Carnival in Coal is an extreme metal/avant-garde metal band from France. Founded in 1995, the band claim to be an effort to create the musical missing link between Mr. Bungle and Pan.Thy.Monium, while pushing the limits of good taste at the same time. The band mixes death metal, black metal and other extreme metal genres with off the wall uses of other genres such as easy listening, disco, pop and other things.

Originally, Carnival In Coal signed to and released their debut album though the now-defunct French indie label, War On Majors Records. The band then released two albums through another French based independent Metal label, Season of Mist, and later signed a multi-album deal to Earache Records and their Elitist Records sub-label. The only album to come from this deal was 2005's Collection Prestige.

The band played its first live show ever in April 2006 at the Killer Fest in Chaulnes (France) and played several dates across Europe since that day, including festivals like Hellfest Summer Open Air in France and Brutal Assault in Czech Republic.

The band officially disbanded in September 2007.
