Carnifex's latest is pretty much as brutal as it gets. For me, the 'deathcore' album of the year is a toss up between this one and Suicide Silence's 'The Cleansing'. If you're a big fan of breakdowns, kick you in your teeth drums, and brutal vocals, buy this album.

Carnifex's first release.. Dead In My Arms is so brutal and so good. Perfect blend of death metal and hardcore. Its awesome

This album is truly great. Quite a work of art if you ask me. Very brutal, very easy to get into you like that choppy low Deathcore. If you end up liking this album I would definitely check out "The Cleansing" by Suicide Silence or "The Diseased and the Poisoned" by Carnifex (their next album).

Amazing, good mix of highz and lowz, very heavy. It would definitely be on my top 10 albums of all time.

lame, mediocre, cliche, annoying, just plain bad=carnifex

now dont get me wrong i dont hate the "deathcore" genre like most of you will prolly think i do. I just hate boring mediocre music, like carnifex. People always compare Suicide Silence and Carnifex and to me there is no comparison, I'm not the biggest SS fan (i prefer Whitechapel much more) but SS is a much more talented band than Carnifex. All of Carnifex's song sound EXACTLY alike they're very formulatic starting with a standard blast beat, followed by a two step a breakdown more blast maybe another two step and a big finishing breakdown, all except for the last song on the album... but that song just sucked. And it sounds like this CD was written in about 3 or 4 practice days, by that i mean no thought at all went into the songs it seems, i already said they all follow a common formula but sometimes the band will just throw riffs together thinking they sound cool but not actually caring about the overall picture that is the song so everything just sounds like it was thought out in five minutes by whoever can write the coolest riifs they would throw it into the song by playing an open note than doing the riff or something that doesnt require any thought or musical intelligence. So basically, save your money for this cd but if you REALLY want it just download it or burn a copy from someone, but be prepared to get bored with the cd in less than a week.

Other bands that sound the same:

Salt the Wound

Underneath the Gun

thats all i can think of right now
