A video of the song 'Death Walking Terror' from the album 'Kill' has been posted online at Yahoo! Music.

Cannibal Corpse bassist Alex Webster previously told MTV.com about the song choice for the new album.

"Every one of our songs has some kind of violent or dark imagery in it, but we have to look for songs that are a little less graphic. We only have a couple of songs on each record where the lyrics aren't more or less R-rated for violence. We have to carefully choose what songs we do videos for, because otherwise it won't make it passed the censors. The song 'Murder Worship', I think all of us would have liked to have done a video for that. But there's no way, with the decapitated heads and all."
