Carnifex sign to Sumerian Records for ferocious new single Roses & Rotting Corpses

Carnifex are back with a new single, Roses & Rotting Corpses – and it’s properly nasty.

After a decade with Nuclear Blast, the deathcore legends have signed to Sumerian Records for the next chapter of the band, which kicks off with their first new release since their 2023 album Necromanteum. Chances are, there'll probably be more from the SoCal bruisers to come in the near future too.

“We’ve entered a new era of Carnifex, and we couldn’t be happier to do it with Sumerian Records,” they say. “Carnifex and the team at Sumerian have parallel histories going back nearly two decades, so to finally be working together on what will arguably be our best album is an incredible feeling. Our new song ‘Roses & Rotting Corpses’ is just the beginning of this next chapter.”

• Lorna Shore: “The band’s growing so fast that it’s hard to keep your hands on the wheel. Sometimes you’ve got to let it drag you around"
• NECKBREAKKER: “We wanted to make an old-school death metal album that hits in the same way as a modern hardcore record"
• Gatecreeper: “Death metal is sacred, and you’re passing it from generation to generation… a lot of genres don’t have that”
