This Australian outfit sure changed their sound! When their debut came out they were only too happy to go on tours with the likes of Bleeding Through and Parkway Drive to give you an idea. But on album number two, they sure sound different. I guess enough line-up changes will do that to a band. Feel free to compare them to other Deathwish acts such as Modern Life Is War or The Hope Conspiracy and watch it stick.
While it is kinda weird that they switched sounds that radically and while one might be tempted to yell out loud that they’re jumping on another bandwagon, it’s much easier to just enjoy “Isolation”. With tracks like “Ceremony” (featuring Have Heart’s Pat Flynn) or the superintense “Sun Heights”, it’s not very hard.
While not quite as good as some of the other stuff that Deathwish dropped this year, Carpathian did a solid job on “Isolation” nonetheless making this another fine addition to my collection. Anyone care to guess what they’ll sound like on their next album? Poll’s opening right now!
Score: 7 out of 10
