Hijacking The Zeitgeist

David Hutchison very cool and different.im gonna listen to it today in the headphones.then ill pick my fav song. Favorite track: Blue Light Infinite.

Dan Curhan I'm hooked! Standout prog-death with mixed vox, double-thumb, and groove for days. The vocals are superbly written - a bit unconventional but entirely convincing. It's a gloriously fun record, while also kicking several metric shit-tons of ass.

Not a dud among the whole album. The riffs are vile and the vocals equally so. Carnosus has a one-of-a-kind sound and it's only getting better Twiceburied666
