🏛️ About Metal Blade Records

Born from a record store clerk’s passion project in 1982, Metal Blade Records became the engine behind countless legendary bands. Brian Slagel famously helped launch Metallica via Metal Massacre, and went on to shape the careers of Slayer, GWAR, Amon Amarth, Cannibal Corpse, Fates Warning, The Black Dahlia Murder, and dozens more.

In recent years, Metal Blade has celebrated its 40th anniversary with live events, reissues, branded spirits, and a second book from Slagel, Swing of the Blade. The museum is the physical embodiment of that legacy—a love letter to the fans and the genre that continues to evolve and endure.

🎙️ In 2024, the label launched the “100 Songs That Define Heavy Metal” podcast with Pantheon Media, hosted by Slagel himself. Featuring in-depth analysis, historic commentary, and appearances from artists like James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, and Stephen Pearcy, the show offers an authoritative deep dive into the songs that forged the metal genre.

Cannibal Corpse Unleashes “Summoned for Sacrifice” Video / Single Chaos Horrific Full-Length Nears Release Via Metal Blade Records

Cannibal Corpse Unleashes “Summoned for Sacrifice” Video / Single

Chaos Horrific Full-Length Nears Release Via Metal Blade Records

Legendary death metallers CANNIBAL CORPSE today unleash their latest single and accompanying video for “Summoned For Sacrifice.” The pulverizing new hymn comes by way of the band’s sixteenth studio album, Chaos Horrific, set for release on September 22nd via Metal Blade Records.

Since their 1988 inception, CANNIBAL CORPSE has remained at the forefront of death metal, shaping and defining the genre. In 2021, they raised the bar again with their Violence Unimagined offering. And in celebration of their thirty-fifth anniversary, this year’s monolithic Chaos Horrific full-length, written shortly after the conclusion of the Violence Unimagined sessions, continues the trajectory.

While the band is notorious for technicality and complex songwriting, that doesn’t define where the writing process takes them. With Chaos Horrific, CANNIBAL CORPSE had no master strategy, approaching each track with an open mind, intent on simply composing the best songs possible. Produced again by guitarist Erik Rutan, who has now produced six of the band’s albums, starting with 2006’s Kill, (Chaos Horrific marks Rutan’s second release as a full-fledged member, since officially joining the band in 2020), the record is, without question, a full-on, CANNIBAL-style death metal outing, straight down to the themes, which include zombie warfare, resetting the human race through mass mutilations, and the violent revenge of victims of human trafficking, and its cover art by longtime collaborator Vince Locke.

Watch CANNIBAL CORPSE “Summoned For Sacrifice” video

Of the band’s second single, “Summoned For Sacrifice,” themed around the selection of an individual to be dismembered, drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz elaborates, “One person is randomly selected to die. Thirteen people are randomly selected to kill this person by violently removing pieces of his body until he breathes no more.”

Watch CANNIBAL CORPSE “Summoned For Sacrifice” video, directed by David Brodsky and produced by Allison Woest of My Good Eye.

Chaos Horrific will be available on digipak CD, deluxe box set (Dried Blood Marbled vinyl, 24p 12″ booklet, puzzle, pin, poster, and art print – limited to 1500 copies), cassette (limited to 500 copies), digitally, and on vinyl in the multiple variants:

Metal Blade Museum to Open Its Doors to Fans on Saturday, August 19!

August 3, 2023 Evol Radio

Metal Blade Records Museum, located in Las Vegas, NV, is ready to welcome fans once again. Brian Slagel is opening up the museum doors on Saturday, August 19, and it will be accessible every Saturday from thereon.

On the opening day, Saturday, August 19, Lizzy Borden himself will be present to take a stroll through the museum.

The operating hours are from 12 pm to 5 pm PT, and tickets are available [here](link to tickets).

Ticket holders will receive the museum address after purchase.

About Metal Blade Records:
Founded on Brian Slagel’s relentless drive to discover great bands and share their music with as many people as possible, Metal Blade has been bringing waves of powerful, innovative, and genre-defining music to the metal masses since 1982. The label boasts a diverse and stunning catalog, has weathered challenges faced by independent labels, and celebrated its successful four-decade existence in an era of declining record sales.

Metal Blade Records launched legendary bands like Metallica, Slayer, Armored Saint, Fates Warning, GWAR, Cannibal Corpse, Amon Amarth, Whitechapel, The Black Dahlia Murder, Cattle Decapitation, and many more, shaping the culture of hard rock, metal, and extreme music for over forty years.
Brian Slagel, once a record store clerk, reserved a spot for a young Lars Ulrich on his Metal Massacre compilation series, and Metal Blade has since grown from humble beginnings in Los Angeles into an international powerhouse, selling millions of albums while fiercely maintaining its independence. In 2017, Slayer’s Kerry King inducted the label into the Hall of Heavy Metal History.

Slagel’s book “For the Sake of Heaviness: The History of Metal Blade Records” was released the same year.
