Carnifex- Die Without Hope Review
Die Without Hope is the fourth studio release by the deathcore/death metal band Carnifex. This album concludes Carnifex’s hiatus which began from October of 2012; fans of Carnifex are nervous but excited to hear how the band sounds following their time off. Die Without Hope was released on March 4th, 2014, and is Carnifex’s first release through Nuclear Blast Records. With Die Without Hope, Carnifex has once again established themselves to be one of the best in the deathcore genre and showcases the full extent of their talents. The band definitely did not get rusty over their hiatus, but instead stepped up their game even more. While Die Without Hope is a progression from their prior albums, Carnifex still stays true to their roots.
