March 31, 2015

The Cerny Brothers have successfully created a new sound for their music which originally was acoustic, folk elements to a more electric rock style. All the while, they have captured their folk spirit as it fits so well with their new music. Check out the video for their new song, Porch Lights: The song is off of their upcoming album, Sleeping Giant, which will be released worldwide on May 12th, 2015 via Krian Music Group. The album was recorded at legendary Bear Creek Studios in Seattle with producers Jerry Streeter and Ryan Hadlock, who are known for their work with Brandi Carlile and The Lumineers.

Carnifex heavy it up with an intensely energetic set on the Ashes To Ashes Tour

March 31, 2015

We were glad to check out the final day of Chelsea Grin’s Ashes To Ashes Tour in Sacramento at the Ace of Spades this past weekend. The night included a variety of great bands and Carnifex was there to deliver a much needed heavy dose of modern death metal. It was great to see so many fans in the crowd sporting Carnifex merch and even more so to witness the intense magnitude of the circle pit and non stop crowd surfing. It was unbelievable to watch and you couldn’t help but get drawn in with their fierce vibe. You will also see that their sound appeals to generations as you will find old school metal heads headbanging to them right next to the up and coming generation. All fueled by their love of the brutal death metal music of Carnifex. Check out Rockin Ryan’s photos from the set: Carnifex are heading out to Europe for more non stop touring as they inject their death metal to the masses!
