CANNIBAL CORPSE: 'Huge Thank You' To Australian Fans

October 26, 2006

CANNIBAL CORPSE has issued the following update:

"We have just returned from a very successful tour of Australia and New Zealand.

"We would like to thank the guys at Soundworks Touring for doing such a great job with the organization and promotion of the tour. Thanks also go out to Darren and all at Stomp for the help they gave us before and during the tour, and to the clubs and local promoters that helped make the tour possible. We would also like to say thanks and hello to PSYCROPTIC, PLAGUE, and ULCERATE. It was great to share the stage with such killer bands while we were down there. Finally, and most importantly, we would like to say a huge thank you to all of the fans who attended the shows in Australia and New Zealand.

"We had not been to Australia in many years, and we had never been to New Zealand, so we were not entirely sure what to expect. The size and enthusiasm of the crowds was even greater than we had hoped for, and we wanted to make sure you all knew how much we appreciate that. We got the chance to hang out with a lot of friends old and new, and you all made the long trip and hectic schedule (8 shows in 8 days, with flights between each city) more than worth the effort for us. We'll make sure that we return to Australia and New Zealand a lot more often, because you guys rule!"

As previously reported, George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher of CANNIBAL CORPSE is the latest metal musician to lend his voice to the cartoon series "Death Clock Metalocalypse". Fisher recently recorded his part and reportedly "did a great job." Other musicians who have contributed to the series include King Diamond, Michael Amott (ARCH ENEMY),Warrel Dane (NEVERMORE),Steve Smyth (NEVERMORE),Jeff Loomis (NEVERMORE),Kirk Hammett (METALLICA) and James Hetfield (METALLICA).

CANNIBAL CORPSE's video for the song "Death Walking Terror" has been posted online at YouTube.com. The track comes off "Kill", the band's 10th studio LP, which came out late March. The album debuted at No. 170 on The Billboard 200 chart, selling more than 6,000 copies in its first week. It was the second time in the band's career that one of its albums breached the mostly pop-friendly list; in 1996, "Vile" opened at No. 151, with more than 6,100 copies sold.
