Editorial Reviews

METAL EDGE

"A sound so dark, brutal and unholy, it could only come from the deepest, darkest jungles of Brazil."

Product Description

Brazil’s KRISIUN have been forging their brand of amphetamine-fueled death metal for almost ten years now and are universally regarded as one of the tightest live bands in all of metal. With Works Of Carange, their newest album, KRISIUN have one goal: total annihilation. The new material is a saturating blitzkrieg of unrelenting death metal fury that is a true testament to the band’s abilities and further cements their status as one of the leading death metal bands in the world today.

- Fifth full-length release from Brazil’s premiere death metal act. - Mixed and mastered by Pierre Relimilard (Cryptopsy, Gorguts). - Features an amazing rendition of the Venom classic "In League With Satan". - Works Of Carnage features some of the most striking artwork to ever grace a KRISIUN cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars DEATH METAL PERFECTION, October 12, 2003

extremely brutal, extremely tight, and extremely fast. 3 piece brazilian band that blow the doors off most any band out there. you'd be hard pressed to find a heavier disc. krisiun delivers with a fury that can't be matched. the guitar playing is outstanding with a unique riffage style. easily one of my favorite DM discs, and i've heard and own tons. the production is great and the drums sound much better than their last release. if you like extreme death metal, you will love this album. utterly intense. even the venom cover song.......thats right, venom. out of place, but great. buy this

4.0 out of 5 stars New Standard Bearers, October 31, 2003

Adam Hell (New York, USA) - See all my reviews

On this album Krisiun improves on some of their riffing creativity and also improves on the production from their last album. I consider "Ageless, Venemous" to be a masterpiece, and I don't think this album tops it or equals it, however it is strong and reaffirms Krisiun as the new standard in death metal. They are paralyzing and have a unique approach to writing riffs; their songs envelope you in a psychotic whirlwind.

I give only 4 stars though because the albums seems short, there is too much filler, and the song "Murderer" seems to me a complete re-hash of the song "Ageless Venemous"...come on guys, you don't have to repeat ideas so blatantly. Also the lyrics are pretty unoriginal.

I am slightly disappointed that they didn't improve upon what they have accomplished thus far, but I still think this band is one of the best in death metal of the last few years. I am just wondering who will step up next, because they don't seem to be progressing that much any more.
