 3 songs lyrically and musically for this one and of course, his lead/rhythm guitar playing is heard throughout this record, that’s a fairly big change! But you know, he’s been playing Death Metal for as long as we have and he’s got a very developed style that we wanted to integrate into our sound and I think we managed to do that pretty well for Violence Unimagined! So there’s that! Another difference of course would be the lockdown/pandemic related issues we had. You’ve probably seen in the press release that we’ve had a line-up change and Erik Rutan is replacing Pat O’Brian permanently within the band and this is his first album playing with us. Well first of all, a few things have been different. So, your new album! As a huge Cannibal Corpse fan, I’m loving the new singles so far and I’m incredibly eager to hear everything as soon as it’s out! What can you tell us so far about Violence Unimagined? I’ve caught up with founding member and renowned bassist Alex Webster to chat about their new album, how they’ve been getting on as a group and how it’s been working with their most recent addition to the lineup. Releasing on the 16th April, “ Violence Unimagined” consists of 11 tracks as well as work from their newest guitarist Erik Rutan. With a distinguished history dating back over 30 years, Death Metal legends Cannibal Corpse continue to hold recognition as one of the most prominent Extreme Metal bands out there and are set to add a 15th album into their notoriously graphic, violence infested discography.
