CARNIFEX IN CONCERT:
San Diego deathcore favorites Carnifex took their name from the latin word for "butcher", and fans at their bone-crunching live shows will have no trouble seeing why. The band's decibel-shattering sound recalls legendary groups like Dying Fetus, Dark Funeral, and Slayer, and their epic live shows live up to the comparisons, whipping fans into a frenzy with an aggressive onslaught of sonic mayhem. Leading the charge is frontman Scott Lewis, whose guttural growls are perfectly accompanied by Shawn Cameron's pummeling drums, Fred Calderon's heavy bass lines, and Jordan Lockrey and Cory Arford's razor sharp guitar riffs. It all adds up to a raw, intense live experience that leaves ticket buyers thoroughly rocked and ready for more.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Deathcore band Carnifex was formed in San Diego in 2005 by vocalist Scott Lewis and drummer Shawn Cameron. The following year they released their debut EP Love Lies in Ashes, which earned them a record deal with underground label This City Is Burning Records. They made their full-length debut in 2007 with Dead In My Arms before inking a deal with Chicago-based Victory Records. After touring extensively with bands like Emmure, Whitechapel, and MyChildren MyBride, and bringing crowds to venues like the Summit in Denver to capacity, Canifex released their sophomore album, 2008's The Diseased and the Poisoned, a Top 20 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart. After two more albums -- 2010's Hell Chose Me and 2011's Until I Feel Nothing -- they announced an indefinite hiatus and played three farewell shows in California at the end of 2012. But it wasn't the end for the band -- Carnifex returned in full force in 2014 with their fifth studio album Die Without Hope.
I mean, it was 5 extremely hardcore bands, the sound quality was amazing, I was very close to the stage even being just GA. Overall a very pleasant experience!
This tour was fantastic. I hadn’t heard of Crown Magnetar or Left to Suffer. But those were perfect bands to get this tour started. Carnifex never disappoints with their performance and who they bring out with them. The venue was also perfect for this show.
The venue was amazing you could feel the sound through the floors it was an amazing experience
Every single band on the lineup; Carnifex, spite, oceano, left to suffer, crown magnetar, they all kicked ass. I had an awesome time. Much needed experience. Crowd was great, bands were awesome. Beer prices were too much but whatever
Beyond the Grave gave an incredible show! Enterprise Earth was amazing, and Carnifex was slamming! Great show, great venue
Awesome show. She Must Burn wasn't that interesting, I didn't like how the singer acted disappointed or upset when the audience didn't take his cues to jump or headbang. Everyone else was amazing. Lorna Shore got the floor moving and everyone was hype past that.
10/10 would go again. Carnifex was on fleek. Within the ruins was on point. Lorna Shore knew what was up. The Last Ten Seconds Of Life threw down.
Carnifex live with Oceano and Withen The Ruins, Was the best show i have ever seen, It blew my mind every single second of this show. You would be an idiot to not go.
