Minneapolis based Hip-Hop Artist: Beat Boxer, Emcee, Producer.
Carnage The Executioner has earned his stripes over the last 10 years building an undeniable resumé with frequent performances in Europe and numerous US tours with Atmosphere and Eyedea & Abilities. Carnage The Executioner delivers an engaging live show that has enabled him to steal the hearts of countless rap fans and otherwise wherever he touches ground.
As an experienced beat boxer, he instructs others on how to use the body as an instrument. Referring to Carnage The Executioner’s beat boxing abilities, a writer from Minneapolis Star Tribune said, “his mouth might be the best drummer in town” in 2011.
Carnage The Executioner comes fully armed for live shows: two microphones, a pedal board housing a Boss RC-20 Loop Station, a Digitech Vocal Effects Processor, MXR Bass Octave & Boss DS-1 Distortion pedals. He can also be seen with a small case of percussion instruments – all utilized as enhancements to his boundless energy and a commanding stage presence. Carnage constructs complex multi-layered soundscapes from the ground up with breath-taking accuracy through beat boxing. He then proceeds to rap, harmonize and vocal-scratch over his backdrops with intensity and showmanship that is difficult to put into words...So it must be witnessed first-hand!
Carnage The Executioner made his first appearance on an album release in 1996 on Minnesota’s first full-length compilation, "The Collective", then going by the name T-Swift. Shortly after changing his name, Carnage began making waves on the local MN scene and nationally. Carnage, along with his former group, The SWEEPS released "Bootleg Tracks From Junkion EP in 2001". The greater Hip-Hop world heard Carnage on Eyedea's "The Many Faces Of Oliver Hart Or How I One The Write To Think" album (Rhymesayers Entertainment) on the track, "Coaches" in 2002. The SWEEPS went on to release the "Foreign Genetics" full-length album in 2003. Eyedea & DJ Abilities invited Carnage to join them on their opus, "E&A" where Carnage appeared the track, "Star Destroyer" in 2004.
Carnage The Executioner independently funded and oversaw the release of his first solo, unofficial album, "The Carnology Vol. 0.5 EP" on his own label, Hecatomb Industries in 2004. Carnage released his full-length solo debut album, "Sense Of Sound" independently on Hecatomb Industries in 2007.
In 2011, Carnage The Executioner released “Worth The Wait”, which was listed as one of ‘The Best Albums Of 2011’ in the Star Tribune. This article said that Carnage is “…busy proving why he should be called the most skillful emcee in MN”. Carnage released “Respect The Name” in 2012. His artistic growth is notable and only shows his progression into a potent storyteller. Carnage received great feedback for RTN and was the cover story feature for City Pages, which broke the album's concept down while relating it to his struggle-riddled upbringing.
Carnage The Executioner collaborates with Hip-Hop/spoken word artist Desdamona to form Ill Chemistry. Ill Chemistry released their highly-anticipated, self-titled debut album in January 2012 on French Jazz music label, Nato/Hopestreet Records. Ill Chemistry played the well-attended Sons d’hiver Music Festival as well as touring Europe multiple times to support their album.
Carnage The Executioner has shared stages with such heavyweights as Mobb Deep, KRS-ONE, The RZA, Method Man, Yelawolf, Guru of Gangstarr, Too $hort, Sage Francis, Aesop Rock, Brother Ali, R.A. The Ruggedman and many more.
