Carnifex - The Diseased and the Poisoned (2008 Victory Records)
Genre: Deathcore
For fans of: Suicide Silence, Bring me the Horizon, All Shall Perish, Job for a Cowboy (old)
Its a wonder to some people these days why the post-metalcore genre known as "Deathcore" gets so much bashing from Death Metal elitists. For those who are still confused this album pretty much sums it all up.
To start it off the album opens up with its "scary" intro along with a guy growling "SUUUU-FUUUU-RINGG!!" then a slow breakdown kicks in and it evolves into track 2. Suprisingly this is not a bad track if not very impressing to say the most. Then track 3 starts and your like its still preatty sweet for a bit then track 5 comes on and your wondering "so whens this band gonna experiment and do something different?" Unfortunently the entire album does in fact sound the same hell tracks 2 and 4 have the exact same drum intro and exact same harmonies. Carnifex is also another case of a band recyling breakdowns on tracks, however this band dosn't just do it a few times they to it almost constantly.
Bands wonder why kids download these days I mean by pay 13 dollars for the same song put onto the cd 12 times? Fortunently the album is preatty good in short bursts or when ur driving and not really paying too much attention to the cd. Its also good when ur in a bad mood or wanna annoy ur parents/preppy sister, or rednecks in the school parking lot. To sum it up if you've heared Suicide Silence you've heared this band nothing new to be found hear....
Pros:
Very heavy
Breakdowns are.....cool?
Music isn't bad at all
Cons:
Nothing new
All the songs are the same
Breakdowns are heavilly recycled
Theres too many breakdowns!!!
Every song has atleast 4 breakdowns
Did I mention Breakdowns?
Overall: 5.5/10
Buy?: Download it or get it used for a cheap price no need to drop 13 dollars.
