Carnal Tomb Drops New Single "Dismembered Flesh"
Carnal Tomb has dropped the complete two-track digital single "Dismembered Flesh" today, on October 8, 2024.

"Dismembered Flesh" is an enthusiastic tribute to seminal Swedish death metal icons DISMEMBER and GRAVE.

Carnal Tomb Reveals New Album Details
Berlin, Germany based death metal outfit Carnal Tomb has unleashed a new lyric video for the song, "The Putridarium," the first single from their new album, "Embalmed In Decay," which will be released on November 3rd. You can check it out below.
"After 'Osseous Sarcophagus', our drummer Vomitchrist wrote 'The Putridarium' as his second song for 'Carnal Tomb,'" guitarist and singer Cryptic Tormentor explains. "The track features some riffs that he wrote all the way back in 2008. Its sinister and fast forward nature made it the perfect opener for 'Embalmed in Decay'. It comes with everything that we love about death metal: blast beats, doom sections, even some groove, a massive triplet riff, and various solo sections of lead guitar and bass. While writing this song, Vomitchrist was inspired by bands like Grave Miasma and Cruciamentum. The lyrics were inspired by crypts in Italy that have the same name: putridarium. We used this track also as a foundation for the album cover. In combination with the intro, which was created by our good friend Leonhard Link, this song very much sets the atmosphere of this album and represents everything that it is about."
Carnal Tomb from Germany's chaotic and vibrant capital city Berlin have reached that point in their career, which is traditionally associated with 'making or breaking it': the famous third album. Entitled "Embalmed in Decay," this beautifully putrid and rotten manifest of morbidity perfectly channels the spirit of old school death metal.
The Germans have honed their songwriting to razor-edged sharpness with slightly shorter tracks compared to their previous releases, fast forward blast beats, and they have also kept some of their characteristic doom-driven passages. It all adds up to a contemporary version of classic death metal with enormous firepower that will cement their status as one of the hottest young acts of this most brutal genre.
Guest performances on "Embalmed in Decay" by Serkan Niron from Turkey's death metal sickos Engulfed on the track "Draped in Disgust" and some additional intros from former Morbid Panzer as well as Putrescine, and Speedwhore guitarist Leonhard Link put the deliciously toxic icing on Carnal Tomb's gut and gore cake.
