The undisputed masters of blackened deathcore have returned to ignite sonic memories of albums past with the scorch of old school sound. Set to be released in early Fall, 2021 via Nuclear Blast Records, 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. “ ‘GRAVESIDE CONFESSIONS’ is all the things you want to say, but don’t; the things you carry with you a little too long, sometimes right up to your deathbed. This record explores the spaces that we typically push to the side, in an honest and vulnerable way,” explains founder and vocalist Scott Ian Lewis. “There’s a release, a sense of humor, and a catharsis to be found in going there, especially when you don’t go there normally.“

 

“GRAVESIDE CONFESSIONS leaves an impression,” states Lewis, “not just from a superficial standpoint, but deeper. Listeners will recognize certain things when they compare what the record is, to whatthey know about the four of us. I hope they find some inspiration to push forward, themselves.”
