Carnifex announce new album ‘World War X’

CARNIFEX have announced a new album!

Titled World War X, the upcoming album from the California-based metallers is their seventh studio album and is scheduled to be released in August.

The upcoming album was produced by the band and Jason Suecof (DEATH ANGELCHELSEA GRINJOB FOR A COWBOY). The album was recorded and mixed by Jason at AudioHammer Studio in Sanford, Florida. Vocals for the album were tracked by Mick Kenney (ANAAL NATHRAKHBLEEDING THROUGH) at The Barracks Studio in Huntington Beach, CA. The album artwork was created by Blake Armstrong.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be taken from the upcoming album; titled No Light Shall Save Us. The new song features an appearance from Alissa White-Gluz of ARCH ENEMY and the music video directed by Scott Hansen (POSSESSEDMOTIONLESS IN WHITEDEICIDE, PRONG).

Speaking about the new song, frontman Scott Ian Lewis says, “collaborating with Alissa on No Light Shall Save Us was a joy from the start. Alissa was able to elevate the song with a dynamic that’s completely new for CARNIFEX. There is a melody and depth on No Light Shall Save Us unlike any previous CARNIFEX song. It’s the perfect start to your journey through World War X.”

“With No Light Shall Save Us I think CARNIFEX and I have been able to create a really special piece,” comments Alissa White-Gluz. “The video shoot was an incredible experience and from the second I read the lyrics and heard Scott’s vision for the song I knew I could really build on it and express myself. I’m excited to share this with the world!”
