Album Announcement: Carnosus - Wormtales (Sweden, 2024.10.18)
From the band via Facebook:
Whispered among worms were the rumors of a new album by death metal outfit Carnosus. Heavier and darker, slithering its way from Örebro, Sweden, comes Wormtales, a prequel to the critically acclaimed 2023 album, Visions of Infinihility. Wormtales contains some of the band's most impressive riffs thus far and once again lures the listener into the realm of infinihility.
Release date: October 18 on Willowtip Records
Track Listing:
- Birthless
- Within Throat, Within Heart
- Neglectikon
- Yearnings of A Rotten Spine
- Worm Charmer
- Harbinger of Woundism
- Paradoxical Impulse
- Wound of Wisdom
- Cosmoclaustrum
- Solace In Soil
Credits: Recorded and produced by Carnosus (except drums; recorded and produced by Robert Kukla & Dennis Rosic). Re-amped, mixed and mastered by Robert Kukla at Obsidian Recording Studios. Cover artwork by Timon Kokott.

I promise I’m not dead, just very busy with both work stuff and life stuff. Thanks to other posters for contributing content to the community! I definitely don’t intend to be the primary poster long-term lol
New Releases This Week, 2024.5.31
Light on proper tech this week, here's a mix of tangentially related stuff that might be worthwhile
Mods are drunk, post/comment your off-genre recommendations!

Whitechapel - The Saw Is the Law (USA-TN, 2014)
Obviously, any metal with "death" in the genre name never ends up literally on the radio. But some singles are catchy in a way that feels like a radio jam. This is one of my best examples of that, alongside Aversions Crown - Hollow Earth and Carnifex - Pray For Peace
That’s good to know: I don’t know Gorod as well as I should, and I picked this track pretty hastily
Hell yeah Snarky Puppy! And I’d never heard of Forq before, thanks for sharing. Always cracks me up to make those discoveries: we’re both here for metal, but also both enjoy upbeat modern jazz like that too
Aw Volbeat. Makes me think of Lola Montez, been a long time lol
Totally allowed! I’ll give that a shot, thanks for sharing
Yeah agreed, reminds me a bit of the voicemail intro to Archspire’s A.U.M.
Maaaaaan - this is what’s cool about the huge umbrella that is metal. It includes the stuff I always post on this community, yes, your JFAC, your Carnosus, relentless techy wankery. But it also includes beautiful operatic melodic metal like this. The guitar work makes me want to go explore the ruins of a temple, and the vocals make me want to soar above it. This is what Mods Are Drunk Friday is for, thanks for sharing
I can’t decide if this’d be better with Stu Block hair metal vocals, or unintelligible slam vocals, but I’m here for it either way
Yeah same here, I’m not too good at identifying tech/black/prog/melo/core elements, I just go for what sounds good. Hell yeah Esoteric Malacology, love Crop Killer. Tomb Mold is good too, but I know Planetary Clairvoyance better than The Enduring Spirit. The others are new to me, so I’ll check those out, thanks!
Nice! Yeah that’s true. I’m always down to explore though. What are some of your favorite blackened death releases? Maybe maybe I’ll queue up a Black[ened] Friday tomorrow
Glad you like! Tbh I posted it just because everyone’s talking about this album, but it hasn’t really resonated with me. I’ll have to give it another shot
Iiiiiii have not listened to Nightwish in a decade or two, but I would love to revisit, thank you for resharing. Reminds me of how I used to use Dimmu Borgir - Sympozium as an alarm lmao
Ugh that’s really tough, they’re both solid. I agree about the slight edge to Moon Healer. It’s just hard to set aside how big a stylistic change Sun Water had been from previous releases, how much Jonny’s vocal range had expanded, etc. Felt really fresh at the time. But goddamn, Agony Seeping Storm…
Ok awesome. Well welcome to the community! Feel free to post whatever you like, I’m pretty liberal with genre bounds, so a little black/prog/melodic/core creeps in a lot of the time. My main focus is music discovery, including for myself, so I’ll definitely check out Underdark and Agriculture, those are not names I’ve heard. JFAC has been a favorite forever, so I’ll talk about them all day long lol
Hell yeah, glad you agree. Let me know if you have any similar bands to recommend, I’m on a kick. So far I’ve got Eye of Horus (latest album anyway, Noxium), Fallen Utopia, and sort of Aviscerus, Scent of Death, and Ignominious Incarceration.
People seem to be all about the new Replicant, but I gotta say Griefgod and The Night We Died are really giving me life today!
Ha, that is 100% what I did, oops. “Gorgasm, now there’s a name I haven’t heard in forever.”
Finnish punk is the kind of stuff I’d never bump into organically. Thanks for sharing, stoked to look into this!
