It seems mental to think that in the grand scheme of things Carnifex are now considered veterans of the Death Metal scene. 18 years into doing this and yet people still act like they only popped up recently. When you listen to their latest album Necromanteum, you can here that vintage running throughout. Somewhat erroneously…
For a generation that grew up with wallet chains and baggy jeans, the name 96 BITTER BEINGS will immediately strike a nostalgic chord.

They are arguably one of the most respected bands in heavy music. With that said, they have never been ones to make things easy for themselves. Their catalogue is littered with examples of…
25 years ago when Soulfly started, I don’t think anyone could have predicted the band they would become. Originally more of a nu metal band, they have amassed a diverse rich catalogue, featuring death metal, thrash, grind and punk influences across the board.
