Guitarist Rob Barrett said the following:

“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.”

A video for the effort’s first single, “Blood Blind,” can be found below. Drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz said the following 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…”
