I don't expect much from death/grind albums, even those optimistically labelled as "technical," which usually means a guitarist speeding through as many unoriginal riffs and licks as he can in the name of showing off, but Cephalic Carnage pleasantly surprised me with their musical ability and whole attitude. This music is indeed technical, but at no cost to the simple enjoyment. Death metal lead guitars still find plenty of opportunities to slip between the cracks, the vocals are varied and thoughtful, and there are even some radical departures with the atmospheric sections of songs like 'Inside Is Out' before the ten-minute finale turns the album on ...
Products similar to Anomalies - Cephalic Carnage
The Metal Opera - Tobias Sammet's Avantasia
Classic power metal inspired by an epic theme.
Nothing too out of the ordinary or particularly grandiose in this first part.
The Klaxon - And Also The Trees
Compellingly miserable with plenty of lighter moments.
Repetitive sound after a while.
Slaughter Of The Soul - At the Gates
Superior template for later aggressive bands with a melodic bent.
Repetitive and samey, as well as headache-inducing.
Silent Company - Black Majesty
Incredible guitar solos, and a great performance all-round.
Predictable and samey throughout, with few deviations.
Silent Waters - Amorphis
Heavy Metal - 2007
Simple Plan - Simple Plan
Some super catchy, hugely fun Pop Punk tracks.
A couple of tracks fail to deliver.
Sing Sing Death House - Distillers
Superb vocal work, excellent female vocals.
The instrumental work of the album is not always up to much.
Singles - New Order
New Wave & Post-punk - 2005
Showtime - Dizzee Rascal
Pop - 2004
Side Three - Adrian Belew
Satisfying conclusion, building on its predecessors and introducing new elements.
Clear overlap with Belew's concurrent work in King Crimson.
