They're type of band that this could be a prank, but it seems legit. Going to be hard to replace him
Whoa just discovered this by accident, super sick. Looks like it's part of an EP coming out on October 18, when I'll be distracted by new Carnosus

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: 1. Birthless 2. Within Throat, Within Heart 3. Neglectikon 4. Yearnings of A Rotten Spine 5. Worm Charmer 6. Harbinger of Woundism 7. Paradoxical Impulse 8. Wound of Wisdom 9. Cosmoclaustrum 10. 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.

cross-posted from: https://infosec.pub/post/15522858 > > Technical Death Metal is one of metal's most beloved and popular genres. But where exactly did it start from? Today, in this Metal Documentary series we analyze the history of bands like Cynic, Atheist, Death, and Pestilence to determine the true origins of one of metal's most famous and well-known genres. > > > > Technical death metal (also referred to as tech-death) is a musical subgenre of death metal that began and developed in the early- to mid-1990s, with a particular focus on challenging, demanding instrumental skill and complex songwriting. > > > > Technical experimentation in death metal began in the late 1980s and early 1990s by four bands that are often grouped together as "technical death metal's Big Four" – Death, Pestilence, Atheist, and Cynic – as well as Nocturnus; all but Pestilence being part of the Florida death metal scene. > > > > Some of the distinct features of this genre include dynamic song structures, complex and atypical rhythmic structures, abundant use of diminished chords and arpeggios, frequent employment of odd-time chord progressions, and constant use of string skipping on the guitars. Basslines are usually complex, and the drums are extremely fast-paced with abundant use of blast beats and other extreme drumming techniques. The technical death metal genre has also been influenced by mostly jazz fusion, as well as thrash metal and progressive/technical-inspired heavy metal bands like Death, Megadeth, Slayer, Voivod, Kreator, Dark Angel, Coroner, Sadus, and Watchtower, the latter of whose second album Control and Resistance (1989) is often considered to be one of the sources of inspiration for the genre. >
