The incomparable Cephalic Carnage have returned to claim their place as the leaders of metal's new era of extremity with their ferocious new record Xenosapien. Cephalic Carnage synthesize everything great about metal, from spastic virtuosity to warp-speed grinding to the heaviest rock riffs ever unleashed. Xenosapien's mind-bending, technical insanity/mastery collides head on with the band's brutal metal roots to form their most immediate, hard-hitting, and finest album to date. Xenosapien is unquestionably one of the best heavy records of 2007, and proves once and for all that these unconventional visionaries are set to lead metal well into the 21st century.

Xenosapien is the fifth full-length album by Cephalic Carnage. It was released May 28th, 2007 on Relapse Records. "Endless Cycle of Violence" is the first single, and is available on the band's MySpace page. The album has received strong reviews, and peaked at #13 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart.
