CARNIFEX To Unleash 'Hell Chose Me' This Month

February 2, 2010

Taking a darker and more blasphemous approach to their already visceral sound, California-based deathcore band CARNIFEX will unleash "Hell Chose Me" on February 16 via Victory Records. Blood-curdling screams, guttural growls, double-bass fury, and razor-sharp guitar riffs make for sinister and brutal work.

As the follow-up to 2008's death metal masterpiece "The Diseased And The Poisoned", CARNIFEX's third album takes aggression to the next level. Influenced by the likes of CANNIBAL CORPSE, SUFFOCATION, and THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, this San Diego quintet really knows how to bring the brutality. Growing in notoriety, CARNIFEX has been featured in Kerrang!, Outburn and Revolver magazines.

"From when we started to now, a lot has changed," states vocalist Scott Lewis. "The progression we've gone through is staggering. With the confidence we have in this record, we know we will be making new fans.

"If anybody is expecting CARNIFEX to lighten it up, better luck next time. Dark, sick, painful — that's the concept of this album lyrically, and the music brings all of that emotion and puts it right inside your head."

"Hell Chose Me" track listing:

01. Hell Chose Me
02. Dead Archetype
03. Entombed Monarch
04. Names Mean Nothing
05. Heartless
06. Sorrowspell
07. The Scope Of Obsession

Soon to return from the Bonecrusher Fest tour in Europe, CARNIFEX will begin to annihilate the masses in San Diego, California on March 5 on the Atticus Metal Tour.
