Cannibal Corpse Tap Ex-The Black Dahlia Murder Guitarist Brandon Ellis to Fill In for Rob Barrett for Upcoming Tour

Ever since he left The Black Dahlia Murder back in February, fans of guitarist Brandon Ellis have wondered what’s next for the ridiculously talented shredder. He’d said in his outgoing statement that he “must close this chapter and begin the next.” So…. what’s next?

It turns out that what’s next — at least temporarily — is a stint playing brutal death metal with the legendary Cannibal Corpse. According to a post on social media, Ellis said he’ll be joining the band to fill in for Rob Barrett, who unfortunately won’t be able to make the run of dates.

“I will be playing guitar with Cannibal Corpse this fall, standing in for Rob Barrett. I’m honored to help out and put on a killer death metal show for you all. See you there!”

Set to kick off on September 15 in Nashville, the tour will run until October 22 when things culminate in a final show in Charlotte, North Carolina. Along the way, the tour will hit some major cities, including Buffalo, New York; Phoenix, Arizona; San Diego; and others.
