The undisputed masters of blackened deathcore, CARNIFEX, have returned to ignite sonic memories of albums past with the scorch of old-school sound. On September 3rd, the band will release their eighth studio album via Nuclear Blast Records. Today, the band releases the music video for the track “Graveside Confessions”. Check out the video directed by Jim Louvau and Tony Aguilera, here: https://youtu.be/itxd3KGKwHc
CARNIFEX comments, “This is an immensely personal album to all four of us. We poured our hearts with all the love, fear, and pain we know into this album. Please take the journey with us.” 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.
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.
Graveside Confessions will be available in the following formats:
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.

Rob CellaComments Off on 1126 RECORDS SIGNS MOUTH FOR WAR NEW ALBUM LIFE CAST IN GLASS OUT MAY 14 BAND PREMIERES VIDEO FOR NEW SONG “MANIFESTING YOU”AT METALSUCKS — WATCH 1126 RECORDS has added Colorado groove x death band MOUTH FOR WAR to its roster. The band will release its label debut Life Cast In Glass on May 14. Pre-order it here. Check out the video for “Manifesting You,” which premiered over at MetalSucks, here. “I wrote all of Life Cast In Glass about my little sister who was killed in January 2020,” says singer Trae Roberts about the emotional depth of the album and the new track. “The song, ‘Manifesting You,’ touches on the subject of some very vivid painful dreams I had during my time of grieving — nights of anxiety attacks in my sleep where I swore I could see the silhouette of my sister. This album is packed full of my grief and deep feelings that I find hard to share with anyone, and I’m very excited to get this piece of art off my chest.” Mouth For War are a five piece metal x hardcore band from Colorado. Formed in 2019 by members of Bruise and Remain and Sustain, the band hit the ground running with the release of their debut EP, An Ear Kept to the Ground, and multiple tours. The band takes on classic hardcore and metal sounds like Kickback and Sentence with a smooth modern twist of influences from Lamb of God and The Devil Wears Prada. Despite the global setbacks of COVID, Mouth For War have no intention of slowing their roll and will grind hard as soon as the smoke clears.
