With Carnal Forge having a history spanning 10 years, I am surprised that I have not heard more about them. After a few record labels and line-up changes, maybe they have finally hit their stride with Testify For My Victims, which is melodic yet pummeling all the way through. There must be something in the Swedish water that seems to spawn so many good metal bands. The only knock on Carnal Forge is their similarity to bands such as The Haunted and Soilwork, but on the other hand that can be construed as a good thing. I actually found Testify For My Victims to be a better album than some of the resent releases by the big names in the same genre, so they are definitely doing something right.
With videos already filmed for standouts “Numb” and “Burning Eden,” you should expect to hear a lot more from Carnal Forge this year.
