"Here we have the 4th album by France's Carnival In Coal. The band consists of 2 members. Axel performs all instruments and Arno takes care of all the vocals. This band has been described as Morbid Angel meets Mr Bungle. I think that is a pretty good description and it's what tempted me to pick up their albums about 4 years ago. There are a lot of layers and instrumentation here which requires several listens to absorb. Plenty of catchy and varied songwriting. You'll find everything from death metal to disco here. I also recommend hunting down their 3 other releases (Fear Not, Vivalavida and French Cancan which is composed mostly of cover songs done in Carnival In Coal fashion).
