Music video created by Luiz Arruda / Audiopower
Terrified
Numb from endless dread
Truth left cold and dead
Terror sells, they cheer
Profit built on fear
Terrified
Crushed by scripted hate
Forced to suffocate
Freedom now a cage
Rage feeds into rage
Power drains the weak
Leaves no voice to speak
Bound to pain, confined
Terror leads the blind
Panic fills the poisoned air
Truth erased without a care
Terrified, and yet no shame
Trapped inside their endless game
Numb from endless dread
Truth left cold and dead
Terror sells, they cheer
Profit built on fear
Terrified

Music Video by Drain Hope
Additional Videography by Mike Hrubovcak
’Feast of Leeches’ is a frantic release of anger and madness. For far too long have we suffered the pressure of outside vultures feeding off our personal energies. Its fitting that this video was created by ‘Drain Hope’, because it visually expresses the frustration of being surrounded by leeches and parasites that are sucking on our lifeblood, while leaving us ultimately drained and lethargic. Its like suffocating under dirt but still crawling through the mud in hopes of getting out. We are all waiting to breathe, but always holding our breath, and continually striving to be, while awaiting our death, says band mastermind Mike Hrubovcak.
FEAST OF LEECHES
Multidimensional pressure all around
Concealed demons, in human form surround
Waiting to breathe, but always holding my breath
Striving to be, while awaiting my death!
Circular pangs spiral around
Excruciating murmurs abound
Heartbeat arrhythmias tease and taunt
Disturbing dreams, they terrorize and haunt me!
Multidimensional pressure all around
Concealed demons, in human form surround
Waiting to breathe, but always holding our breath
Striving to be, while awaiting our death!

Visualization by Christian Kdrumworm (k-drumworm-media)
CARNAL TOMB from Germanys chaotic and vibrant capital city Berlin have reached that point in their career, which is traditionally associated with making or breaking it: the famous third album. Entitled Embalmed in Decay, this beautifully putrid and rotten manifest of morbidity perfectly channels the spirit of old school death metal.
The Germans have honed their songwriting to razor edged sharpness with slightly shorter tracks compared to their previous releases, fast forward blast beats, and they have also kept some of their characteristic doom-driven doom passages. It all adds up to a contemporary version of classic death metal with enormous firepower that will cement their status as one of the hottest young acts of this most brutal genre.
Guest performances on Embalmed in Decay by Serkan Niron from Turkeys death metal sickos ENGULFED on the track Draped in Disgust and some additional intros from former MORBID PANZER as well as PUTRESCINE, and SPEEDWHORE guitarist Leonhard Link put the deliciously toxic icing on CARNAL TOMBs gut and gore cake.
The album title Draped in Disgust as well as the track The Putridarum are inspired by a chilling funeral practice particularly popular in Southern Italy from late medieval until early modern times: The corpses of the deceased were placed into so called putredariums where they were left to rot until nothing remained except the bones, which were brought to an ossuary as their final resting place. This procedure was symbolising a state of purgatory that the dead had to go through.
Other gruesome sources of inspiration for CARNAL TOMB were shaped in the original mould of death metal lyrics that include the works of H.P. Lovecraft as well as gore and zombie movies such as Amando de Ossorios 1972 genre classic Tombs of the Blind Dead, which directly influenced the song The Putridarum. Obviously, these themes have also inspired the morbid cover artwork of Embalmed in Decay by artist Skaðvaldur.
CARNAL TOMB were formed in Berlin in 2014 out of a hunger for old school death metal that possessed all band members. Besides a remarkable number of demo recordings, EPs, split and single releases, their two full-lengths Rotten Remains (2016) and Abhorrent Veneration (2019) quickly earned the band an excellent reputation in death metal circles around the globe.
Particularly, Abhorrent Veneration opened the stages of Europe to CARNAL TOMB – of which the early 2023 Decayed Manifestations tour with TERATOMA led them through Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Switzerland, and Germany. A tour supporting Embalmed in Decay is already in the planning stages.
With the putrid death metal horror of Embalmed in Decay, CARNAL TOMB raise the blind dead from their tombs and unleash these monsters and other brutal evils upon an unsuspecting world.

BENEATH THE CROSS
A light of hope shone bright
Onto your virgin soul
Paved the way for a life
Full of hope and joy
Nothing ever would have
Hurt and disturbed you
With the dealer of hope
Right beside you
You’ve lived your life for a lie
Trapped in a fake god’s hand
There is nothing after death
Embrace eternal darkness
You are trapped within your fate
Your mind is a slave of lies
There is no life after death
It all ends beneath the cross
Fill your inner void
Along with empty phrases
Looking for salvation
Submit your life to a lie
Kneel before the cross
And confess your sins
Priests will bless your soul
Deceive you into faith
You’ve lived your life for a lie
Trapped in a fake god’s hand
There is nothing after death
Embrace eternal darkness
You are trapped within your fate
Your mind is a slave of lies
There is no life after death
It all ends beneath the cross
Greedy holy bastards
Sell you empty lies
Offer you salvation
But only if you pay
You have to submit
To a life full of sacrifices
If you don’t comply
You will burn in hell
You won’t burn in hell
There’s no purgatory
Don’t flee into lies
Use your brain instead
Think for yourself
Take responsibility
Choose the right path
While you are alive
You’ve lived your life for a lie
Trapped in a fake god’s hand
There is nothing after death
Embrace eternal darkness
You are trapped within your fate
Your mind is a slave of lies
There is no life after death
It all ends beneath the cross
You are trapped within your fate
You have been betrayed
Your mind is a slave of lies
You won’t burn in hell
There is no life after death
You have been deceived
It all ends beneath the cross
You will rot and turn to dust
