Metal Debut

Carniwhore crawled out of your nightmares to deliver their infernal alt-metal debut, Tyrannosaur

Posted on 24 June 2024

If you have noticed something sinister in the atmosphere lately, that may be due to Carniwhore, who crawled out of your deepest darkest nightmare to deliver their sense unsettling debut single, Tyrannosaur. Fans of Tallah, Hungry Lights, and Darko US, will instantly be drawn in by the Stoke on Trent-based powerhouse’s carnivalesque approach to tearing through the alt-metal scene with maximum volition.

Blazing through the footsteps of Marilyn Manson by using chugging riffs and eccentrically emulating his baleful charisma while bringing the brutalism of heavy metal and mainlining devil-may-care derangement ensured your ears have never been defiled in this way before.

After being recorded, produced, and mixed by Chris Dulson at Venombase Studios and Mastered by the industry heavyweight, Jens Bogren (Sepultura, Dragon Force Baby Metal, Dir En Grey) Tyrannosaur hit the airwaves on June 21.

Whatever Carniwhore has in the pipeline for their sophomore release, we have no doubt that it will be a fiendishly unholy triumph.

Stream the single on Spotify and keep up to date with the infernal outfit via Facebook.

Nu World Order exposed the secrets of ‘Area 51’ in the surrealism of their Alt-Metal debut

Posted on 13 November 2023

Who ordered an installation of thrash metal insanity? One has just arrived in the form of the debut single, Area 51, from the Brighton-based prodigal sons, Nu World Order, which forged in response to the surrealism of the modern age, where extra-terrestrial signs of life are in essence the new Schrodinger’s cat. Are they real or fake? We won’t know until we look inside Area 51, but it seems Nu World Order has the inside scoop.

With groove metal breakdowns following insurgencies of thrash and heavy metal in the progressive track, which also exhibits the dynamism in the vocals as they switch from soaring hair metal high notes to guttural laments, Nu World Order knew just how to keep listeners hooked into their orchestration of rhythmically tight subversion.

If riffs got bands to the top of the charts, Nu World Order would be overlooking everyone from a seat of supremacy; the outfit isn’t lacking in the lyrical ingenuity department either. We can’t wait to hear what is lingering in the pipeline.

Area 51 was released on November 3rd; stream it on Spotify or purchase the track by heading over to iTunes.
