NEWS: Grave Infestation admit “Carnage Gathers”!

Before Grave Infestation join forces with Quebecois death dealers Sedimentum in disgracing the rotting stages of Europe in March, there is the small matter of “Carnage Gathers” to discuss. A full length album that comes three years after their infamous self titled record on 28th February via Dark Descent Records and Invictus Productions, it is preceded only by the title track. There are no pre-orders ahead of physical release as the band take things back to the stoneage…

Vocalist and guitarist Graham Christofferson states: “It’s a frantic death metal assault! Violent, and unrelenting. The fast parts are faster, the slow parts are slower and everything is just plain nastier. It’s like we made an album that sounds like it came out even before our first album

A putrid production, steeped in decay and malevolence, is the lifeblood of death metal. What we have here might just be one of the most grotesquely brilliant productions of the year. “The album was recorded and mixed with engineer Greg Wilkinson at the infamous Earhammer Studios in Oakland, producing a vile record that is a sonic push forward. We wanted the album dripping with disgustingness and bringing forward elements we love about sick, underground death metal. The great thing about working with Greg is he’s entrenched in the music we love and play. He could see our vision, and helped us make it happen. He had death metal solutions for death metal problems, along with great old cabinets and amps. Even the studio itself gives off deathly ambience

Each song references a story of someone’s strange relationship to death, real or fictitious. The cover art is related to the track The Anthropophagus, it’s about a 17th century French cannibal hermit. That’s the cave he lived in. People called him the Anthropophagus, which means cannibal, but he was just basically starved to madness
