Rome-based thrash metal veterans ENEMYNSIDE return with their second strike, “Carnal Betrayal,” a fierce and dark journey through pain, rage, and rebirth. The song explores the torment of betrayal and the primal instinct to rise again from the ashes. Driven by intense riffs, visceral vocals, and haunting melodies, it portrays the struggle of a trapped soul breaking free from its cage — transforming pain into power and vengeance into liberation.

“Carnal Betrayal” follows the band’s recent announcement of the new EP “In The Shadows Of Unrest”, set for release on November 14, 2025. The record was created between two renowned Roman studios: drums and bass were captured at Kick Recording Studio, while guitars and vocals were tracked at Temple Of Gravity Studios. Frontman Fran Cremisini recorded guitars and vocal takes at Temple Of Gravity before returning to Kick Recording Studio, where Marco “Cinghio” Mastrobuono delivered the final mix and mastering, forging a razor-sharp, modern sound. Artwork by Diyaco Paymazd mirrors the intensity and unrest coursing through the music.
