This release came out in the middle of 2021 and right in the midst of a bunch of really great death metal and I have to admit that I didn't pay much attention to this disc even though I had really liked their Murderous Art release back in 2016.

Formerly known as Cannibal Grandpa, this is the 1st release under their new moniker Bonecarver. I have seen this labeled as both brutal death metal and technical deathcore and I can I hear both sides of it in their style, maybe more "core" than many will care for.

Witness: -[*]-
I bought the original version of this disc back in '98 and really liked it a lot but always wished that they would have gotten a better production. This disc along with Poems - Burn the Past by The Everdawn and the first Dimension Zero release were killer examples of the Swedish style back in the day but they all suffered from poor production in my opinion. Well, this remastered version of At Dusk and Forever sounds great and revitalizes this classic release.

I really liked the first 2 full length albums from this band and had assumed they were split up until I saw that Lord Frost had posted a new album from them at his site recently. I checked it out and it doesn't grab me the way that this older stuff did but it did get me to go back and enjoy these albums again. This is my own HQ CD rip.
