I am called Carnage The Executioner. If I were to describe my rhyme style in one sentence, it would read, "Immorally hand-woven catastrophe tapestry orally attached to beats". My first solo 'effort' (not an official album) is "The Carnology Vol. 0.5 EP". I run a LABEL called HECATOMB with a CREW of the same name. I've appeared on over 20 releases since 1996. I was featured on Eyedea's album, "The Many Faces Of Oliver Hart" in 2002. I was recently featured on Eyedea & Abilities' album, "E&A" (Rhymesayers / Epitaph). My first notible appearance was on Oddjobs' debut album, "Conflict & Compromise" in 2000. The SWEEPS and myself released "Bootleg Tracks From Junkion" EP in 2001 & the "Foreign Genetics" full-length in 2003...Come talk to me on AIM, eganraCarnage is my handle...
I am a member of a few different crews; The SWEEPS (w/DJ X-Caliber as Omega Supreme, Pagne as Abominus, Concentrate as Computron & myself as Superion), with SWEEPS standing for Sub-Terrestrial Wordsmiths Exhibiting Extraordinary Poetic Structure; NEMNOCH (w/DJ X-Caliber); Sense Of Sound (w/DJ Booka' B); Coaches (w/Eyedea & Abilities); & HECATOMB.

Why this name?
I was looking for a name that is memorable, hard, and explanatory of my 'Oldschool Futuristic' battle-rap representation. 'Carnage The Executioner' is the word and name that best fit me.
Do you play live?
I play live. I travel to various cities and states with some of Independent Hip Hop's most promising artists. I enjoy traveling. It helps people put a face and visual with the audio. I've shared stages with Atmosphere, Eyedea & Abilities, (Rhymesayers/Epitaph), Devin The Dude (Rap-A-Lot), DJ Revolution, Xzibit, Aceyalone (Project Blowed), Buck 65 (Warner Bros.), Sage Francis (Epitaph) Louis Logic (formally of The Demigodz), Blueprint & Illogic (Weightless), & Mac Lethal just to name a few.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It made music available to a wider range of people and gives us a chance to preview music before spending our hard-earned money and possibly wasting it.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yes, but only if the terms were in my favor.
Band History:
I've appeared on over 20 releases since 1996. I was featured on Eyedea's album, "The Many Faces Of Oliver Hart" in 2002. I was most recently featured on Eyedea & Abilities' album, "E&A" on Rhymesayers/Epitaph. My first notible appearance was on Oddjobs' debut album, "Conflict & Compromise" in 2000. Myself & The SWEEPS released, "Bootleg Tracks From Junkion" EP in 2001 & "Foreign Genetics" full-length in 2003, both of which are still in circulation.
Your influences?
Too many to name!
Favorite spot?
A tie between being in bed with a woman and in my car listening to my favorite Hip Hop releases.
Equipment used:
A microphone, a pen, paper, a PC, and my brain.
Anything else...?
