CARNAGE
1990 - Dark Recollections.
more CARNAGE.
way more Helter Skelter.

November 26, 1990 - 2025: 35 years of: Dark Recollections.

The seed for a new regime.

It's 1990, deathmetal was on the map and Sweden was the focal point. A raw tone chews death and spits it out ...a total CARNAGE.

A carneous cacoffiny, from the hard rockin' "Dark Recollections" to the massacra of "Torn Apart". A violent ecstasy bursts on "Infestation Of Evil", while the hemophiliac "Deranged From Blood" lays the foundation for this new sub-genre of extreme.

Already defunct by 1990, CARNAGE's impact on the scene is imminent. From the production to the frontal attack, even with a short life-span, the engraved tombstones are proofs of their immortal signature on the Scandinavian scene.

Out of the ashes of CARNAGE, elements of the dissolved unit would spring back into the following cult:
- Matti, David and Fred would merge into the massive killing capacity of DISMEMBER.
- led-virtuoso Michael would rot with England's CARCASS.
- Johnny would become, for a very short-time, singer for ENTOMBED.
- and ex-singer Johan would later bounce back into action, with the first incarnation of ARCH ENEMY.

The seed is sown, hail Swedish Death-Metal ...a true carnage.
