Longtime deathcore mainstays Carnifex have officially signed with Sumerian Records, marking the start of a new chapter for a band that has been around for two decades. Alongside the news of the signing, the band also dropped a brand new single, “Roses and Rotting Corpses”, along with an accompanying music video, which you can check out below:
Since 2005, the Southern California band has been one of the leading pioneers of the deathcore genre and has remained at the top of the mountain ever since. The new single proves the band hasn’t slowed down a bit; if anything, they have stepped it up another notch.
Speaking on the new single and the signing, the band stated, “We’ve entered a new era of Carnifex, and I couldn’t be happier to do it with Sumerian Records. Carnifex and the team at Sumerian have parallel histories going back nearly two decades, so to finally be working together on what will arguably be our best album is an incredible feeling. Our new song ‘Roses & Rotting Corpses’ is just the beginning of this next chapter.”

The band are currently touring the US on the Chaos & Carnage Tour with Bodysnatcher, 200 Stab Wounds, Ingested, Gates To Hell, and Bodybox and just wrapped up a killer set a week ago in Daytona at Welcome To Rockville.
