More Than Misery
Carnifex’s tenth album, *More Than Misery*, marks their first release for Sumerian Records and a sharp return to a rawer, more extreme sound. The review argues that the band has stripped away much of the polish of recent work, making this their most savage and relentless record yet.
The ten-track album retains breakdowns and groove-heavy riffs, but leans towards discordant, abrasive deathcore. “The Process Of Pain”, featuring Chaney Crabb of Entheos, is singled out as the catchiest track, while “Licking Love From A Knife” closes with an eight-minute assault; the album receives 8/10.
In short
- Carnifex’s tenth album is their first for Sumerian Records.
- The review calls it their most savage, unrelenting record.
- “More Than Misery” earns 8/10.
Explained simply
Carnifex are an American band known for deathcore, a style of heavy music that combines death metal vocals and riffs with breakdowns: slower, forceful passages in the rhythm. *More Than Misery* is their tenth album and their first released through Sumerian Records.
The record keeps the band’s groove-heavy riffs and breakdowns while using a rougher, more dissonant sound than their recent work. Entheos singer Chaney Crabb appears on “The Process Of Pain”; the album’s ten tracks range from that song to an eight-minute closing track.
