Durbanites Carnage Carnival sprang to prominence within the national metal scene earlier this year when they landed themselves at the 2014 Wacken Metal Battle: South Africa finals in Gauteng. With that momentum, the KZN thrash/groove-infused quintet could not have timed it better to release their debut album still within the same year. Carnage Carnival tease us this week with ‘The Hunt’, their first single off the forthcoming self-titled album. The date for full release has been promised as 01 December.
“We will be touring the album in December, starting in Durban with two shows alongside Contrast The Water and Bleeding Spawn. The song we are releasing (The Hunt) is the best of both Thrash and Groove. It has epic guitar harmony parts and is a live favorite for many of our fans.” ~ Kris Xenopoulos (guitar, Carnage Carnival)
The band have also promised the release of a music video prior to the album, but in doing so will reveal a second track ‘Cosmic Bleeding’ from the Carnage Carnival album. To keep your finger on the pulse of this promising Durban act, visit their facebook page and watch this space for tour dates.
