Magnum Carnage


Magnum Carnage is an American black metal band from Honolulu, Hawaii. Originally formed in 1996, the band has gone through many lineup changes all of which were led and assembled by band leader Kai Laigo.

Recorded material

The band has self-released four full-length CDs and one EP to date, which have received radio airplay and reviews locally, nationally and around the world. Response is widely varied, as shown by the band’s 2006 LP "Evil Never Dies". It appeared on KTUH FM’s "Loud Music" chart as a requested album, as well as winning Harder Beat magazine’s "Worst CD of 2006" award. They have also appeared on internationally distributed compilations such as Knuckle Tracks No. 99, and Hawaiian Express Records METAL: Made in Hawaii. For one week in 1998, the song "Deathscythe" had enough downloads to place No. 3 on MP3.com's world-wide black metal chart.

Discography

Magnum Carnage has played over 60 live shows, mostly by invitation. Working with promotions such as Sick Nick Productions and Underworld Events, and regularly playing clubs such as Pink Cadillac, Anna Banana's, The Ninja House, King’s Crab and The Wave, they have covered most of Honolulu’s metal and rock scene.
