Carnifex are a band I've never particularly fallen in love with. their album
Hell Chose Me had some great songs on it, as did their first two albums, but I was never particularly sparked by them. Their last release
Until I Feel Nothing didn't do a whole lot to change that either. Then Carnifex went on a hiatus that left no definite promise of their return and I honestly expected them to fade into obscurity for me. However this year they smashed right back onto the scene with
Die Without Hope and I'm not sure if it's hypocritical or not, but they entirely changed my opinion of them.
Die Without Hope is easily the strongest writing they've had to date and makes it easier to appreciate their back catalog as well.
