About Alex Webster

Alex Webster is an American musician who is the bassist and a co-founder of the death metal band Cannibal Corpse. He is one of two original remaining members, alongside drummer Paul Mazurkiewicz. He is also the bassist of Blotted Science and the supergroup Conquering Dystopia. Before Cannibal Corpse was formed, he was a member of Beyond Death. It showed we didn't necessarily have to be playing at warp drive and have gory lyrics to be heavy." Webster is known for his interaction with fans of the band, regularly answering questions on the band's forum. On the first two Cannibal Corpse albums, Webster played a Fender Precision Bass that was purchased for him by his mother for his 19th birthday. Aside from metal, Webster has also expressed a liking for Ohio New Wave band Devo, and, when asked what a musical guilty pleasure of his was, he replied "there's some good songs from the first No Doubt album". Webster recorded bass for Hate Eternal, Erik Rutan's death metal band.
