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 then went on to play several dates across Europe, including festivals like Hellfest Summer Open Air in France and Brutal Assault in Czech Republic.
The band officially disbanded in September 2007.
Since then, Axl has joined Wormfood and C-Rom and also works as a producer at the Walnut Groove Studio. In 2009 he formed The Lovotics with Wormfood's Emmanuel Lévy.
In 2008 Arno formed KrOaK with Marc Pijcke (ACN, Killing Condoms) and also joined Maladaptive. In 2007, he was approached by Scarve to replace Guillaume Bideau. After some rehearsals he finally refused the offer. In 2013 he released a collaborative album as 6:33 & Arno Strobl. He also founded We All Die (Laughing).
In January 2014 Arno Strobl announces a Vivalavida 15th anniversary tour scheduled in summer. In July 2014 he announced that the band changes its name to CinC no to be considered as a reunion since Axel is not part of the new line-up.

Carnival in Coal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So It seems I'm good at nothing, a looser – a bum – or so they say desperately trying to make
my way in life but instead I'm diggin my grave.
And when I'm about to succeed I know you'll fuck it all up because that's how it goes...
that's all.
Then I'll go back diggin' deeper or at least that's what you think, but I won't allow you that
get and you're gonna get more than you ever guessed.
Ch:
And we will see who will be smiling
When I come down the street in my brand new silver Cadillac...
You should remember the story of that young shepherd who had two thousand pretty
biquettes and a goat that he was always beating up.
One day he woke up and there was a biquette left but the goat had turn to an XXL model.
(This is a metaphor)
So you'd better start to mark my words:
the lamb soon will turn to kebab and in the name of Gagnahon I'll become worse than bad.
I'll gather all your tears and wash my ass inside.
It's the principle of turning tide.
You'll suffer the principle of turning tide.

:
The song "Cadillac" by Carnival in Coal is a reflection on the struggles of trying to succeed in life despite constant setbacks and obstacles. The singer acknowledges their own perceived failures and how they are viewed by others as a "looser" or a "bum." They express frustration and disappointment in the expectation that they will never be successful because of how others perceive them. The chorus is a declaration of empowerment, where the singer envisions themselves driving down the street in a brand new silver Cadillac and proving their naysayers wrong.
The song also references a metaphorical story of a young shepherd who lost all but one of his goats and the remaining goat grew to an XXL size. This story serves as a warning to anyone who would underestimate the singer, that they have the potential to become much more dangerous than they appear. The final lines of the song warn that those who have caused the singer pain will ultimately suffer the "principle of turning tide."
Line by Line Meaning
So It seems I'm good at nothing, a looser – a bum – or so they say desperately trying to make my way in life but instead I'm diggin my grave.
Despite my efforts, people criticize me and call me a failure, leaving me feeling like I'm digging my own grave in life.
And when I'm about to succeed I know you'll fuck it all up because that's how it goes... that's all.
I anticipate that you will sabotage my accomplishments because that's just how it always seems to happen.
Then I'll go back diggin' deeper or at least that's what you think, but I won't allow you that pleasure, not much left but my pride but it's growing stronger. The more you ask the more I get and you're gonna get more than you ever guessed.
After setbacks, I will persevere and not let you revel in my failures. My pride may be all I have left, but it's becoming stronger. And the more you underestimate me, the more I will surprise you with my success.
And we will see who will be smiling when I come down the street in my brand new silver Cadillac...
My hard work and determination will pay off when I achieve success and flaunt it by cruising in a brand new luxury car, leaving my critics to envy me.

The tale of the shepherd and his goats serves as a metaphor for the idea that things can change unexpectedly, with a lesser creature turning into a formidable force to be reckoned with.
So you'd better start to mark my words: the lamb soon will turn to kebab and in the name of Gagnahon I'll become worse than bad. I'll gather all your tears and wash my ass inside. It's the principle of turning tide. You'll suffer the principle of turning tide.
You should take heed of my warning, as the tables will soon turn, with me rising to power and leaving you to suffer the consequences of your actions. I'll relish in your tears, and the cycle of karma and change will continue to work in my favor.
