Don's Metal Reviews

"Bolstered by churning riff-work and plenty of tight, straightforward patterns

that carry that syncopated style of riff-work along throughout the tight and
energetic paces filled with rumbling rhythms pounding out the simplistic riffing
as well as more of a plodding mid-tempo series of work carried out by the
choppy chugging riff-work throughout here, the album as a whole tends to
offer a great variety and dynamic that works itself into a series of aggressive-
minded efforts that are quite enjoyable." 88/100

Dire Notes

"There is some serious dedication to subject matter on this Iranian band's part
when it comes to lyrical content, and its not really all that usual that a Death
Metal band shows that sort of consideration. Sure, string me up and what-have-
you but it's true, a lot of Death Metal bands stick to the typical tropes and
certainly begin to feel stale after a while when it comes to substance - this
album doesn't. A lot of thought was put into making tracks non-typical, Guitar
riffs, though sometimes a bit of a chug-fest are interlaced with complicated solo
work, which even sometimes play with dissonance, and even clean sections
that, somehow, come off dark and brooding."

"In summary, Obscure Visions of Dark is a very solid Death Metal album that
goes a little beyond the traditional boundaries of that specific type of metal,
 giving the listener not only another excellent option in the world of extreme
music but also a unique opportunity to know more about the Heavy Metal
scene in Iran." 7/10

"With the crunchy and high speed riffs, low and angry gutturals, and merciless
drumming, I can feel the anger and passion going into making this music."

"Ce qu'il y a de bien aussi avec Nex Carnis, c'est qu'il ne clone pas tel ou tel
groupe ou scne comme le font beaucoup de combos actuels. Au lieu de cela, il
a la bonne ide de runir plusieurs influences pour en faire non pas quelque
chose d'original mais au moins de trs russi. Les morceaux, de cinq-six minutes
en moyenne, fourmillent de riffs et de changements de rythme, sans paratre
imbuvables. Au contraire, tout coule de source, tout s'enchane merveille de
faon naturelle, sans trop en faire." 9/10

Tottentanz Magazine

"Das brutale Hochgeschwindigkeitsgeschoss Obscure Visions Of Dark bietet

alles andere als unbedachtes und sinnloses Geknppel, vielmehr
leidenschaftliche, schwere Riffsalven und etliche, hintereinander weggezockte
Geschwindigkeits- und Strukturwechsel, um tdlicher Langeweile erst gar
keine Chance zu geben, sich irgendwo auf dem Album zu manifestieren. Diese
bedrohliche Aura ist die Begleitmusik zur Exhumierung des pure-fuckin Death
Metal." 81/100

 "Obscure Visions of Darkodie mrakom a posebno ga karakteriu izuzetno
duboki vokali , jednostavni ritmovi koji na trenutke pojedine deonic pretvaraju
u masni doom metal. Takoe jako interesantan je i progresivan black metal
pristup kada su pojedine gitarske deonice u pitanju. No, ovo je na kraju krajeva
dobri stari death metal inspirisan amerikom DM kolom." 7.5/10

"Pengemasan Musikal yang makin memberikan angin segar bagi Perjalanan

Karir band menjadi Mantap sangat terasakan sekali karisma-nya di " Obscure
Visions Of Dark ". the Atmosphere has the Essential feel of Random Bruising in
it, and that has only recently been fading from the Essence of Death Metal once
becomes ordered and loses the Illogical flow that skips around Mutilating verses
and Cramming Incompatible things together by force, it Ceases to be Death
Metal." 8.5/10

"Tan brutal como oscuro, tan complejo como atmosfrico, este primer full
lenght es una combinacin de lo ms mstico del Death Metal de la vieja escuela
en la vena de Morbid Angel, el Finnish Death Metal. Ellos tres desandan con
 maldad y dureza los tenebrosos caminos de un Death Metal oscuro y
penetrante, en donde los riffs escupen bilis de odio, tiiendo todo de negro."

Grinder Magazine

"Como deca previamente, este disco es demoledor de principio a fin. Sus temas
logran esa preciada alquimia destructora, que otorga brutalidad entremezclada
con atmosferas cargadas de maleficios. Asimismo la velocidad es acompaada
del tecnicismo necesario por parte de sus msicos para que este lbum
destaque."

The Metal Post

"La propuesta de esta banda radica en mostrarnos un Death Metal brutal y

tradicional, esto es, mucha tcnica y velocidad de ejecucin combinado con los
riffs graves y muteados de la poca ochentera."

"All tracks have dense and explosive miasmas, and bring high doses of brutality
on specific moments. I liked how these guys injected some particular musical
arrangements"

Metal Altar

"Obscure Visions Of Dark is a strong debut, filled with intensity and a solid
production. Too many of the newer OSDM bands simply mimic the 1990s
Swedish scene, but the blackened elements help set Nex Carnis apart." 7/10

"Imaginaos a los primeros Morbid Angel, pero con buen snido de batera ( cosa
que nunca tuvieron) un poco de los Deicide de los primeros tiempos, y bastante
de malevolant creation, es para orientaros un poco. Un primer tema, con
continuos cambios en la base rtmica, me sorprenden muchsimo en los cambios
de ritmo, es ah dnde tienen un punto de originalidad bastante alto, suena
picos, thrashsers por momentos." 7.5/10

Metal Wave

"Album di debutto dal titolo Obscure Vision of the Dark per gli Iraniani Nex
Carnis forgiato con un death metal old school di estrema intensit e dai suoni
potenti e nitidi. Il lavoro, proposto con sei brani, appare avere tutte le carte in
regola sin dal primo ascolto: riff taglienti, ritmiche proposte con precisione
chirurgica, growl di impatto e numerose variazioni dai tratti viciniori a gruppi
che ricordano Cannibal Corpse e Vader." 7.8/10

"A limage du superbe artwork cr par un certain Joe "Ravager" Romero, le

death metal de Nex Carnis est sombre, tordu et diablement cratif. Il ny a pas
de grosses influences qui sautent vritablement aux oreilles, du moins pas
immdiatement, mais au contraire un savant mlange de rfrences
prestigieuses issues du pass, mles dune dynamique dfinie par la faon qua
Incruent de lier, par un riffing simple mais catchy, les parties de batterie
complexes et varies de Jirka." 17/20

 "Throughout the recording there is a great mixture of slow, mid paced and fast
parts and the vocals also bring in screams at times and when guitar solos and
leads are utilized they are very dark and melodic sounding and all of the
musical instruments have a very powerful sound to them and some of the
tracks also bring in elements of thrash while another track also brings in a brief
use of atmospheric sounds. "
