Биография

If time is a flat circle, then 2 things are true: 1) Deathcore's return was inevitable. 2) Andrew Baena, Johnny Ciardullo, Cooper Lagace and Travis Regnier were destined to form another band. The quartet killed off predecessor Galactic Pegasus' djenty metalcore as their writing trended deadlier. So intense was Carcosa's devotion to death that the body was still warm when they started. Their June 2020 unveiling and release of the 'Absent' EP 2 months later took them from disregard of to mastery over death. Carcosa stare into the abyss—knowing everything happens in cycles but with the nihilistic knowledge everything ends. Their name, as well as the black, yellow and spiral-laden imagery, were inspired by 'True Detective.' One could argue their lyrics and sound came from the hopeless mind of Rust Cohle. The music borders on apocalyptic but accepts the bleak end as the twin of the hopeful beginning. It’s the kind of doom-and-gloom through which The Acacia Strain and Chelsea Grin channeled their brutality, tempered with the futuristic noises of contemporaries like Brand of Sacrifice. The lyrics on debut LP 'Anthology' don’t follow the tragic journey of their debut, but the collection renews its endless loop construction. The new release drops on the year anniversary of its predecessor (8/19) and the final track seamlessly segues to the opening of both. Though done intentionally for 'Absent,' on 'Anthology' it happened without conscious thought; time is a flat circle, indeed.
