Limited Edition on Vinyl of THE BLACK VEILS' album, originally relesased in December 2021 on Icy Cold!
The Black Veils write angry and miserable post-punk songs and “Carnage” is their 3rd studio Album, following up on the highly regarded, 3 digital EPs, released through Icy Cold “Hyenas” (2020), “Lamoulamort” and “Rabbits” (both 2021).
It’s a rough and direct post-punk record, recorded and mixed without seeking perfection, in order to re-create the band’s “live” attitude in studio. A violent bass sound, sharp guitars, dynamic vocals and relentless drums: this time the band wanted to create a “choral” album with a far more spontaneous and aggressive sound.
Carnage takes inspiration from The Black Veils’ typical imaginary: (a lot of) cinema, a bit of existentialism, the effects of insomnia and a huge dose of black humor. This might also mark the band’s first record that openly reflects on the current social transformations. Carnage is a concept about the roles of the victim and the oppressor: positions which are always interchangeable in all kind of relationships.
