Tacit in the knowledge Death remains the same The unreflecting mirror Two snakes in one cage When I drink, I drink straight from god And I drink, I straight from the cobra

The end hasn't change We're never coming clean In june, we are killing The undying beast Poke the lion's glove away The flightless bird It's mouth is a cancer Nothing that we'll ever be Without the cloak Behold once truths I've seen with my eyes What's real is not

I've got my vices The crowded heart defines I slam those classics whole And wake up aged I've got my vices My only start I wet my whistle good Thread through the days I've got my vices Saw past the end I tie my lungs up good I die when I want Where have you gone Just a shell of what you were And at the bottom lies An ocean of lies and I can't help that you're running away Settle down Push towards the sun

"...one surprising riff after another. These guys call to mind KEN mode circa-Entrench with a caustic, funny, and consistently riff-focused approach to post-hardcore" - Brooklyn Vegan

"Riffs jangle and tempos pulsate, while the math-y rock jams and lumbering starts and stops will leave your brain feeling all kinds of mashed up. Coliseum, KENmode and Wild Throne all released some killer material this year but nothing knocked me out in the punk-n-roll department quite like Matador." - Metal Injection

"Make no mistake, Matador is much more than a mere throw back to harmony-adorned Post-Hardcore albums from days of yore—it is a weighty, layered, and aspiring album with fascinating and inspired composition." - OSPREY Music Magazine

"Insanely well-made post-metal madness." - American Aftermath

"The attack is sharp, sustaining a sound more raw than the precision of Pelican. Carved Up execute a record of grand scale with smaller weapons." - New Noise Magazine

about

Carved Up Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Abrasive and lush. Caustic and commanding. A ball of physical, aggressive, post-whatever energy that remains just a little bit charming. We are 3 pieces of work churning out heavy music the only way we know how.
