Southern California deathcore titans Carnifex have officially signed to Sumerian Records, marking a new chapter for the band.

To celebrate, they've released a brand new single, "Roses And Rotting Corpses".

Watch the accompanying music video below.

For nearly two decades, Carnifex has occupied the darker edge of American deathcore, building a catalogue defined by punishing heaviness, blackened atmosphere and a visual world steeped in death, horror and the occult.

Emerging from Southern California in 2005, Carnifex was seminal in shaping the genre's first wave and has remained at its pinnacle since.

With "Roses And Rotting Corpses", Carnifex opens the door on its next era.

The track arrives with the weight and menace fans expect, but there is a renewed sense of intent behind it, a sharpened vision that pulls the band's apocalyptic heaviness further into darkness while setting the stage for what comes next.

Speaking on the signing and new single, Carnifex vocalist Scott Lewis shares: We've entered a new era of Carnifex, and I couldn't be happier to do it with Sumerian Records.

Carnifex and the team at Sumerian have parallel histories going back nearly two decades, so to finally be working together on what will arguably be our best album is an incredible feeling.

Our new song 'Roses & Rotting Corpses' is just the beginning of this next chapter.

For Carnifex, the move signals more than a label change.

It marks a fresh creative phase for a band that continues to honor deathcore's roots while expanding its atmosphere, extremity and emotional scope.

Carnifex is currently touring the U.S.

on the "Chaos & Carnage" tour with Bodysnatcher, 200 Stab Wounds, Ingested, Gates To Hell and Bodybox and will be playing Welcome To Rockville this weekend and Sonic Temple on May 14.
