Carnifex Drop “Licking Love From A Knife” – New Single and Video Out Now

Southern California deathcore titans CARNIFEX have released their new single, “Licking Love From A Knife”. The track is the latest to be taken from the band’s forthcoming album, More Than Misery, arriving November 6th via Sumerian Records. Listen HERE and watch the official music video HERE.

“Licking Love From A Knife” places one of the album’s most personal subjects at its center: surviving a toxic relationship. Across More Than Misery, vocalist Scott Ian Lewis writes from the perspective of someone who has come through the pain that has always shaped his lyrics. The new single brings that changed perspective into the fallout of a damaging relationship, speaking directly to those who know what it means to make it out. He shares

“Licking Love From A Knife is my favorite song on More Than Misery and a song that I hope speaks deeply to our fans that have survived toxic relationships.”

More Than Misery is built around survival. The title carries a deliberate double meaning, expressing the idea that a person’s life can be larger than the misery it contains. Earlier CARNIFEX records captured Scott Ian Lewis attempting to endure and process pain while he was still living inside it. On the new album, he looks back from the other side, carrying those experiences without allowing them to define the whole of his life.

Musically, CARNIFEX approached the record with their original 2005 instincts and the tools of 2026. Guitars take the lead, orchestration deepens their impact and every song was built with its live translation in mind. The album brings together the physical directness of first-wave deathcore, the band’s death-metal and black-metal foundations, the symphonic atmosphere of their later work and the stronger lead-guitar identity of the current lineup.

With no fixed delivery date dictating the sessions, CARNIFEX had more time to write, dismantle and rebuild the material than on any previous album. The record was tracked in Tennessee across approximately five to six weeks with Zach Householder of Whitechapel and mixed by Jeff Dunne.

More Than Misery is CARNIFEX’s first full-length album for Sumerian Records and follows the previously released singles “Roses & Rotting Corpses” and album title track, “More Than Misery“.

More Than Misery will be released on November 6th via Sumerian Records. Pre-order HERE.
