For the band profile on Siege of Amida Records' webpage: "The UK’s Dyscarnate play their own unique breed of intense, blistering death metal. After devastating venues across Europe, they have become a force to be reckoned with on the frontline of the international death metal scene.

Following the release of the debut EP ‘Annihilate to Liberate’ in 2008, Dyscarnate were met with overwhelming feedback from national magazines, record labels and fans alike.

DYSCARNATE Enduring the Massacre

Album · 2010 · Death Metal

UMUR

"Enduring the Massacre" is the debut full-length studio album by UK death metal act Dyscarnate. The album was released through Siege of Amida Records in May 2010. Dyscarnate formed in 2003 under the Incarnate monicker but changed to the current one in 2004. They released one demo under the Incarnate monicker and a second demo under the Dyscarnate name before recording and releasing the "Annihilate To Liberate" EP in 2008.

Stylistically the material on "Enduring the Massacre" continue the brutal and technically well played death metal style of "Annihilate To Liberate" (2008). It´s artists like Dying Fetus and early Misery Index that I´m predominantly reminded of, so it´s relentlessly brutal and aggressive death metal, with intelligible growling vocals in front. The album is loaded with riffs (but no leads or solos), tempo changes, breaks, and heavy brutal grooves, and it´s the kind of release which is designed to destroy. When the 8 tracks on the 34:53 minutes long album have ended, I´m left completely exhausted, beaten and bruised. It´s highly energetic music, and there is no room left to breathe. As a consequence "Enduring the Massacre" does suffer from sounding a bit the same throughout the album, but it´s not a huge issue considering the music style, and the album features so many other redeeming qualities like the high level musicianship, the powerful, raw, and well sounding production job, and the effective songwriting, that I´m prepared to overlook the fact, that a bit more variation between tracks could have made the album a more interesting listen.

While "Annihilate To Liberate" (2008) certainly was a promising first label release from Dyscarnate, the promise that was given on the EP is more than fulfilled on "Enduring the Massacre", which is through and through a high quality death metal release. A 4 star (80%) rating is deserved.

DYSCARNATE Annihilate to Liberate

EP · 2008 · Death Metal

UMUR

"Annihilate To Liberate" is an EP release by UK death metal act Dyscarnate. The EP was independently released in November 2008. Dyscarnate formed in 2003 under the Incarnate monicker but changed to the current one in 2004. They released one demo under the Incarnate monicker and a second demo under the Dyscarnate name before recording and releasing "Annihilate To Liberate".

Dyscarnate are the type of act who don´t let the listener wait in suspense to reveal what they have to offer. Right from the opening notes of EP opener "Fuelling the Ignorance" it´s made abundantly clear that these guys mean business...serious business in terms of delivering their brand of death metal in the most caustic and relentlessly aggressive, brutal, and furiously fast-paced fashion. It´s a sledgehammer to the face type of listening experience and "Annihilate To Liberate" is a release bound to leave the listener out of breath and exhausted. There isn´t a second on this 5 track, 21:28 minutes long EP which can even remotely be considered a breather.

While it´s definitely a pummeling release in every way possible, there is a bit more to the music than just brutality and aggression. This is technically very well played and the tracks feature effectful tempo changes, sharp riffs (and heavy brutal grooves), and some very convincing and commanding growling vocals. The lack of lead guitar motifs and solos make the tracks a slightly one-dimensional listening experience, and just a few of those would probably have made the EP a more memorable release. Dyscarnate are completely uncompromising though, and while I may not agree with every songwriting decision they´ve made here, I always applaud a band who doesn´t compromise with their musical vision.

"Annihilate To Liberate" features a raw, brutal, and unpolished sounding production job, and while the production suits the material well, it could have been interesting to hear a few more details (more variation), as it´s obviously music featuring a lot of intriguing notes and rhythms. So if you enjoy your death metal brutal, aggressive, and raw, but still played with great technical skill, "Annihilate To Liberate" is a recommended listen. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.

DYSCARNATE With All Their Might

Album · 2017 · Death Metal

Nightfly

It’s been five years since Dyscarnate released an album, the last being 2012’s excellent And So It Came To Pass marking them as one of best death metal bands to come out of the UK.

Roll on to 2017 and With All Their Might sees them returning with a more accessible sound. We are talking relatively speaking here of course as this album is still pretty brutal and complex at times but the riffs are more immediately memorable and they’ve injected plenty of groove into songs like opener Of Mice And Mountains and Iron Strengthens Iron. This definitely works to the albums benefit with most of the songs displaying strong hooks that beg for the repeat button to be hit. The playing is absolutely incendiary as fans of the band will expect with all showing their mastery of their chosen instrument. Best of all there’s not a single weak moment, the material showing plenty of diversity from the almost doom pace of Traitors in The Palace to the more explosive All The Devils Are Here, this really is death metal played at its best with a crystal clear modern production displaying the songs to great effect.

In case you hadn’t figured yet I’m loving this album and as the year draws to a close it’s pretty clear this will feature pretty highly in my album of the year list here on MMA.

DYSCARNATE With All Their Might

Album · 2017 · Death Metal

Kev Rowland

This is the third full-length for UK death metal trio Dyscarnate, and their first on Unique Leader. Since they released their debut EP back in 2008 the guys have been steadily gaining much critical acclaim with their debut album getting them named “best new death metal band in the UK, without question” by none less than Terrorizer magazine, while the second saw Metal Hammer crowning the band, “the new kings of UK death”. It has been five years since that release, during which time they have been honing their craft onstage, playing gigs with the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Carcass, Fear Factory, Gojira, and Decapitated, but at long last they are back.

With Matt Unsworth keeping everything solid at the back, it is down to Tom Whitty (guitar, vocals) and Al Llewellyn (bass, vocals) to demonstrate that they are still one of the best bands around when it comes to true brutal death metal, and this they do with aplomb. Having two singers, both in the death style but different from each other, gives the band an edge, while the number of hours they have played together comes through in that they are so tight. Bass and guitar is often as one, driving the sound into the cerebral cortex. Death metal in its truest form rarely gets much better than this.

DYSCARNATE And So It Came to Pass

Album · 2012 · Death Metal

Time Signature

The weight of all metal...

Genre: death metal

Pure, unadulterated death metal with a very strong British musical identity, Dyscarnate could very well be the next Bolt Thrower or Benediction. At least on this, their sophomore album, on which they deliver the death metal goods.

The ten tracks are rich in strong riffs, and the juxtaposition of heavy and midpaced sections and furious blastbeat sections generates a certain dynamism. Especially the heavier parts and the midtempo parts are headbanging-friendly and, in many ways, And So it Came to Pass is the perfect soundtrack for moshpit action. While production is up-to-date, and the overall sound is that of modern metal, there definitely is a classic death metal sensibility, and fans of Bolt Thrower and Morta Skuld will probably like this release.

The musicianship is top notch and everything is kept extremely tight throughout the entire album, and the guttural vocals suit the music perfectly. I do miss some guitar solos, though, as they would add a further dimension of variation to this album.

Slamming and heavy death metal with a touch of brutality, Dyscarnate's And So It Came to Pass shows that classic death metal is alive and (ass)kicking. Recommended to fans of old school brutal death metal.
