Weapons of Choice, Carbellion's third full-length album, pulls from nearly twenty years of experience and lessons learned by fire to deliver the group's most compelling release to date. The ten-song collection brings together the band's strongest and most cohesive material to date, though it's inception was rather unusual. "We started the record before COVID, " says Kellenberger. "The pandemic made us stop temporarily, but we found a way to work together digitally during that time. That allowed us to write the record, which we took to the studio as material was finished, so some songs were recorded two years before others, but it was a constant creation process. Formed in Southeastern Wisconsin in 2004 with the idea they were better together than apart, the men of Carbellion have been forging an original path in music since day one. The members - Brandon Bauer (guitar), Cameron Kellenberger (vocals), Brent Nimz (drums), Jamie Damrow (lead guitar), Steve Sheppard (bass guitar) - fuse elements of grunge and thrash with a traditional rock structure to deliver driving anthems of lives lived on the outer rim of society. Their sound follows in the tradition of forward-thinking groups like Clutch and Alice In Chains, but with hooks and melodies ready for radio. While sharing the stage with peers and heroes, the group has performed more than 400 times across 20 states and counting with supporting slots for mainstream artists such as Motorhead, Corrosion of Conformity, Clutch, Buckcherry, Shinedown, Sevendust, Aranda, Valient Thorr, Reverend Horton Heat, Crobot, '68, Gov't Mule, Fu Manchu, The Sword, PM5k, Black Stone Cherry, and more. Highlights from the time on the road includes WIIL 95. 1 Rock Fest, WIIL/FM Presents Rocktober Fest, Summerfest in Milwaukee, The Porcupine Bash, Bomblastica, Mukwanapalooza, Day of the Doomed, Live Nation Int'l Battle of the Bands Finals at HOB Sunset in Hollywood (RIP), and both NAMM Conventions-Summer & Winter. They have Rock Fest in Cadot, WI coming up in July 2023!
