4 out of 5 stars Disincarnate : "Dreams Of The Carrion Kind".......2006-04-15


This is excellent old-school Death Metal. Nothing really groundbreaking, but if you enjoy bands like Obituary / Death / Malevolent Creation / Massacre / Cancer / Carnage / or any old-school Death Metal for that matter, you will enjoy this....

J. Murphy has become one of Death Metal's pioneers, and his message here on "Dreams Of The Carrion Kind" is clear. Death Metal is here to stay...

4 out of 5 stars perfect death metal.......2005-10-01

death metal will always be a genre with limited appeal. there's really no musical hooks to speak of, the vocals are inhuman, and melody is not even an issue. the emphasis is on speed, brutality, and technical playing ability; not too mention some silly gore here and there. when death metal started to really take off, bands like Obituary and Cannibal Corpse gained vast amounts of popularity and inspired thousands of less talented fools to start their own bands. resulting in a vast sea of tasteless and unessesary albums of uninspred tepid trash. but out of the clueless thousands, a few bands rose to the top of the pile. Disincarnate is a great example of an exceptional death metal band; one who can write some really great and powerful songs and inject them with their own unique and distinctive atmosphere. the technical ability of these players is without question, the songs on Dreams Of The Carrion Kind are varied and feature lots of mood shifts and tempo changes, and the lyrics are pretty good too! i'm not sure how popular Disincarnate was when they first came out, but i have a feeling that this classic slice of death metal slipped through the cracks and deserves to be heard. i don't think it will change the mind of any music fan who doesn't already like this kind of music, but it will satisfy any cravings for brutal and thoughtful death metal.

5 out of 5 stars Holy Schniekies!!!.......2005-04-21

I bought this album a year ago. It is amazing. I just got into death metal a few months before this album was released, and it still blows me away. I bought it, because it was on Roadrunner, and James Murphy, one of the world's most underrated guitarists played in this band, and seeing that it was recommended for fans of Obituary, Death and Cancer (three bands James Murphy played in), I picked it up. My favorite track is "Soul Erosion", which drags you down and pummels you. It's just that good. "Stench Of Paradise Burning" is a great track, and so are "Beyond The Flesh" and the rest of the CD. Buy this. I also heard a rumor that Disincarnate may reform, since they still owe Nuclear Blast a record.

5 out of 5 stars The darkest of death metal.......2004-05-21

Disincarnate was way ahead of it's time and nothing else compares. The perfect death metal CD for an enchanting fall evening. All kinds of tempo changes. Haunting doom combined with James Murphy's brilliant, sometimes fast, sometimes gut wrenchingly slow and heavy guitar; perhaps the greatest death metal guitarist ever. I dream for another Carrion Kind. Get well James!

5 out of 5 stars A death metal landmark!.......2004-03-10

Just when all of the death metal of the early 90s was beginning to sound a little "samey", James Murphy--the lead guitarist of choice of any self-respecting death metal band at the time--took it upon himself to rewrite the blueprints for the genre and came out with a CLASSIC!
And this was certainly a long overdue release. Up until DISINCARNATE formed, we had been teased and tantalized by James' melodic solo work on albums by Death, Cancer, and Obituary, but now we could hear all of his composing prowess as well as his virtuoso soloing technique in one shot.
From the opening salvo of "Stench of Paradise Burning" it is relentless melodic death metal. "Monarch of the Sleeping Marches" has to be the centerpiece of the album, while the opening solo of "Soul Erosion" is one of Murphy's most powerful statements.
The band he gathered around him are no slouches, either. The vocalist Bryan Cegon hits the hellish gutturals as he should, but keeps them articulate and understandable, which is a HUGE plus in my book considering that the lyrics are so good they don't deserve to be rendered indecipherable like on so many death metal albums. The drummer is also superbly skilled, as is required for this genre, while James apparently handles bass on much of the album, but it's barely audible as is pretty much the norm.
The remastering was supervised by Murphy himself, and sounds incredibly fresh. A few new photos and great, informative liner notes also come with it, including some revealing comments from James. Add the nice slipcover to the mix and you have a lovingly assembled re-release that is impossible to ignore.
Even if you already own this, buy it again for the 3 Scott Burns-produced bonus demo tracks. There is still nothing like it.
