CARNATION Unleash Video for Atmospheric and Crushing New Single "Labyrinth of Silence"!

Belgian death metallers CARNATION have unveiled a gripping music video for their brand-new track "Labyrinth of Silence", the third single from the band’s upcoming studio album "Symphony In Flesh", which will be out worldwide on October 16.

With "Labyrinth of Silence", CARNATION reveal themselves at their most hypnotic and ambient. A haunting clean intro slowly descends into dark, atmospheric death metal, where immersive soundscapes and crushing riffs create a suffocating trance.

"'Labyrinth of Silence' stands out as a single because of its ability to completely pull the listener out of the moment and into its own world", CARNATION comment. "There’s a strong sense of atmosphere throughout the track, driven by dreamy lead guitars layered over mid-tempo, heavy riffing and groovy drums. It gives the song a sense of space and flow, allowing it to unfold naturally and take the listener on a journey far away from reality."

On a lyrical level, the song delves into the frustration of being unable to express yourself, feeling trapped within your own mind and fighting through inner darkness, as the band explains:

"Lyrically, the track is much more personal. The writing process itself was a cathartic experience, rooted in confronting inner struggles and their mental and physical repercussions."

With "Symphony In Flesh", CARNATION consciously reconnect with what made them stand out in the first place: tight songwriting, memorable riffs, and uncompromising intensity. At the same time, they elevate every aspect of their craft. The songwriting is more deliberate, the arrangements more dynamic, and the overall flow more cohesive than ever before.

"Going into this album, we wanted to reconnect with our roots. Not just musically, but in the way we present the band. At the same time, we pushed ourselves to write tighter, stronger songs and to bring everything - sound and visuals - to a higher level. This is the most complete version of CARNATION so far", the band states.
