Belgian death metal stalwarts of CARNATION have shared the title track from their upcoming full-length, ‘Where Death Lies”. The record is due on September 18. “Where Death Lies” can be heard at THIS LOCATION.
Frontman Simon Duson comments: “Our third single for the upcoming ‘Where Death Lies’ album is none other than the title track. If you’ve been looking for thrashy hooks and groovy beats, look no further! This track is a fast one, but it switches gear right when the punishing chorus hits. It contains what we consider the catchiest chorus on the album, and we simply can’t wait to start performing this one live. The lyric video was made by Aimed & Framed, and it showcases the beautiful artwork that master Juanjo Castellano has once again created for us.”
Pre-orders for ‘Where Death Lies’ are now available in various formats HERE.
The cover artwork for ‘Where Death Lies’ was again created by the talented Juan Jose Castellano Rosado.

Belgian death metal stalwarts of CARNATION are now premiering the second brand new track “Iron Discipline”, taken from the bands upcoming full length ‘Where Death Lies’ (Out Sept 18). Watch the new offering via the official Season of Mist YouTube channel HERE.
The album is set for worldwide release on September 18th, 2020. Pre-orders are available in various formats HERE.
Frontman Simon Duson comments: “With ‘Iron Discipline’, we unleash our second creation from the upcoming ‘Where Death Lies’ full-length. ‘Iron Discipline’ is the opening track of the album, and it takes you straight into the action. It showcases some of the most groove-oriented parts on the record, culminating into a piece that is bursting with power and heaviness. Older fans of the band should definitely find what they are looking for on this track. ‘Where Death Lies’ in its entirety contains quite some variance. It is the result of our effort to write a balanced record with elements that both defined and refined Carnation. We hope this second step towards the release has peaked your interest even more.”

————-
Early 2013, guitar player Jonathan Verstrepen created the band to show his appreciation for the old school death metal legends from the ‘80s & early ‘90s. Vocalist Simon Duson, bass player Yarne Heylen, guitar player Bert Vervoort, and drummer Vincent Verstrepen were summoned to complete the band, and it didn’t take long until the chemistry between this quintet hit critical mass.
The Belgian’s first EP offering, entitled ‘Cemetery of the Insane’, was released upon the masses in 2015 . Tracks such as “Explosive Cadavers” or “The Rituals of Flesh” take you back in time to the better days of shredding riffs, neck-breaking drums, and skull-crushing guttural vocals.
The live rituals that followed were executed with stone cold merciless aggression. CARNATION delivered their bloodbath at select festivals across Europe during 2015 and 2016. Their next journey led them to distant Asia for their first tour across mainland Japan. This resulted in the infamous ‘Live at Asakusa Deathfest’ album, which saw the light in (2017).
These releases, combined with their reputation as a notoriously impressive live act, drew the attention of fans worldwide and provided CARNATION with the opportunity to perform at several European festivals and saw the band touring alongside PESTILENCE during their special Brazilian tour in April 2018. After signing with Season of Mist in 2018, CARNATION welcomed new and loyal audiences to death’s domain and invited them to witness them rise to their throne!
CARNATION rage on in 2019 with more spectacular live shows at 70.000 Tons of Metal, Alcatraz (BE) and Damnation Festival (UK), as part of their touring rampage throughout Japan and Europe (with PUNGENT STENCH and DESERTED FEAR), before entering the studio for the recordings of a brand new album. The mastering for the new offering was done by the mighty Jens Bogren (SEPULTURA, ENSLAVED, ARCH ENEMY) at the Fascination Street Studios in Örebro (SE).
With ‘Where Death Lies’ a new chapter of abhorrence now begins and opens up a hellish path to resurrection, reincarnation, and immortality. You wanted death? CARNATION is here with a superior appearance performing new rituals in service of ancient deities. All hail the new death metal overlords!

Frontman Simon Duson comments: “Finally, the gateway to the ‘Sepulcher of Alteration’ has been opened. With great exhilaration, we encourage you all to venture forth and witness our newest creation of aural devastation. Like most tracks on the ‘Where Death Lies’ album; ‘Sepulcher of Alteration’ deals with the pursuit of physical reincarnation, the challenges laid forth in obtaining set goal, and the impending punishment for desiring it…
With ‘Sepulcher of Alteration’, we offer a first glimpse at a few new elements that are featured on ‘Where Death Lies’. The Carnation sound has truly witnessed a natural evolution during the songwriting process of this album; and we can’t wait to show you more.
Dreaming of what’s to come… Freedom to rise beyond.”
