Carnifex Bring Unadulterated Rage With “Slow Death” Video (Exclusive)
I’m not usually a fan of pure performance music videos. I’d much rather watch a video that tells a story with the music amplifying and explaining the imagery. However, there are times when you simply need to see people letting themselves go entirely and lose their minds to remind yourself the power and impact that music can have.
That’s why we’re excited to bring you the premiere of San Diego deathcore band Carnifex‘s brand new music video for “Slow Death”, the title track from their upcoming sixth studio album. The video shows the band performing in a warehouse while throngs of their fans headbang, jump, and full on rage alongside the performance.
Vocalist Scott Lewis tells Bloody-Disgusting, “Live performances are the flesh and blood of Carnifex. We live in die on the stage. For this video, we wanted to capture the energy of our fans and the band like never before. Plus, a cool abandoned warehouse party never hurts.”
You can see the video below and you can then pre-order Slow Death, which comes out August 5th via Nuclear Blast Records, right here.

‘The Haunting of Pennhurst’ Exclusive Clip Trains Scare Actors For Historic Haunt in Tribeca Doc
The past and present collide in haunting, poignant ways in the genre documentary The Haunting of Pennhurst, which sees a Halloween haunt serve as a reclamation of true historic horrors.
Ahead of its world premiere at the 25th Tribeca Film Festival, we have an exclusive clip that sees scare actors in training for the Halloween season. The catch? This haunt is opening at the historic Pennhurst State School & Hospital site, a facility that caused immense harm to its disabled patients over decades of its operation.
In the documentary, “For over seventy years, Pennhurst State School & Hospital was called a place of care. What happened inside killed over half its population. It closed in 1987, leaving behind unmarked graves and an unresolved history. Today, on those same grounds, disabled performers – many living with the same conditions that once sent people to Pennhurst – put on their makeup, pull on their costumes, and prepare to scare people for a living.
“Through grit, compassion, and buckets of blood, the eclectic performers of the Pennhurst Asylum haunted attraction are wrestling with a space that is at once a lucrative business and a gravesite.”
The upcoming documentary hails from directing trio Nathan Stenberg, Mike Attie, and Katarina Poljak, who explore their socially-relevant subject through archival footage, first-hand accounts, and an immersive verité.
“Pennhurst has haunted us since we first passed through its dragon-tooth gates; the horrors of the institution echo through the site today. We are so grateful to bring this film to the Tribeca Festival, particularly the Escape from Tribeca section, which feels right for a story where past and present bleed together. We hope audiences leave unnerved and asking the same uncomfortable questions we did,” Attie, Stenberg, and Poljak said in a statement.
Watch the clip below that sees disabled and neurodivergent scare actors learning the ropes of a Halloween haunt, reclaiming the site’s grim history in the process.
