Cannibal Corpse was formed in Buffalo, NY in 1988. Bassist Alex Webster is one of two original members, the other being drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz, from that lineup still in the band. In almost 40 years the legendary death metal band has released 15 studio albums, a few live albums, and a handful of EPs.

In 2021, the group released album 15, Violence Unimagined, and the death metal purveyors are unveiling their 16th album, Chaos Horriffic, in two days (09/22/23) while embarking on yet another tour.Video version: http://www.lambgoat.com/podcast/FOR MORE ON CANNIBAL COPRSE:https://www.instagram.com/cannibalcorpseofficialhttps://twitter.com/corpseofficialhttps://www.facebook.com/cannibalcorpsehttp://www.cannibalcorpse.net/FOLLOW LURK:https://www.instagram.com/lurkcity/https://www.twitter.com/lurkcity/https://www.iamlurk.com/FOLLOW LAMBGOAT:https://www.instagram.com/lambgoat/https://www.twitter.com/lambgoat/https://www.facebook.com/lambgoatmusic/https://www.lambgoat.comSubscribe / Stream "The Vanflip Podcast" on:iTunes/Apple: http://bit.ly/iTunesVFPodcastSpotify: http://bit.ly/SpotifyVFPodcastStitcher Radio: http://bit.ly/StitcherVFPodcastTuneIn: http://bit.ly/TuneinVFPodcastGoogle Play Music: http://bit.ly/GPMVFPodcastRSS Feed: http://bit.ly/RssVFPodcast Learn more about your ad choices.
