The most hard-hitting Swedish thrash metal band ever Carnal Forge returned in 2019 with the album Gun To Mouth Salvation, their first album since 2007 monster release Testify For My Victims. Gun To Mouth Salvation, returns to the spirit and viciousness of Firedemon, where aforementioned axemen Jari and Petri shred like they’ve been reconstituted into alternate universe versions of Hanneman and Amott. Opening track Parasites sets the bar high, where brutality, melody and energy form a formidable foundation from which Carnal Forge attack. This style runs through the cunningly fierce Bound In Flames. New vocalist Tommie Wahlberg ups the intensity by pitbulling his way through cliché lyrics about death, war and disease—there’s a bit of previous throat-ripper Jonas Kjellgren at work here. On Carnal Forge’s older releases, the quality would drop about halfway through but on Gun To Mouth Salvation, some of the best tracks are in the middle and near the end. No doubt Parasites and Aftermath rule hard, but King Chaos, The Order and The Stench vie for top of the heap, both present and past. While death-thrash gets earballs for its throwback style, there’s nothing quite like Carnal Forge’s modern bite. Don’t sleep on this one, folks!
