Carnalation

Carnalation is a Finnish death metal crew that’s been dishing out brutal riffs and guttural grooves since forming in 2008. Hailing from Jyväskylä, the band—fronted by vocalist Ville Hukkanen—mixes old-school death metal ferocity with modern melodic twists, landing them on bills with acts like Entombed and at festivals like Steelfest. Their 2020 album *Deathmask* (featuring the gnarly tracks "Ghosts" and "Dance of Disorder") showcases their knack for blending eerie atmospherics with bone-crunching intensity. While they keep a relatively low profile, Carnalation’s dedication to Finnish death metal’s raw ethos and their tight, riff-driven sound has earned them a loyal following in the underground scene.
