The undisputed masters of blackened deathcore, CARNIFEX, have returned to ignite sonic memories of albums past with the scorch of old-school sound. Today, the band releases their eighth studio album via Nuclear Blast Records. In celebration, the band offers fans the visualizer for the track “Cold Dead Summer”.
CARNIFEX comments, “‘Graveside Confessions’ is available everywhere today, this record is 100% for the fans that kept us alive all these years, come see us on tour and get the record!”
CARNIFEX’s GRAVESIDE CONFESSIONS is no stranger to the harsh world in which it was created. While all of humanity experiences the turmoil of pain, weakness, and betrayal, it is also deeply ingrained in our nature to keep these notions closely protected; to keep them secret. Often as we approach death, we feel an insatiable need to reveal these things to one another; to confess.
CARNIFEX have hit the road with THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER on their 32-date “Up From The Sewer” tour with AFTER THE BURIAL, RIVERS OF NIHIL, and UNDEATH. Catch them live on the following dates:
The undisputed masters of blackened deathcore, CARNIFEX, have returned to ignite sonic memories of albums past with the scorch of old-school sound. In less than a month, the band will release their eighth studio album via Nuclear Blast Records. Today, the band releases the live video for the track “Slit Wrist Savior”. Check out the video filmed during their “Road to Rock Fest 2021” tour, here:
CARNIFEX comments, “We revisited Slit Wrist Savior all these years later to remind ourselves where we started and to remind the fans what having fun in the pit is all about.”

The album arose just in time to aid in celebrating the 15 year anniversary of the debut CARNIFEX album, DEAD IN MY ARMS. The band revisited their first album to re-record 3 songs, but now with huge advancements in production technology. A return to their roots, these songs act as the completion of a circle; a return to where things first began.
With the engineering of the record completed in-house by drummer Shawn Cameron, the band recorded the album at Back Lounge Studios in San Diego, CA almost entirely themselves with the help of Mick Kenney (ANAAL NATHRAKH, BLEEDING THROUGH) for the mixing and mastering. This process especially compared to CARNIFEX albums of the past developed a far more satisfying and concentrated artistic vision for the band. CARNIFEX enlisted English artist GODMACHINE, who has worked on the two previous albums, to create the next installment of visual art for Graveside Confessions.

A thunderstorm of extreme metal will be rolling over Europe in February 2022! Californian deathcore outfit CARNIFEX teams up with CHELSEA GRIN to tear apart venues all over the continent. Starting in Karlsruhe on February 4th, the squad will travel 23 cities bringing heavy neckbreakers and massive breakdowns to the people – together with their high class support bands LORNA SHORE, VARIALS and THE CONVALESCENCE.
You can catch this tour monster in these cities:
The tour remains subject to the global pandemic situation!!!
The band released their last album “World War X” in 2019. The album was produced by CARNIFEX and Jason Suecof (DEATH ANGEL, CHELSEA GRIN, JOB FOR A COWBOY). The album was recorded and mixed by Jason at Audiohammer Studio in Sanford, Florida. Vocals for the album were tracked by Mick Kenney (ANAAL NATHRAKH, BLEEDING THROUGH) at The Barracks Studio in Huntington Beach, CA. The album artwork was created by Blake Armstrong.
San Diego deathcore pioneers, CARNIFEX, have released a music video for their new single, “Pray For Peace”. Directed and edited by: Jim Louvau & Tony Aguilera, the video can be seen below.
CARNIFEX comments, “With each song we release, our goal is to take you further into the abyss, further from reality. ‘Pray For Peace’ is no exception. A nihilist’s anthem with blasts, bounce, and breakdowns to keep you pitting! See you on the road!’
The song recorded earlier this year at Back Lounge Studios in San Diego, CA. It was produced by the band & Mick Kenney (ANAAL NATHRAKH, BLEEDING THROUGH) who along with Shawn Cameron engineered the single. Mick was also responsible for mixing and mastering. The artwork for the single was created by Alexandre Goulet.
Recently, the band released a cover of KORN’s “Dead Bodies Everywhere” single off 1998’s Follow The Leader. Check out the visualizer for the cover of KORN’s “Dead Bodies Everywhere” here: youtu.be/vZkyn7audf4
