Carnifex have been hinting at some pretty big news over the course of the last week, and now it's here! They're singing with Nuclear Blast and will be releasing a new record.
According to the band via their Facebook:
To be aligned with the largest metal label on earth is a true honor. This world-wide deal signals a turning point for us as a band and individuals. Together with Nuclear Blast you will see Carnifex like you have never seen us before. Prepare yourself for an album that crushes any and all expectations. An album that will stand as the definitive mark for modern metal.
CARNIFEX will begin recording their Nuclear Blast debut this July at Audio Hammer Studios in Sanford, FL with famed metal producer Mark Lewis (ARSIS, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER, DEICIDE, SIX FEET UNDER). Expect a release tentatively sometime in the first quarter of 2014.
Pretty cool, but I wonder if it'll be the usual fare for the band or if they're really going to crank it up a notch for the next record. They're saying Winter of 2014, but also that they've just begun writing it… and a definitive mark in modern metal? We'll see about that, so I'm at least a little keen on hearing the album when it's out. What's your take on this?
