Album Review: Decapitated - Carnival Is Forever
By Kitty Synthetica


This album will melt your face.

After endless hardship, Decapitated's 5th studio album is a true gem. From the hectic opening of "The Knife" until the end of the penultimate "Pest," every track is like being attacked by a construction site. You don't have time to breathe. You can't deny that the band is technically brilliant, with unbeatable speed and flawless timing. The album really highlights the strength of two of the newest members; Kerim "Krimh" Lechne is consistently brilliant on drums, even without many moments to stand out alone, and Rafa? Piotrowski, who's vocals are mind-blowing. The Guitars and bass are difficult to pick out from one another, but blend completely to make a hefty cacophony of noise. But it isn't all brutality, the final track "Silence" is undeniably beautiful and you could easily fool any fan of mellow guitar to buy the album if you played them this song alone.

Essential for any technical death metal fan.

Album Rating: 8/10
Best Tracks: Homo San, Pest, Silence, The Knife.
