I listen to ever metal out there; Industrial, Thrash, Black, Power, Gore, etc. I stumbled on Carnal Forge and they are one my faviorte bands besides Slayer. This cd is fast, aggressive, brutual, violent, and like Reign in Blood the album flows perfectly. Carnal Forge is probably the best undiscovered metal band out there, and I hope they get there due soon.

Anyone who calls this repetitive needs get whatever is lodged in their ears blown out, because this is a fantastic CD. I've been dying for these guys to come to the east coast for years now because all of their CDs are nothing but hits, and I don't have a single complaint about ANY of their songs. This for me is my favorite, with the opening track and "Becoming Dust" and "Hand Of Doom" being the highlights. It's insane! Download it, I encourage you to, and you'll be convinced to buy it like I did!

This album is pretty easy to review. If you like bands like Darkane, The Haunted, The Crown, Defleshed, The Forsaken, God Forbid, Terror 2000, Dimension Zero, Lamb of God and others then Carnal Forge is for you (and if you've heard of all those bands then you've probably heard CF). The basic formula from their first two albums is once again executed with a tad more melody then was present on Firedemon. This might be a downfall for some people, the fact that every song just blisters with monsterous energy and never ceases for any reason. The variety displayed by bands like The Haunted, Darkane or The Crown isn't present too much here. Instead they prefer to thrash from the instant the song starts till it ends, much like fellow Swedes Defleshed (though not quite as good, but thats all personal preference). I'm a huge fan of this particular style of metal (death/thrash) so Carnal Forge get all A'a in my book but if you need some more melody then you might not care for Please...Die! too much, give it a listen first though.

This is the best Carnal Forge album yet. CF's basic formula was to take old school thrash and mix it with modern brutality and production. In the process, they've made a great album that stands head and shoulders above the Gothenburg wannabees. How? Simple: Integrity. Their music oozes an integrity to pure metal.

It's obvious that they COULD have watered down their sound with extra melody to follow the recent trends, but they don't. The melody is there, and they show a good sense of it, but they don't ever use the melody to make a song catchy or memorable. That would be the cheap route. No, they let the whole song accomplish that on it's own brutal merits. It's catchy without simply resorting to a cool melody to make the song memorable. I love bands that can do catchy melodies, but you gotta respect a band who COULD make catchy melodies, but instead write heavy, brutal, memorable songs where the melody is never allowed center stage. It takes some real skill to pull that off.

Carnal Forge are simply the natural evolution of pure thrash metal. 'Nuff said.

I listen to thrash, death, black, and every other metal except for alternative. Carnal Forge definitely satisfies me when it comes to the thrash metal genre. they are faster and more violent than any other metal band. picture a huge defensive lineman running towards you. if you mess with this band, you will end up bloodied and bruised and have two black eyes. you definitely will not be bored listening to this band. I hope two things for this band: that they come out with a new album and that Jonas Kjellgren or whatever his last name is comes back to sing.

...not as good as they were hyped to be, it is a great album, just not thier best.

Right here is some of the most angryest and fastest Death/Thrash metal ever heard. When i first listen to the first track on the cd i was blown away. The brutal vocal's just are amazing. The riff's just are at full speed and the drumming too. If you are a big fan of death and a mix of thrash this is brilliant for you. A must for any Hardcore Metal fan.

Don't get me wrong folks, I absolutely love thrash. However, I guess I think thrash should be more than repetitive, boring riffs that seem patched together randomly without any sense of grandeur or purpose beyond pretending to be angry. As a result I must say that I think this is a pretty poor album. I've listened to it several times through, and it's over before I know it, not only because of the scant material, but because it just sounds like a big wall of boring noise. Absolutely nothing stood out to me. Maybe I've just reached a point where I need more out of my thrash than this gives, but frankly I really think it just is not a good album. Maybe their newer material is better...see for yourself I guess.
