hah thanks

This is great. I hope the backlash over their last album doesn't scare them away from having stoner/doom parts on this one.

I think I'll have to give this a few more listens. Sounds pretty good tho. Looking forward to the new album coming out.

oh lord, this cd kicks all kinds of fucking ass

this song is awesome, this cd will blow away anomalies.

This shit is fuckin nasty!!

I cant stop listening to this song... this shit is amazing

They're all amazing!

wow...this might be their best album yet...that might be saying a lot, but I'm saying it.

wow... this might be the first time everyone agrees that an album whoops all sorts of ass.

i'm listening to this album in its entirety and it kicks fucking ass
i like anomalies and Lucid but i think this might be better than those...pretty much every riff is awesome, the production and drumming are the best i've heard from them

Cephalic Carnage is fucking CONSISTENT. I've enjoyed each of their releases immensely - even the weird-ass "doom" CD on Willowtip.

And I don't mean to brag or anything, but Catalyst MAY have out-smoked them one fine evening several years back. Love them dudes (no homo).

This CD is waaaaaaaaaaaay better than their last one. I did not in any shape or fashion like Anomalies as I have been for quite some time a huge fan of all their older shit. My fav. is still Exploiting Dysfunction though.

i dig it

yup, this album is awesome

Just heard a couple songs from it. Must say it is indeed better than Anomalies.

just heard some of the songs and it sound fucking awesome!!!

thank god, i was fearing they'd put out a whole album of that stoner rock horse shit. this is sick.

i really dig this album.

Anomalies was a great album. Stoner rock/metal is a wonderful thing.

This album is great, too.

I'm also very happy they didn't get scared from Anomalies's reception and go back to straight deathgrind all the time. G.O.D. is awesome, as is the hidden doom track.
