The Carnifex Cycle is an industrial concept album by Hymlock Groves, produced, written, and arranged by Faunce Creamer under Fear Of The Dark Press.
This work is a cohesive narrative in sound and texture — a meditation on the collision between human consciousness and artificial design. Across ten movements, it chronicles the birth, corruption, and defiance of digital faith through distorted rhythms, synthetic atmospheres, and fractured melodies.
The album fuses elements of darkwave, electro-industrial, and experimental electronica into a dense sonic architecture that reflects both machine precision and emotional decay. Its conceptual foundation draws from themes of transhumanism, loss of identity, and the reclamation of humanity through noise and code.
Tracks:
Fractured Feed, The Philosopher’s Void, Skin Wire, Overlord, Carnifex (The Harvest), Null Prophet (False Salvation), Ash Code (Aftermath), Resonance Collapse (The Schism), Ghost Protocol (Digital Remains), Halt and Catch Fire! (Human Signal).
Produced and recorded under Fear Of The Dark Press, The Carnifex Cycle stands as the inaugural full-length release by Hymlock Groves, exploring the boundaries between technology and soul in a world rewritten by its own creations.
