Imagine what would happen if Frank Zappa, Faith No More and Mr Bungle played or had played extreme metal: black and death metal blended with disco grooves and the most sensual funk... Hidden in a secret place in Europe, walking against trends and fashions, two men share a single dream since 1995: mixing the absolute brutality of an "avant-garde" deathgrind with the hottest grooves of the black music from the 70's and 80's. These two visionary guys are Axel Wursthorn and Arno Strobl. The first one is a multi-skilled instrumentalist. He masters almost every musical instrument of the universe: guitar, bass-buitar, keyboards, and also harp, tuba and buzuki. The second one is an incredibly fickle singer. His scarce friends call him "the vocal swiss army-knife". They gather under the name of CARNIVAL IN COAL.
