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.

Right Click... Save As...
Carnival in Coal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the work is done
Easy as ABC, on a golden plate
Free for everyone
A track won't be enough
Get the complete works,
What does it change?
5 hours to swallow
Anything strange?
From Elvis to the Doors up to Judas Priest
I've got it all! Browse my folder, fill your disk
From Sinatra to Genesis up to Motörhead
The universal knowledge
The masterpieces of all time Art
For free, just add it to your virtual cart
And when a singer gets ruined and ceases to sing
The TV channels will build some new kings
"Right click... Save target as..."
Or fill your wish list
Don't forget anything, it would be a shame
No file is missing
The last one of the folder
You shouldn't neglect
This one's a hit
The artist is glad to show you
His supermarket bills
And his rent receipts
You're currently listening to "Right Click... Save as..." from the new Carnival in Coal album called "Collection Prestige".
Feel free to download it and enjoy it with all your friends.
And, by the way, don't you drink and drive, and if you're old enough to vote, register.
That's one good advice from your Carnival in Coal friend.
From the Shadows to the Stones up to Napalm Death
I've got it all! Browse my folder, hold your breath
From the Beatles to the Bee-Gees up to Brutal Truth
The universal knowledge
Went to the baker's
Stole some bread
Got arrested
That makes no sense
The lyrics of Carnival in Coal's song "Right Click... Save As..." convey a scathing critique of the ease in which we consume media today. The act of downloading music has been simplified down to a few clicks on the computer, casting aside the effort and dedication that goes into creating and producing art. The lyrics suggest how easy it is to get access to unlimited music from different artists and genres, linking to the idea that the value of music has dropped in the age of downloads. The lyrics mention getting “5 hours to swallow” which could refer to the amount of music that can be consumed in a short amount of time, which can't be fully appreciated or savoured.
The song has elements of sarcasm and irony throughout. It draws attention to the fact that downloading music makes one a virtual owner of numerous albums and songs, and the amount of music that can be downloaded is so vast that at times it doesn’t even make sense. The lyrics emphasize the commercial side of music artists, as exemplified in “The artist is glad to show you his supermarket bills and rent receipts”, highlighting the financial struggles and pressures faced by musicians. The song is a comedic take on the grim reality of the music industry, which seems somewhat ironic given Carnival in Coal's place within the industry itself as a heavy metal band formed in France in 1995.
