Editorial Reviews

2007 reissue of the third album from the Norwegian Black Metal band. Originally released in 2001, the tracks on this album were recorded at the same sessions as Strange Old Brew, their sophomore album, and offers a continuation of the grim Black Metal assault featured on that album. In fact, Morbid Fascination Of Death takes the line of experimentation even further to great effect, mixing their trademark sound with inspiration from the '80s Black Metal scene and Punk/Hardcore genres, all spat out with an overdose of death and misanthropy. The band features mainman Nattefrost, who has also enjoyed a successful solo career, alongside his main band. Features a cover of the Mayhem track `Ghoul' and a reworked version of the song `Carpathian Forest', originally released on the Through Chasm, Caves & Titan Woods EP. Peaceville.

I own all of Carpathian Forest's CD's and this is one of the best. They all are good as far as I'm concerned, but almost every song on here is special. This is not super-speed Black Metal. In fact it has jazz, punk, and good old heavy metal elements to it. Highlights are songs: Carpathian Forest, Through Self Mutilation, Knokkelman, Warlord of Misanthropy, A World of Bones, and Speechless. There are a couple of atmospheric songs on the CD also, very nicely executed. As always Nattefrost is the charismatic leader of this bunch, gotta love his nasty ways. Also a highlight is the excellent drumming and guitar work.
