Cannibal Corpse and Mayhem 2023 Tour Announcement – US Tour Schedule
Rise up, death metal fans! Cannibal Corpse and Mayhem are embarking on a co-headlining tour this fall, which will be a doozy. Joined by Gorguts and Blood Incantation, the two groups are kicking off on September 22nd in Nashville, TN, and continuing through October 21st in Louisville, KY.
Cannibal Corpse and Mayhem both deliver a brutal live experience comprised of raw energy, guttural growls, and decades’ worth of death metal choruses that have made them genre legends. But when they come together? Things are about to get more intense in the best way. Prepare for an unprecedented alliance that will leave a trail of sonic destruction in its wake…because this is any death metal enthusiast’s dream.
Let’s start with Cannibal Corpse, who are set to release their sixteenth record, Chaos Horrific, later this year to coincide with their 35th anniversary. Fans have already heard the first single, “Blood Blind,” which serves crushing riffs, sick tempos, and a cinematic music video masterpiece! Even after three decades, Cannibal Corpse still reigns as the King of Death Metal. And we know that other new songs, like “Overlords of Violence,” “Vengeful Invasion,” and “Pitchfork Impalement, will be just as epic.
The band members state that Chaos Horrific is somewhat like a continuation of its predecessor, 2021’s Violence Unimagined, and recently opened up about the first single. “‘Blood Blind’ was the first song musically that I wrote for Chaos Horrific,” says Cannibal Corpse member and producer Erik Rutan. “It all started with that funeral march of a first riff floating around in my head, and it took off from there.”
“Heavy and disturbing, it worked its way into an aggressive smorgasbord of depth and swirling darkness!” he concluded. Is there any better way to describe Cannibal Corpse? Their distinctive brand of darkness manifests into a zealous, disruptive live show that makes even the biggest death metal fans wide-eyed. And we can’t wait to see it! Especially with their friends in Mayhem waiting on the sidelines.
The Norwegian black metal band will celebrate four decades together next year… can you believe it? There’s no denying that Mayhem has been through a lot together, from the tragic deaths of bandmates Per Yngve Ohlin and Øystein Aarseth to their (possibly earned?) reputation as a menace to live music. However, they come out on top every time, and you’ll get insight into every piece of their powerfully tragic career on tour.
Expect to hear all the best Mayhem hits, including “Freezing Motion,” “Necrolust,” and “Life Eternal,” plus modern favorites from their latest album, 2019’s Daemon! They’re going to cause a riot alongside Cannibal Corpse on one of 2023’s most insane death metal tours. And tickets are available now for the following dates!
