A destructive vortex of extreme metal returns to Toledo, OH this coming June 8th, with TOLEDO DEATH FEST announcing its 2024 lineup featuring OCEANO, THE CONVALESCENCE, VISCERAL DISGORGE, ROSE FUNERAL, CASKET ROBBERY, and more!
Making their grand return from a 7 year hiatus, Carbonstone are back with a brand new album ‘DarkMatter‘ (released in October 2021) and a follow up single ‘Scream‘ (released in March 2022).
Hailing from Baltimore, Maryland, Carbonstone are all about the alternative metal/industrial sound and draw their inspiration from the likes of Korn, Linkin Park, Static-X and NIN which is evident in their music. Walking the line between modern Electronica elements and melodic nu-metal influences, Carbonstone have crafted their own, unique sound whilst staying true to their inspirations.
Corey states on their sound evolution: “Obviously if you listen to ‘What You’ve Become’ and listen to the new album ‘Dark Matter,’ it’s a huge sound change. I’ve always wanted to go down the industrial route. I’m a huge NIN fan and Stabbing Westward, I love Stabbing Westward. So I’ve always wanted to do that and I guess back 8 years ago, we didn’t have the capability to do that.”
