January 27, 2023 James Weaver

VISCERA have announced a new album!

Titled Carcinogenesis, the upcoming album from the UK deathcore band is the follow-up to 2020’s Obsidian, and is scheduled to be released in March this year, via Unique Leader Records.

Speaking about the upcoming album, vocalist Jamie Graham says, “Carcinogenesis has been a long time coming! There’s been a ton of changes since the release of [debut album] Obsidian in terms of both the band’s plans and how we’ve approached writing. Musically we’ve tried a few new things in terms of tempos and key. We’ve had Charlie Michael join on guitar who has brought a few new additions to the VISCERA sound on this record. He’s a massive shredder so there’s some insane lead guitar between him and Adam. We’ve gone a little more over the top with use of melody and atmosphere. There was also a decision to bring it as heavy as we could on a couple of songs to balance that dynamic out. Demon Queen is almost completely clean singing! Lyrically/thematically, this album continues on from Obsidian with Delilah’s soul reaping cover. This time the energy she has gathered feeds her tyrannical partner, who in turn uses the newly absorbed life force to corrupt all around him. Metaphorically it’s a statement of how humanity tends to feed of others only then to tear itself apart.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; Rats With Wings. Speaking about the new song, Graham says, ”
