  • Paul Mazurkiewicz Jr. (/məˈzɜːrkəwɪts/ mə-ZER-kə-wits;[2] born September 8, 1968) is an American musician best known as the drummer of the death metal band Cannibal Corpse. He was originally the drummer for the band Tirant Sin alongside two other future Cannibal Corpse members, Chris Barnes and Bob Rusay. The trio joined Alex Webster and Jack Owen in 1988, forming Cannibal Corpse. Mazurkiewicz, along with Webster, is one of the remaining members of the band since its inception. Besides drumming, he also plays the guitar, and is the group's primary lyricist and contributes heavily to composing songs; he penned the songs "Dead Human Collection", "Frantic Disembowelment", "Monolith", "Carrion Sculpted Entity", and "Worm Infested".[3] Mazurkiewicz is also the drummer for assorted side projects including Umbilicus and Heaven's Gate.

    Personal life

    [edit]

    Mazurkiewicz divorced in 2019. He has one daughter.[4] He became a vegetarian in 2002[5][6] and he lives with his family and animals on a farm-like property including a couple of acres of land.[7] In 2022 Mazurkiewicz took time to expand outside the death metal genre. He's co-formed Umbilicus, a 1970s style hard rock group with Deicide guitarist Taylor Nordberg. Mazurkiewicz also formed Heaven's Gate, a crossover thrash project featuring Municipal Waste vocalist Tony Foresta.

    Equipment

    [edit]

    Mazurkiewicz uses and endorses ddrum drums,[8] Zildjian cymbals,[9] Czarcie Kopyto pedals[10] and Regal Tip drumsticks.[11] He previously used and endorsed Tama Drums.
