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.

Fuckable
Carnival in Coal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A stool with a skirt could be possible
Let me proceed I am hot as hell
Don't go away jolie Mademoiselle
Let yourself go
Go down below
You won't have this honour everyday
She walked away, found me laughable
My technique must be improvable
Someone find me a charisma dealer
An easy method of delicate humour
Rotten luck
Lost again
Another night
With Mr. Hand
In the end
Nobody goes unfucked but me
(Fuck me I'm famous)
Everyone gets a ride for free but me
(Fuck me I'm famous)
You can't hurry love no you just have to wait
But waiting for thirty years seems OK
(I'm with the band)
Nobody gets unfucked but me
"Man turns animal for the erotic pleasures of women... and men."
Threatening would be unforgivable
Drugging would be a poor spectacle
Though the beast is howling to be fed
Ain't got many choices to fill my bed
Let yourself go
Go down below
You won't have this honour everyday
This time it seemed to be feasible
She smiled and said I was edible
While undressing she swore she loved our songs
So I showed her all my bass licks all night long
Stuck up bitch
She went away
What's wrong with the girls today?
In the end
Nobody goes unfucked but me
(Fuck me I'm famous)
Everyone gets a ride for free but me
(Fuck me I'm famous)
You can't hurry love no you just have to wait
But waiting for thirty years seems OK
(Where is my share?)
Nobody gets unfucked but me
"The chase is better than the catch."
The chase is better than the catch
But catching nothing gets boring
Everyone gets a ride for free but me
Ain't I Fuckable?
The song starts with the singer claiming that they are incurable, and goes on to suggest that even a stool with a skirt could be a potential partner for them. The singer then urges a woman, who they call jolie Mademoiselle (meaning pretty Miss), to not go away and instead let herself go down below. However, the woman finds the singer laughable and walks away, leading the singer to claim that they need to improve their technique and find a charisma dealer. Later, the singer admits that nobody goes unfucked but them and questions what's wrong with girls.
The song plays with the idea of fame and how it can affect someone's sexual experiences. The singer seems to be frustrated that they are not able to have the same sexual encounters as their famous counterparts. The repeated lines of "nobody gets unfucked but me" and "fuck me I'm famous" suggest that the singer is trying to highlight the unfairness of the situation.
The lines "the chase is better than the catch, but catching nothing gets boring" imply that the singer enjoys the pursuit of sex more than the actual act itself. The song ends with the singer questioning their own fuckability.

Its good to see Mr. Bungle is still making albums.
@hamishsummers8585
Actually got here by seeing them mentioned in the comments for a Mr Bungle video. The influence is quite apparent.

@RandomUser179
Mr. Bungle was originally referred to as funk metal as well, before they came up with the avante-garde (cutting edge) label. The wah guitar without distortion is very funk as is the bassline for the most part during those sections.
