Long Island’s progressive deathcore outfit Monochromatic Black has unleashed a valentine of violence with their latest single “Carnal,” and it’s anything but a conventional love song. This track is a masterclass in controlled chaos, where raw emotion collides with technical precision in the most visceral way possible.

From the moment vocalist Tanya Beickert’s first guttural scream tears through the mix, you know you’re in for something special. Her vocal performance is nothing short of extraordinary, seamlessly shifting between bone-crushing growls and haunting clean vocals that add layers of emotional depth to the already intense soundscape. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of passionate struggle, with lines like “I can feel your hands around my neck, the tears and sweat, heart beating out of my chest” delivered with such conviction that you can’t help but feel every word.

The instrumental work is equally impressive. Pierce Akers’ guitar work and Oliver Roach’s bass lines weave together in a dangerous dance of technical prowess and raw power, while Eddie DeCesare’s drumming serves as the thundering heartbeat that drives the song forward. The production quality is crystal clear, allowing each instrument to shine while maintaining the overwhelming heaviness that defines the band’s signature sound.
