Ever stumble upon a hidden gem that just demands resurrection? Well, hold onto your eardrums: Carcariass’s 2016 side project, A Cold Black Day, is about to get a savage remaster! Originally cooked up by Pascal (guitar wizard) and Bebert (drum beast) alongside pals Fred and Romu, this album was pure, unfiltered death metal, raw as a fresh wound and twice as vicious. But dang, it kinda faded into the shadows, didn't it? Fast forward to 2025, and the band’s like, "Nah, let’s drag this beast back into the light!"
Set to drop on July 11th via the cult label Adipocere Records, this reissue isn’t just a polish, it’s a full-blown rebirth. Mixed and remastered by Drop (Samael’s guitar legend) at Switzerland’s Downtone Studio, the venom’s been cranked up to eleven. Picture that signature Carcariass groove, but darker, meaner, like a shark in midnight waters.
And hey, the jaw-dropping new cover? Courtesy of Headsplit Design, the mad geniuses behind art for Napalm Death and Kreator. The CD digipak? Loaded with a slick booklet and all the lyrics. Total runtime? A blistering 38 minutes of pure catharsis.
Man, I’ve been lucky enough to get an early listen and it’s like unearthing a buried relic, only to find it’s sharper than ever. That gritty 2016 energy? Amplified. Those riffs? Still slice like razors.
For 25+ years, Carcariass has ruled the French metal scene, and this reissue? It’s a bloody love letter to death metal’s raw soul. Don’t sleep on it: your playlist needs this adrenaline shot. Mark your calendars, and when July 11 hits? Snag it, crank it, and let it devour you!
