Cannibal Corpse Graphic Novel

Cannibal Corpse released details on their MySpace about their upcoming graphic novel:

Death-metal icons CANNIBAL CORPSE are issuing a limited-edition 96 page comic book exclusively at the Hot Topic booth on this summer’s Rockstar Mayhem Festival tour. Drawn entirely by Vince Locke, who illustrated the acclaimed graphic novel ‘A History of Violence’ and each of the band’s album covers, the Evisceration Plague comic graphically depicts a story for every song on the band’s album of the same name—arranged in order, no less. As an added bonus, each copy comes with a copy of the album……. ..“Vince Locke has done an incredible job turning our lyrics into blood-soaked and vicious illustrations for the Evisceration Plague comic book. He really has captured visually what we were trying convey lyrically. His artwork has brought our macabre songs to life in truly explicit fashion…fans of graphic horror will not be disappointed,” comments bassist and founding member Alex Webster……. ..Check out a preview of the comic HERE and don’t forget to grab a copy at Mayhem this summer before they sell out!

Throwdown Post Album Update

Throwdown have posted an update on their upcoming album “Deathless” on their MySpace:

K, we’ve got some rough Deathless tracks in our hands…

…and I’m sorry that I can’t play them for you yet cus holy SHIT am I stoked on these songs.  If you follow us on Twitter, you probably read that shameless self-promotion isn’t really my strong point, but I can’t begin to tell you how proud I am of this album and it isn’t even MIXED yet. At the risk of sounding parental, I can’t begin to express how proud I am of Mark for the songs he wrote for Deathless.  Mind blowing how some of them came together when all was said and done.

Thanks to the insanely flattering initial review from our close friends that we’ve played these songs for including Mental, Kirk and our friends in Demon Hunter / Invisible Creature Studios. Seriously left me speechless! Can’t wait for Ryan to start working on this album art…wouldn’t be a Throwdown record without him packaging it! If things come together for the concept we’ve been talking about, you guys are in for something special.  Don’t wanna jinx anything, though!!

Anyhow, we’ll have nothing but news coming your way ahead, so check back in and go follow us on Twitter too if you’re interested in complete shinfo* as well (*See Andy Williams of ETID).

See you at the Huntour show in California or in Europe real soon. We’ll try to not make the rest of you guys wait that have been sending us the very kind messages about wanting to see us.

Love,
Dave & Td

Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz is also expected to contribute guest vocals on an unspecified track. The track “The Marvelous Slut” can be found on the Every Time I Die MySpace. The bands frontman Keith Buckley had the following to say:

“New Junk Aesthetic is not the next logical step in the progression of Every Time I Die. It is an evolutionary leap. It’s as if we have morphed from a single-celled bacteria straight to the guy with the dirt bike that will let you watch his older sister suntan if you steal him a smoke from your parents. Certainly you may acknowledge similarities, but on a grand scale, they stand light years apart.”

New Junk Aesthetic is due out September 15th.
