CEPHALIC CARNAGE LIGHT “THE INCORRIGIBLE FLAME”

By the time you read this I will either have just-completed or be wrapping-up an interview with Cephalic Carnage vocalist Len Leal; more specifically, I will have just-completed or be wrapping-up an interview with Cephalic Carnage vocalist Lenzig Leal on the topic of weed, and its usage in creating awesome, awesome death grind (“hydrogrind,” as the band calls it). It should go without saying that I’m really, really stoked to discuss two of my favorite topics with a man who I know is pretty much a Jedi master in both metal and marijuana — at Summer Slaughter last weekend, Leal was wearing a shirt that read “Party Organically,” with the letter “i” dotted with a weed life. Nice.

And look! How appropriate! Cephalic Carnage have now debuted a new track on Metal Injection, entitled… wait for it… “The Incorrigible Flame!” Does this have anything to do with weed? Who knows, I can never really understand what Leal is saying without a lyric sheet. But the song is awesome, and I’m inclined to believe that weed had something to do with its creation.

“The Incorrigible Flame” comes off of Cephalic Carnage’s latest, Misled by Certainty, which will be released by Relapse on August 31. The visuals in the above video come from its cover art.
