Dying Wish have shared Revenge in Carnage, the second new song to be released from their forthcoming album Flesh Stays Together – set for release September 26 via SharpTone Records [album artwork / tracklist below]. The new track is available on all streaming platforms and is accompanied by an official music video co-directed by Imani Givertz and the band’s own Pedro Carrillo. Revenge In Carnage follows the album’s lead single I’ll Know You’re Not Around, which arrived last month joined by a music video co-directed by Carrillo and Eric Richter.
Elaborating on Revenge In Carnage, vocalist Emma Boster shared “Revenge in Carnage is an anthemic moment of man-made apocalyptic violence. Imagine when you hear the isolated vocal starting the song that you have entered your final moment. Our final moments on this earth will not be peaceful. There’s no time for reflection, only survival”
Carrillo added, “The video represents the disillusion of self. The acceptance of violence and how we see ourselves in other people. We try to silence those thoughts with our own righteous beliefs only to be a different version of the same knife. We continue to fail to protect one another. We continue to point the finger. We continue to pretend that evil isn’t formed within our soul. If there is hope, it won’t be found in this lifetime.”
Recorded with producer Will Putney (Knocked Loose, Nothing, Full of Hell), Flesh Stays Together follows Dying Wish’s 2023 studio album, Symptoms of Survival, a crushing body of work which saw the band masterfully devour an array of extreme sounds and shape them into one of the year’s most uncompromising and celebrated heavy releases. On Flesh Stays Together, Dying Wish return with an unrelenting collection that sees them continuing to push at their limits as they paint a vivid portrait of human suffering and raise calls for resistance.
Formed in Portland, Oregon in 2018, Dying Wish is fronted by vocalist Emma Boster, alongside guitarists Sam Reynolds and Pedro Carrillo, bassist Jon Mackey and drummer Jeff Yambra. Drawing on the visceral energy of metallic hardcore while injecting a sharp, contemporary urgency, Dying Wish creates songs that are as politically aware as they are sonically punishing. Their debut full-length, Fragments of a Bitter Memory (2021), announced them as a vital voice in the genre – a ceaseless exploration of personal trauma, social unrest, and inner transformation. In 2023, they returned with Symptoms of Survival, a darker, heavier, and more nuanced evolution of their sound, praised for its brutal conviction and dynamic ferocity. Through nonstop touring, explosive live performances, and a clear sense of purpose, Dying Wish have established themselves as one of the most essential and uncompromising acts in modern heavy music.
