Carnifex is a Latin word meaning “executioner”. Carnifex formed in 2005 in San Diego, California, United States 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. On February 16, 2010, Carnifex released their third studio album, Hell Chose Me. On October 24, 2011, their fourth album, Until I Feel Nothing was released on Victory Records, and was produced by As I Lay Dying vocalist, Tim Lambesis. On October 9, 2012, the band’s vocalist, Scott Ian Lewis, announced via Carnifex’ Facebook page that the band is going on indefinite hiatus.


2) The Finnish death metal band Carnifex was formed in 1990. They released a split album with Festerday, and a demo entitled “Decadence”, both in 1991. After that, the band broke and nothing has been heard of them since.

    I wouldn't be so quick to judge. It was actually bands like this that served as a gateway for me getting into oldschool 90's death metal. Scott Lewis is actually a big fan of the old school himself. You would see him rocking "Vader" and "Unleashed" shirts at shows quite frequently.
