Carcosa return with emotional new single and video “1983”

Canadian melodic deathcore band Carcosa, featuring members of Angelmaker, have returned with “1983”, their first new single in over ten months. Mixed and mastered by Buster Odeholm (Vildhjarta, Humanity’s Last Breath), the track arrives with a striking music video and marks a bold new chapter for the band.

Released on the five-year anniversary of their debut “A Plague”, the single nods once again to the first season of True Detective and its themes of time and repetition. While the release date’s symbolism was unintentional, the band embraced the coincidence, tying it into their larger creative vision.

Vocalist Johnny Ciardullo revealed that “1983” is a deeply personal track inspired by his first car—a 1983 Chevy Monte Carlo he drove through his formative years. After his mother, a breast cancer survivor, convinced him to part with it, he donated the car to a scrapyard that supported the Breast Cancer Society of Canada. The song reflects this journey and sets the tone for future releases filled with real-life memories and meaning.

Carcosa will hit the road this fall with Signs of the Swarm, Mental Cruelty, ten56., and Face Yourself. The tour kicks off October 2nd in Montreal and wraps November 2nd in Worcester.
