Death metal icons Cannibal Corpse are pleased to unleash a video for “Vengeful Invasion”. The track comes by way of the band’s critically-adored “Chaos Horrific” full-length, released last Fall via Metal Blade Records.
The video was directed and edited by Zev Deans and shot by Brendan McGowan with SFX makeup by Nina Carelli, AI footage manipulation by KingCon2k11, and stars Actually Huizenga from the band Patriarchy. With “Vengeful Invasion”, a human trafficking revenge tale spirals into grotesque phantasmagoria in the spirit of Japanese horror classics.
Since 1988, Cannibal Corpse has remained at the forefront of death metal, shaping and defining the genre. In 2021, they raised the stakes again with their “Violence Unimagined” full-length. In 2023 they returned with its successor, the equally monstrous “Chaos Horrific”, consequently beginning the next chapter in their legacy. Produced again by guitarist Erik Rutan, who has now produced six of the band’s albums, “Chaos Horrific” 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.
“Chaos Horrific” slaughtered Billboard charts upon its first week of release, earning the #7 position on the Billboard Album Sales chart, #2 on the Hard Music Albums chart, #3 on the Rock Albums chart, #5 on the Independent Label Albums chart, and more!
