Technical melodic death metal outfit Carrion Vael have released their fifth full-length, Slay Utterly, via Unique Leader Records. For a preview of the record, the new video for the album track “Truth Or Consequences” can be seen here:
Carrion Vael comments: “Certain horrors can resonate for years after the fact, leaving a psychological footprint that transcends time, echoing in the minds of each new generation. David Parker Ray’s toy box defines this sort of horror, and when writing ‘Truth or Consequences’, we hoped to merge these unimaginable horrors, with a form of musical brutality that resonates the concept. Leaving the listener with a chilling reminder of what can lurk in the depths of human depravity.”

Formed in 2008, Richmond, Indiana’s Carrion Vael return with their most ambitious and punishing release to date: Slay Utterly was recorded and mixed by Jack Daniels and Elisha Mullins at The Armory Studios, then mastered by Jeff Dunne (Alluvial, Veil of Maya, Chelsea Grin, etc) — the resulting 8 tracks are a relentless display of precision, violence, and razor-edged melodic craft. A sharpened step forward from one of the USA’s fastest-rising extreme metal acts, Carrion Vael’s new record solidifies their place among the technical melodic death metal elite.
Carrion Vael comments: “‘Slay Utterly’ is our 3rd release on Unique Leader Records, and it’s our best work to date. The stories told within these songs mimic the chaos that is each individual song. It’s brutal, it’s fast, and its moments of reprieve are relatively short lived, before the barbarism starts all over again.”
