Carnifex

Carnifex is a Deathcore band formed in 2005 in San Diego, California with a starting lineup of Scott Lewis, Cory Arford, and Shawn Cameron, as well as former members Steve McMahon (bass) and Travis (guitar). After releasing two demos they were signed to underground label This City Is Burning Records and released their debut album Dead in My Arms on July 12, 2007. The reasonable success of this album, and the prevalence of the deathcore genre as a whole, attracted the attention of Victory Records.

Carnifex signed to Victory Records in 2008 and released The Diseased and The Poisoned in June 2008, which reached #19 on the Billboard Top Heatseekers Chart.

Carnifex will be touring with Bleeding Through, Miss May I, and Motionless in White for the 10 Year Anniversary West Coast Tour, celebrating the 10 year anniversary of Bleeding Through.

Recently, the band posted a blog on their Myspace which said that they were going to record a new album. The album will be recorded in November 2009, and released in March 2010.
