Alex Webster is best known for his fleet-fingered lines in the death metal band Cannibal Corpse, a name which instantly unnerves many people even before they hear the group’s songs, which are relentlessly aggressive and much loved by millions of headbangers worldwide. He’s one of the band’s founder members, along with drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz, and does most of their press, as he’s doing now because their fifteenth album, Violence Unimagined, is out.
Webster is also a respected educator, having authored the Extreme Metal Bass book in 2011 and written columns for Bass Guitar magazine from 2013 to 2015, and also plays progressive bass parts in projects such as Blotted Science and Conquering Dystopia.
