Carnage the Executioner

As a music fan since early childhood, Carnage The Executioner began as a self-trained artist. His experience in the music industry includes rapping, producing, performing, and teaching beatbox lessons, but is not limited to these things. In 1998 Carnage The Executioner beatboxed for Desdamona, and the two created the group Ill Chemistry. Shortly after in 2004, Carnage The Executioner started his own independent record label, Hecatomb Enterprise. After creating Hecatomb he used it to present his first release, The Carnology Vol. 0.5 EP. The following year he released Respect the Name. Respect the Name was overseen and largely produced by Carnage himself in 2012 to share with fans his life story. That year Carnage was also chosen by City Pages as one of the "Top 20 best Minnesota rappers". With skills in human beatboxing and over thirty years of experience, Carnage instructs others to "use the body as an instrument". However, with the increase in technology over recent years, he now also applies looping and effects pedals, commonly used by guitarists for added effect. His beatboxing skills can also be heard on albums by Hip-hop artists Aesop Rock and R.A. the Rugged Man. ==Personal life==

After years of struggling to maintain a healthy body weight, Carnage began eating a plant-based diet in 2017. Inspired by his new diet, Carnage started a grassroots movement called Plant Based Poets. Plant Based Poets began in 2019 and is used to connect music lovers who support healthy, earth-friendly lifestyles. The album takes on Carnage's perspectives of 'embracing negativity, over-eating, and attracting'. He lost 125 pounds after starting his diet. == Hecatomb ==

Carnage started his own independent record label in 2004. Originally the label was named Hecatomb Enterprises but was changed to Hecatomb Industries in 2001 with the release of his album Sense Of Sound. In 2004 Hecatomb Crew was created as a branch of Hecatomb Industries. Carnage The Executioner started Hecatomb Crew to recruit a multinational team of like-minded Hip-Hop artists to collaborate new works. == Discography ==
