Cover Art by Carnivean


Tracks: 1- Post Mortem, 2- Of the Flesh, 3- Dreaming the Dark, 4- Evil Be Thy Name, 5- Shallow Grave, 6- Welcomed By the Mass, 7- Rest In Pieces, 8- Offering of Evil, 9- Satan´s Circle


Carnivean is a death metal band whose main feature are theuir guitar riffs. They are catchy and rhythmic and the band prefers to rely on this rhythms and some odd time signatures and changes like the ones you can hear in "Post Mortem" than playing hyper fast blast beats. IN fatc this is what I like friom this band: that even if they want to be fast and brutal they don´t abuse one note riffs and blast beats and prefer to use more technical riffs, guitar solos and intersting passages. The vocals are guttural but you can understand perfectly the band´s lyrics. The only things I would have changed is the guitar sound which I would have mixed a little bit clearer. This band is a must for lovers of death metal bands who play unusual riffs and time signatures. An original release.

Favorite tracks: "Of the Flesh", "Shallow Grave" and "Offering of Evil"
