Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster has revealed that the band have finished the drum tracks for their upcoming album in Mana Studios in St Petersburg, Florida.

The as yet untitled album is the bands first since the 2006 release of 'Kill'.

Webster said "Paul [Mazurkiewicz] has finished all the drum tracks for our new album, and we think he did an amazing job. Things really went smoothly with the drum tracking this time, and that gave us a little extra time for Paul to get creative with some of the drum parts.

Everything is still fast and brutal as you'd expect, but there are a few different rhythmic ideas happening that we think our fans will appreciate. The next step for us will be to start working on a guitar sound, and then begin guitar tracking. The sound of the rhythm guitar is one of the most important things on a metal album, so we will take our time and make sure that we get the heaviest sound possible.

The recording of the rhythm guitars will be something we'll take our time with as well. Rob [Barrett, guitar], Pat [O'Brien, guitar] and producer Erik Rutan [Morbid Angel, Hate Eternal] are truly perfectionists when it comes to guitar tracking, they'll settle for nothing less than a flawless performance. That kind of dedication can make for a challenging recording session, but when the end result is a crushingly heavy album it's more than worth the time and effort."
