Call them deathcore and you might just get a guitar headstock to the jaw. But even if you were to call them something ridiculous like emo or hair metal (neither of which remotely apply), Carnifex would still rip just as hard. The music on their second album, The Diseased and the Poisoned, is like a revving chainsaw to the sternum -- a messy, blast of pain that triggers a blinding explosion in the brain. And their video for "Answers is Mourning" just might give you an aneurysm (MTV, nor the band are accountable for any injury sustained during listening to the song or viewing the video). So, if you're up for the challenge, click "more" to listen to what Scott Lewis has to say about the clip, then check out the video.
We shot this video for “Answers in Mourning” in the early part of July in Virginia with director Scott Hansen. It was nearly 100 degrees there by 9 a.m. The location was pretty interesting, to say the least. We were literally out in the sticks and right next to an old graveyard. Our shoot site was an old, abandoned schoolhouse that had become the home for all the area's wasps and bats. That’s pretty metal, right?
All throughout the shoot, wasps were buzzing around and, every once in a while, a bat would fly by. Other than that, everything went incredibly well. Despite the heat and the fact that we had to carry all our gear to the third floor of the house… it was a great shoot and an extremely fun day. The entire crew, particularly the little actor dude was awesome.
