Like cavemen with calculators, this Lawrence, KS trio weld an angular prog attack to headcrushing sludge rock. The result is a perfect alliance of imaginative musicianship and a thorough ass beating. Carnaval De Carne is the newest slab of thunder and stutter from the KILLCRANE... Carnaval is the cerebral asskicking you've been waiting for. For fans of both the progressive, complex music of Am Rep and Skin Graft Records at their respective heights, and the bastard squalls of brutal sludge a la BUZZOVEN and EYEHATEGOD. Definitely not for the timid.

The latest effort by this punishing 3 piece 'Carnival De Carne' is a sonic progressive blast of tight musicianship and multiple changes making this perfect for attention deficit disorder victims like myself. This stuff will be trucking along and out of nowhere switch paths and directions so quick that you don't even know what hit you. The drums are often tribal complete with slippery fills, the guitars are twisted with their back and forth efforts between pummeling power chords and single note riffs/leads, and the bass simply sounds sinister with it's overdriven goodness...just plain sick, and sick in a good way that is.
