Heavy//Hitter Joins Carnifex Fall Tour Including Cryptopsy, Mental Cruelty, and Organectomy
Orlando, Florida-based deathcore band Heavy//Hitter is joining Carnifex, Cryptopsy, Mental Cruelty, and Organectomy on the Necromanteum Part II fall tour after the critical success of their single “Wall of Wax,” featuring Taylor Barber of Left to Suffer, released in 2023. Since the debut of the music video for “Wall of Wax,” Heavy//Hitter’s fanbase has grown significantly worldwide.
Impression
Heavy//Hitter vocalist Austin Hayes delivers powerful guttural growls on the track, perfectly complemented by Taylor Barber’s familiar depth and precision. One fan commented on YouTube, “I can see why someone chucked a couch into the pit at that one show.” Others praised the production and mixing quality of the track, while some connected with the confrontational message of the lyrics, having felt pushed over the edge. The instrumentation of “Wall of Wax” features dense riffs, heavy bass, and dynamic drumming tempo changes leading to shifts and breakdowns.
Discography
