San Diego death metal outfit CARNIFEX is pleased to announce the release of their Nuclear Blast debut on March 7th (Europe), 2014 and March 4th (North America). The new album, entitled »Die Without Hope«, was recorded at Audiohammer Studios in Sanford, Florida and produced by the esteemed Mark Lewis (ARSIS, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, WHITECHAPEL, DEVILDRIVER, DEICIDE, SIX FEET UNDER).
Cover art for the album was created by renowned artist and longtime collaborator, Godmachine. "CARNIFEX and Godmachine have been working together for many years,” commented vocalist Scott Lewis. “To be able to bring his art to the cover of this album is truly when all the pieces fell into place. The artwork here represents the tone and overall blackened feeling »Die Without Hope« captures."
»Die Without Hope« will deliver 10 tracks and over 35 minutes of crushing metal. Lewis states, "»Die Without Hope« is CARNIFEX at our very best. This is an album over two years in the making. We pushed ourselves every step of the process to include new elements never before heard on any previous CARNIFEX album."
»Die Without Hope« track listing:
01. Salvation Is Dead
02. Dark Days
03. Condemned To Decay
04. Die Without Hope
05. Hatred And Slaughter
06. Dragged Into The Grave

On recently signing to Nuclear Blast, Lewis continues: “Signing with Nuclear Blast is a career defining moment for CARNIFEX. 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.”
