Guitarist Rob Barrett had the following to say about the record:
“I believe that our songwriting has progressed in a manner where every song paves its own path, whether it’s a straightforward or technical song. Sometimes it’s a mix of both, so there’s no preconceived idea that we want to be more technical. The music just sort of takes its own course.”
Bassist Alex Webster also commented:
“To me, this album feels sort of like a continuation of ‘Violence Unimagined.’
I don’t think there was any conscious effort to make things more technical, so if it wound up that way it would just be a natural result of us trying to write the heaviest songs we could.”
Guitarist/producer Erik Rutan continued:
“I never go into a record thinking about anything, I just let the writing flow freely with no limitations. But this time, I knew I wanted to push the envelope a bit in a different direction than ‘Violence Unimagined’ — expand the dynamics, explore new territory without departing from what Cannibal Corpse is and always shall be.”
You can find an official video for “Blood Blind” from the album below. Drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz had the following to say about that:
“‘Blood Blind’ is about mass mutilations to reset the human race in a genocide that was embraced by the masses.”
Rutan added:
“‘Blood Blind’ was the first song musically that I wrote for ‘Chaos Horrific’. It all started with that funeral march of a first riff floating around in my head and it took off from there. Heavy and disturbing, it worked its way into an aggressive smorgasbord of depth and swirling darkness! I thought it would be great to collaborate so I had Paul add his lyrical stamp to it…”
