"Scourge Of Iron," a brand new song from US metallers Cannibal Corpse, is available for streaming at this location.

Bassist Alex Webster commented: ""Scourge Of Iron" helps to show the song writing diversity on Torture. "Demented Aggression" is blazing fast and frantic, while "Scourge Of Iron" is a down tempo, pounding song. They're both death metal, but at opposite ends of the speed spectrum. Expect to hear this kind of variety throughout Torture. We've utilized many different tempos, rhythms, and feels in these songs with the goal of making an album that is varied and dynamic but also very brutal. On March 13th you'll get to decide whether or not we succeeded."

"Scourge Of Iron" comes off the band's forthcoming album, entitled Torture, which will be released on March 13 via Metal Blade Records. More details about the album were previously reported over here.
