As Transcending Obscurity Records has described, the Turkish band Carnophage do seem like some legendary mythical entity that arises every eight years, not slumbering as long as locust swarms but biding their time and making their plans for longer than most metal bands in between releases.

Their second album, 2016’s Monument, followed the first one, Deformed Future/Genetic Nightmare, by eight years, and eight years have again elapsed since then. Thus, it is time for a new Carnophage album to create havoc and wonder, and we will all have it via Transcending Obscurity on August 2nd.

In those eight years, it’s fair to say there’s been a Vesuvius-like eruption in the number of bands who could be branded with the “technical death metal” label. But they haven’t all been cut from the same cloth. And although there is a high risk of reaching a saturation point, it’s still possible to stand out from the crowd.

It you happened to hear the first advance track from this album, a song called “At The Backside Of Our Civilization”, you already have an idea of the ways in which Carnophage have elevated themselves from the masses with this new album. We’re giving you further evidence today, as we present the debut of another song, this one named “Resistance Against Mind Clouding Heresy“. Continue reading »
