I’ve lost count of how much work I’ve done to Dyscarnate, poking at keyboards to the solid brutality of their latest opus ‘And So It Came To Pass’. In a sea of deep-V toting deathcore moshpit clone nonsense riding in from the Atlantic, the band’s dedication to honest death metal is like finding a toy in the bottom of the cereal.
