Carrion

Carrion is a Belgian death metal outfit, though their identity is frequently conflated with several other international acts of the same name. Formed in 2007, the band has evolved from a thrash-influenced foundation into a more formidable death-grind and groove metal entity.

Their sound identity is built on high-gain precision, utilizing standard death metal tropes like guttural vocals and blast beats but tempering them with a rhythmic sensibility found in the Polish metal scene (explaining the listener overlap with bands like Hunter or Coma). Over a career spanning nearly two decades, they have transitioned from the raw energy of their 2008 demo to the sophisticated, high-fidelity brutality of 2023's 'Morbid Nailgun Necropsy'. Critically, they are regarded as a reliable pillar of the European underground, praised for their consistency and the sheer physical impact of their live performances. Their influence web connects the speed of 80s speed metal with the mechanical intensity of 21st-century extreme metal.
