Bio:

Formed in 1997 by Jari Kuusisto & Stefan Westerberg, CARNAL FORGE released its debut, ”Who’s Gonna Burn” (War Music), in 1998. After signing with Century Media in early 2000, the band released ”Firedemon” later in the year. Petri Kuusisto joined and the band would tour Europe supporting The Haunted and Nile and make the first of several prestigious festival appearances. In 2001 Lars Lindén joined just to the recordings of ”Please… die!” (Lindén making his debut with the band at the year’s 2000 Decibel festival and Wacken Open Air). ”The More You Suffer” (2003) and ”Aren’t You Dead Yet” (2004) would continue to see the band expand fan and worldwide sales base as well as touring in Europe, USA & Japan, playing a number of festivals (Sweden Rock Festival (SE), Metal Meltdown (USA), Fury Fest (FR), Pressure Fest (DE), Kaltenbach Open Air (A), Summer Breeze (DE), Fuck the Commerce (DE) Metal Fest URI (CH) etc. and releasing the live DVD ”Destroy Live” (2004). Vocalist Jens C. Mortensen would join the band’s ranks in late 2004, impressing fans with his strong live performances. In early 2005, the band began work on new material and the first pre-prod recordings with Jens were made late 2005. In 2006 demos of all songs were made and in Oct the real recordings started. Expect an extensive world tour after the album release spring 2007.
