Suddenly everybody is interested in Cannibal Corpse again. Having announced a new album, releasing a new song and embarking on the prestigious ‘Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Tour’ things are really kicking into gear once again for the death metal legends.

As the band kicks into overdrive, frontman George ‘Corpsegrinder’ Fisher took some time to speak to the LA weekly and discuss what is likely to be a major influence on the lyrical themes of Cannibal Corpse – his nightmares.

While one could hardly imagine what a nightmare would be like for Corpsegrinder, he iterates below:

I’m doing a side band with Shannon Lucas, who plays in Battlecross and used to play in The Black Dahlia Murder, and Adam [Dutkiewicz], from Killswitch Engage. I was up at Adam’s recording vocals for the project, and he has woods on the edge of his house…They kept telling me I’m gonna see a bigfoot near the woods, or something. And that night, after we were done with the recording, and everyone went to bed, I had these dreams.

I was in between the deck and the woods, like in no-man’s land, and I could see all these glowing eyes coming, like all these werewolves and bigfoots and just fucked up shit coming at me, and I was like, “Oh, fuck! I’m gonna have to sit here and fight!” And I remember I was fighting them. Then I woke up…I didn’t get eaten or nothing. But I wasn’t running from them. I was standing my ground.

It appears that Corpsegrinder’s solution to terrifying nightmares is to stand up and fight anything that gets in his way. The true overlord of hellish frontmen?
