Evisceration Plague
Evisceration Plague is the eleventh studio album by American death metal band Cannibal Corpse.

The album entered the US Billboard 200 at number 66, selling 9,600 copies its first week. Background
Bassist Alex Webster said about the record:

In another interview with Terrorizer magazine, drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz stated his thoughts on the album saying: "I think working with Erik again has definitely brought things up a little for us. I mean all the band were involved in the writing process of this album along with Rutan and so I think this one's a tad more individual than Kill." Release and promotion
The cover art was released December 14 and samples were made available through Amazon.com. The album was released with a bonus track in Europe and DVD as a deluxe edition. An autographed version of the album is now available for pre-order on the Metal Blade Records website.
