Cephalic Carnage - Lucid Interval

[PaulRawNerve]

sorry if a thread about this band/cd has been started ..
has anyone else got this album? and thinks its unbelievable? the title track itself is a complete masterpiece, some of those notes are just perfect!!
any thoughts on this band?

An excellent album from start to finish. I love how the band incorporated jazz-y touches here and there.

There MCD 'Halls of Amenti' impresses me even more. And to think it's the first of three MCD's. Yay!

quite shockingly and unforgiveable, its only the second cd ive got by them .. ive heard that the halls of amenti thing is a one track sludge/stoner thing, is it actually good?

I gave it a shot when it first came out didn't really impress me, but then my friend played it for me the other day, fuck, what a great fucking album.

 

[PaulRawNerve]

cool .. does it have the actual cephalic carnage sound at all? cos its as much their own sound that i love as well as the songs themselves ..

The only one I don't have from CC is their debut, COnforming to Abnormality.

Yeah, Halls of Amenti is a 19-minute doom/sludge song. Excellent artword on the CD itself. It's the first of three MCD to be released by the band. www.willowtip.com has it for dirt-cheap (at least for us Americans)

Great album. Great grindcore with some wierd, original twists.

cephalic carnage is NOT grindcore. I dont even here a tad of grind influence.The riffs, totally death metal riffs, the drums aren't fast enough, it sounds like origin meets suffocation. I still like CC though.

 

[PaulRawNerve]

there is a lot of grind influence in there, i would just call them tech-death if i had to place them somewhere, but fuck it,
cephalic carnage just kick ass!! simple as that ..

 

[abysslooker]

tech-death

that fits perfectly.

 

[PaulRawNerve]

and hopefully if they come over, my band http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/220/tangaroa.html will be playing with them ,, we are definitely gonna be on the leedds show if it happens .. them and exhumed together!! GET IN!!

I haven't devoted much time to Lucid Interval yet, but I love Pseudo......and the lyrics are freaky.

On Amazon.com someone recommended one of their cd's "instead of" Death's Sound of Perseverance (you know, the little recommend a cd feature) so I got Lucid Interval. Lets just say it has yet to impress me (especially when compared to TSOP).... though I really haven't listened to it much yet....

No grind influences? haha. if you say. cephalic ain't a grind band, but there are a lot of carcass influence and that sort of thing. anyway.


The doom cd is the best thing i think they've written...definately worth checking out.
