Cannibal Corpse have shared an audio stream of Red Before Black.

It’s the title track from the US outfit’s upcoming 14th studio album, which will arrive on November 3 via Metal Blade Records.

Speaking about the follow-up to 2014’s A Skeletal Domain, Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster said: “Throughout our career we’ve tried to improve the precision of both our musical execution and our album production, while still maintaining full-on aggression.

“Red Before Black continues in that direction, but might go even further on the aggressive side of things. It’s definitely precise, but it has a rawness to it that goes beyond anything we’ve done recently.”

Drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz added: “We really worked super hard crafting these songs, practicing them and getting them where we wanted to be more so than on any of our previous albums.

“As Alex said, musically I think it’s the most raw sound we’ve had – and at the same time I think it’s our most focused, tightest and catchiest record.”

Cannibal Corpse recently announced a 2018 European tour and launched a video for Code Of The Slashers. Red Before Black is now available for pre-order.
