Guitarists Bert Vervoort and Jonathan Verstrepen of old school death metal revivalists CARNATION have partnered up with Guitar World to share a play-through for the song “Malformed Regrowth,” which is taken from their recent opus, ‘Where Death Lies.’ The clip can be seen at THIS LOCATION.

The duo comments: “We are very excited to present you our guitar playthrough of ‘Malformed Regrowth.’ This song was taken from our brand new album called ‘Where Death Lies’ (out now on Season of Mist) and is a straight-forward no-nonsense Death Metal track! The video was recorded by our very own bassist, Yarne Heylen, at the Project Zero studio, located in Bert’s backyard! We both use handcrafted Cathedral cabinets which give us a unique and warm sound. Bert uses a ‘Mayones Regius Gothic 6’ powered by an ‘EVH 5150′ amp and combined with a cheesy-named metal pedal called the ‘Boss Metal Zone.’ Jonathan uses a ‘Mayones Setius Gothic 6’ powered by an ‘Peavey 6505’ amp. Driven by the most chainsaw sounding pedal, The ‘Lone Wolf Audio Left Hand Wrath’. For the lead parts he uses the ‘Electro Harmonix Canyon’ delay. You will certainly notice the joy we (and our death metal loving studio cat) had while recording this video!”

‘Where Death Lies’ is out NOW and can be ordered, streamed, and downloaded HERE.

Embrace the new death metal overlords and their second full length ‘Where Death Lies’! CARNATION equals blistering and crushing death metal madness and, with this new chapter, return with relentless destruction and greater punishment than ever before.

Early 2013, guitar player Jonathan Verstrepen created the band to show his appreciation for the old school death metal legends from the ‘80s & early ‘90s. Vocalist Simon Duson, bass player Yarne Heylen, guitar player Bert Vervoort, and drummer Vincent Verstrepen were summoned to complete the band, and it didn’t take long until the chemistry between this quintet hit critical mass.

The Belgian’s first EP offering, entitled ‘Cemetery of the Insane’, was released upon the masses in 2015 . Tracks such as “Explosive Cadavers” or “The Rituals of Flesh” take you back in time to the better days of shredding riffs, neck-breaking drums, and skull-crushing guttural vocals.

The live rituals that followed were executed with stone cold merciless aggression. CARNATION delivered their bloodbath at select festivals across Europe during 2015 and 2016. Their next journey led them to distant Asia for their first tour across mainland Japan. This resulted in the infamous ‘Live at Asakusa Deathfest’ album, which saw the light in (2017). 

These releases, combined with their reputation as a notoriously impressive live act, drew the attention of fans worldwide and provided CARNATION with the opportunity to perform at several European festivals and saw the band touring alongside PESTILENCE during their special Brazilian tour in April 2018. After signing with Season of Mist in 2018, CARNATION welcomed new and loyal audiences to death’s domain and invited them to witness them rise to their throne!

CARNATION rage on in 2019 with more spectacular live shows at 70.000 Tons of Metal, Alcatraz (BE) and Damnation Festival (UK), as part of their touring rampage throughout Japan and Europe (with PUNGENT STENCH and DESERTED FEAR), before entering the studio for the recordings of a brand new album. The mastering for the new offering was done by the mighty Jens Bogren (SEPULTURA, ENSLAVED, ARCH ENEMY) at the Fascination Street Studios in Örebro (SE).

With ‘Where Death Lies’ a new chapter of abhorrence now begins and opens up a hellish path to resurrection, reincarnation, and immortality. You wanted death? CARNATION is here with a superior appearance performing new rituals in service of ancient deities. All hail the new death metal overlords!
