It's a very melodic, melancholic but modern and dynamic portion of metal. 9 songs were produced by Szymon Czech (sound mixer, Studio X, Olsztyn), Krzysztof Palczewski (Warsaw) and Tomasz Zalewski (mix, mastering, Zed Studio, Olkusz). (…)Carnal created an accomplished piece, where there is no place for mediocrity but there's space for emotions, atmosphere and mystery. Music is multidimensional so it can be enjoyed again and again, and every time one can find a new sound, shade or pattern which makes the album so not boring.
