Review:
It must be awesome for a band to be released by a label that gives away so many copies of your work for free spreading your music to so many people; in this case the debut album of these Czech Death Metal maniacs is being distributed for free with every copy of Parat Magazine #77, just imagine the distribution and promotion these guys get around Czech Republic and Slovakia. Although the band's name sounds familiar, this is probably my first encounter with Dead Carnage, a band founded in 2013 that released an EP in 2015 and a split a year after. The band is formed by experienced musicians, three of them members of Disfugured Corpse (a band I totally adore), probably very influenced by the American Death Metal and Grindcore in their teens, and what they deliver here are 10 brutal tracks clocking a bit over half an hour. Tight, groovy, massive sounding Death Metal highlighted by the powerful vocals of Joshua (that looks like a kid but sounds like a fuckin' wall in your face) and the quite catchy structures of the tracks, and I'd also like to point out the short but very effective guitar solos that pop out here and there throughout the album. The part I didn't particularly enjoy was the drums' sound, too dry and unpolished for the rest of the production, they sound like they're from another movie totally. All in all this is a fun Death Metal album, solid, heavy, oppressive, but without anything to actually stand out in the overcrowded scene.
