Sweden seems to work on a gigantic Thrash-revival, because so many bands coming from there of late remind me a lot of the Eighties: THE HAUNTED, DARKANE, TERROR 2000, CARNAL FORGE... And they're not done yet...

Alright, CARNAL FORGE play Thrash, real Thrash, hard, heavy, sometimes with really crass vocals, but also with much power and thundering riffs. As some might already know, I am not really the biggest Thrash-fan alive, but still I've been surprised by what sounds came out of my speakers after putting in "Firedemon" for the first time. After surviving the neck-breaking Thrasher "Too Much Hell Ain't Enough For Me" without major injuries, "Covered With Fire (I'm Hell)" almost blew me off, between pure Thrash and incredibly powerful mid-tempo-double-bass you really have the feeling that a firedemon might jump out of your stereo any moment.
