BLABBERMOUTH - SLASH Ponders GUNS N' ROSES ROCK AND Roll HALL .

Rocksins recently conducted an audience with bassist Alex Webster of Florida death metallers CANNIBAL CORPSE. A pair of excerpts from the chat follow below.Rocksins: CANNIBAL CORPSE have been together now for over 20 years, what keeps you guys motivated after all these years?Alex: We still really know to bring this sort of music. Of course, we want to realize a life as good and this band is our career so that's a motivator, too, but our bed of death metal is yet the strongest driving force.

We truly find that we possess yet to have our best album, and we won't be satisfied until we have made something that we can see our masterwork. We may never get there, but we'll keep trying.Rocksins: At the moment, you presently have no tour plans for 2011; can we expect something to be announced soon?Alex: Most probably not. We make no plans to go in 2011. We are currently home in the Tampa Bay Area writing our next album, we'll read it in September so that will give us with an early 2012 release. So, we'll probably expect to go until the album is released.Rocksins: You hold a new DVD coming out in February called "Global Evisceration". Can you tell us a bit about that?Alex: The DVD was filmed in various different countries that we visited on the "Evisceration Plague" world tour. It has dozens of concert footage as well as behind-the-scenes footage. Denise Korycki, the filmmaker behind our "Centuries Of Torment" DVD, also made this one, and once again we feel she has done an excellent job.Rocksins: The last two CANNIBAL CORPSE albums have been a lot less graphic in price of the album art. Has this been a conscious decision or something that has naturally happened?Alex: A slight of both I guess. We prefer darker and more ominous covers these years as opposed to the bright, graphically violent splatter themes of our older covers. It seems to fit the music we're currently making a bit better. Also, having a less graphic cover helps to see it will be usable in book stores. These days many record stores are out of business, so if we can't get our album into the few that remain there would be little spot in releasing a physical product. The way about this trouble that works out better for us and our fans is to make two pieces of art for the album. A darker, less graphic cover and so something more red and graphic inside. The censors seem to cut the interior artwork so the trouble of being prohibited from book stores is avoided. Also, our fans seem to enjoy getting two pieces of art instead of only one.Read the full interview from Rocksins.
