"One person is randomly selected to die. Thirteen people are randomly selected to kill this person by violently removing pieces of his body until he breathes no more." - Paul Mazurkiewicz
While the band is notorious for technicality and complex songwriting, that doesn’t define where the writing process takes them. With "Chaos Horrific," CANNIBAL CORPSE had no master strategy, approaching each track with an open mind, intent on simply composing the best songs possible. Produced again by guitarist Erik Rutan, who has now produced six of the band’s albums, starting with 2006’s Kill, ("Chaos Horrific" marks Rutan’s second release as a full-fledged member, since officially joining the band in 2020), the record is, without question a full-on, CANNIBAL-style death metal outing, straight down to the themes, which include zombie warfare, resetting the human race through mass mutilations, and the violent revenge of victims of human trafficking, and its cover art by longtime collaborator Vince Locke.

"Summoned for Sacrifice"
Music: Rob Barrett / Lyrics: Paul Mazurkiewicz
Thirteen chosen by the elders to kill
One chosen by the elders to die
Summoned for sacrifice
Taken to a dungeon
Where others have perished before him
Enveloped in fear and silence
Arms and legs are shackled
Awaiting in the darkened cold
The time has now arrived
Dissected then exterminated
Torches lit, the room starts to glow
Twenty six eyes gazing at the prey
One by one they will mutilate him
With knives in hand they’ll take their turn
Removing pieces of his body
He’ll be made to suffer
Til’ he breathes no more
The first one cuts off a foot above the ankle
As the blood begins to spray
The second one hacks off a hand at the wrist
The third one does the same
The fourth one slices off the other foot
The fifth one his whole leg
The sixth one chops off one of his arms
Not much of him remains
Close to death red liquid flows
In a few minutes it will be over
One by one they will mutilate him
With knives in hand they’ll take their turn
Removing pieces of his body
He’ll be made to suffer
Til’ he breathes no more
Until he breathes no fucking more
Summoned for sacrifice
(BARRETT SOLO)
Thirteen chosen by the elders to kill
One chosen by the elders to die
Summoned for sacrifice
(RUTAN SOLO)
Why this must happen no one knows
Mindless sheep doing what they’re told
One by one they will mutilate him
With knives in hand they’ll take their turn
Removing pieces of his body
He’ll be made to suffer
Til’ he breathes no more
The seventh one severs the other leg
Without thinking he licks the blade
The eighth one takes care of the remaining arm
The ninth one extracts the tongue
The tenth one carves off the face of this human stump
The deed is almost done
The eleventh one extracts both of the eyes
The twelfth one plunges steel into the heart
Close to death red liquid flows
In a few minutes it will be over
The thirteenth one will decapitate him
With knives in hand they took their turn
Removing pieces of his body
He was made to suffer
Until he breathed no more
