Carpathian Forest
Bloodlust And Perversion
[IRS]


Half of this CD is really excellent while the other quite standard. Carpathian Forest, it seems are either hit or miss with their material. I totally enjoy their old school sound but the times where they play above their stripped down sound, they totally bag out. First half of the CD is particularly good with an excellent intro and some legitimately evil sounding Hellhammer/Bathory inspired tunes. The first and last demos included on the CD are the best features of this collection. The second demo will appeal to the pompous elitist twits out there. You know who they are, the ones that love black metal for it's majestic sound. If those statements offended anyone, too fucking bad...like I care.
