CARNAGE The Executioner

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.

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
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.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
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.

The two trade verses for the duration of the 4:03 lyrical slugfest, with newcomer Carnage more than holding his own." *30Music.com: http://www.30music.com/rev.php?rev=34&action=searchRev&term *ThePulseTC.com: http://www.pulsetc.com/article.php?sid=896 *StCloudMN.com: http://www.stcloudmn.com/entertainment/music/_cent205.php *CityPages.com: http://www.citypages.com/databank/24/1202/article11753.asp
