ABOUT CARNIFEX:
CARNIFEX's latest album Slow Death was produced and recorded by CARNIFEX and Mick Kenney (ANAAL NATHRAKH, BLEEDING THROUGH), and co-produced by Jason Suecof (DEATH ANGEL, CHELSEA GRIN, JOB FOR A COWBOY). Slow Death was mixed by Mark Lewis (THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER, DEICIDE) at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida. Cover art for the album was created by renowned artist and longtime collaborator Godmachine.
While approaching their sixth full-length album, Slow Death, CARNIFEX possessed a distinct vision. The San Diego metal quintet-Scott Lewis [lead vocals], Shawn Cameron [drums], Cory Arford [rhythm guitar, backing vocals], Fred Calderon [bass], and Jordan Lockrey [lead guitar]-would build on the expansiveness of 2014's critically acclaimed Die Without Hope as they brought a definitive darkness to the fold.
"We wanted to take the next step," affirms Scott. "On the last album, we started utilizing orchestration and additional programming in terms of classical and electronic sounds. We elevated that to a new level here. That's why there's a dark vibe that runs through the whole album. It adds a layer of atmosphere that gives you a different feeling."
CARNIFEX began carving out that bond with the audience way back in 2005. Over the course of four albums-Dead in My Arms, The Diseased and the Poisoned, Hell Chose Me, and Until I Feel Nothing-the band attracted a diehard following. Engaging a hiatus in 2012, they returned a year later with a vicious and vigorous vitality. It's only grown since and is on full display in Slow Death.
