Carnac are a band from Turkey that plays a very melodic and progressive mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their self released 2021 album "Barren Wastes Of Want".
Rain and thunder sound start off the album before adding in a brief use of keyboards and acoustic guitars before going into a heavier musical direction. When the music speeds up a decent amount of tremolo picking and blast beats can be heard and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them.
Vocals are in between death metal growls and black metal screams while the solos and leads are also done in a very melodic style. Clean playing can also be heard in some parts of the recording along with the songs also adding in a decent mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts and the riffs also add in a great amount of melody as well as the music also having its progressive moments.
On this recording Carnac takes their music into a more aggressive yet melodic and progressive blackened death metal direction. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, philosophy and abstract themes.
In my opinion this is another great sounding album from Carnac and if you are a fan of melodic and progressive blackened death emtal, you should check out this recording. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Prevalence" "Abysmal Ire" and "Loathing Gaze". 8 out of 10.
