Welcome to part 1 of "Carnifex Week" on the Heavy Metal History Podcast. As most of the listeners may know, I spent 5 years touring with Carnifex during their career and now in 2019 the band is about to release their 7th studio album "World War X"

I wanted to be able to capture as much of the information from as many perspectives of the band members about how this album was recorded, so over the course of this week you will hear from multiple members of their direct input of how the record was made.

In this episode I talk to Fred Calderon, Bass Player of Carnifex about his part in recording "World War X" as well as many other stories of touring, parts of recording "The Diseased and the Poisoned" and his bass talents all within this episode! Its a great way to kick off these episodes and I know you guys wont be let down.

"World War X" comes out on Nuclear Blast on August 2nd.
