Terrell Woods (born 1974), better known by his stage name Carnage The Executioner, is an American rapper from Twin Cities, Minnesota. He is best known for rapping, human beatboxing, performing live, and teaching. Outside of his solo work, he is also part of the groups Ill Chemistry and Saltee.

Based in Minneapolis, Carnage's musical journey has taken him on 15 U.S. tours, 5 European tours, and 1 Asian tour. Carnage gained national fame from his guest appearances with Eyedea & Abilities, however, his original songs are said to be what allowed fans to connect with him.

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". 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'.

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.
