The Diseased And The Poisoned-The best release to date basically that i have gotten my hands on. I looked up carnifex through amazon.com a while back and finally decided because i really liked the samples that i'd buy a shirt by them (it was on clearance for 8$) and their two releases for sale at hot topic. I stuck the CD in on the ride home with my girlfriend and we were blown away. Best breakdowns, blasts, grooves, and vocals i have heard on a CD. Best quality recording done by a great studio (Planet Z). Recommended to fans of: The Catalan Garrote, Impending Doom, and early Underneath The Gun. Overall Rating: 9876543456787654345886543456787654345678765432345678765432345678/10Selenite Sleepover 3 track demo-This band was made from the remains of ex-members of my good friends old band Ciano. He left the band and decided to start a project right after ciano deteriorated due to his absence. He created a project with frank carpenito and luciano who were both in ciano and other projects with billy. They decided to go more away from the emocore material and wrote poppy indie rock. They took one song from when they were Ciano and rewrote it as a pop track and also released an acoustic track (not on the demo, but i have a copy). This demo is a nice hardhitting pop CD with great keyboard lines and great vocals put out by frank. Recommended to fans of: Ivoryline and Amen. The Animal. Overall Rating: 9.5/10
Dead In My Arms-Not as good as their newer album reviewed above, but still a really good release. The album has better groove, but more borecore lines. The vocals are great and haven't changed. Track 3 "Slitwrist Savior" was a great song. A couple of songs have real good sound clip interludes that were really tight. The sound quality wasn't at its best, but then again, this was released right before they got picked up by victory records. Recommended for fans of: Impending Doom and The Catalan Garrote. Overall Rating: 8.4/10
Dead And Buried-Next to "War Zone" this is the 2nd best release by Jungle Rot. This is face crushing old school hardcore influenced death metal. The lyrics are gruesome and overly brutal, and i love it. The guitar lines are all groove, no brutal or grind influence. The best songs by Jungle Rot come directly from this release. Their best song is "Psychotic Cremation". Recommended for fans of: old school DM and hardcore/groove. Overall Rating: 98765435678/10
Hvis Lyset Tar Oss-Most coveted of all of burzum releases, and ironically it was the first CD i purchased by him. This is old school hard hitting black metal mixed with ambient. I always thought of burzum as only bm before i listened to them and became a fan. But to my surprise his newest two releases were strictly ambient, and all the old material (this release and Filosofem) contain alot of ambient/atmospheric elements. His material is great black metal, the ambient sometimes gets droning to the point you start to ignore it. The band is on hold due to Varg Vikernes (the sole member) being in jail for multiple church burnings and the murder of Euronymous (from Mayhem). I won't be surprised if he is again denied parole a few years from now. Norway does not want him back on the streets. But it would be cool if he came back and started writing more black metal material. Recommended for fans of: Bathory. Overall Rating: 7.7/10
