Cannibal Corpse are touring. Blah blah blah.
After three long torturous years, death metals titanic kings, CANNIBAL CORPSE, return to Australia for a sarcophagic frenzy of sordid and demented proportions!
Their new ceaselessly hostile album release, TORTURE, proves that when it comes to combining unrestrained maliciousness, involved song writing and technical precision they still have no equal. The twelfth full-length of their inspiring twenty-four year career, the Floridian quintet have never sounded so vital, the album building upon the wealth of powerful, dark, and memorable songs comprising 2006's Kill and 2009's Evisceration Plague and pointedly upping the ante at every turn.
With blistering riffs, turbulent drums, ruthless and razored vocals, CANNIBAL CORPSE are THE pinnacle of death metal. Make no mistake. The sledgehammer force of the forthcoming live cannibalism will yet again prove this beyond any doubt.
CANNIBAL CORPSE with special guests performing at:
Oct 4th Adelaide – Fowler’s Live
Oct 5th Melbourne – Billboard The Venue
Oct 6th Sydney – The Metro Theatre
Oct 8th Brisbane – The Hifi

Paradise Disintegrates is the extremely promising Grindhead Records debut from Wollongong's New Blood; the latest in a slew of death metal bands harking back to the glory days of extreme music.
Not afraid to put any limitations to their sound, New Blood experiment with all elements of aggression, speed, groove, brutality, melody and dissonance across various extreme metal genres. The most prominent echoes of Paradise Disintegrates are the relentlessness of Cannibal Corpse, the slamming groove of Devourment and the blazing technical blunt trauma attack of Suffocation - though New Blood are sure to keep their eye on modern extreme music developments, incorporating bursts of influence from newer acts like the Aborted, The Faceless and The Red Shore.
New Blood are walking the left hand path path to hone their bloody craft by introducing a flair for musicianship while always consciously keeping themselves firmly tied to brutality and excessive violence as if it were their lifesblood. From the first guttural bellow, brutal blastbeat and frenetic tremolo-picked riff it becomes immediately clear that New Blood are not here to fuck around; they are here to break bones, piece organs and shatter skulls by unleashing the most uncompromisingly brutal aural battering they are physically able. It is that unwavering dedication to constant rehearsal and expansion of their sound and skills - coupled with a consistent stream of globally encompassing hatred and malcontent - that makes New Blood one of the most exciting Australian death metal bands to look out for.

Those cannibals of corpses Cannibal Corpse are headed to Australia and New Zealand during Septemeber 2009 thanks to Soundworks Touring. Man do those guys ever take a break!?
Full information and press release below.
What more can be said, in this Year Of The Corpse 2009, that hasn’t already been whispered, grunted or screamed about the almighty Cannibal? They’ve smashed—nay, hammer smashed—every boundary set before them, defied every censor set upon them, and besmirched every country that would have them. After two decades of unending death metal torment, the band’s calling cards are many: the depraved lyrics, the blinding technical prowess, the dominating stage presence, the legions of dedicated fans, the million and a half albums sold. Cannibal Corpse are slashing their way back to Australia and New Zealand to skewer us as all from ear to ear in support of their new album "Evisceration Plague"!
