"Imagine Dark Funeral, but without the boring Satan stuff and the monotonous riffs of "Diabolis Interium". Replacing that, are awesome lyrics and amazing riffs that don't bore you. The singer's scream isn't as high pitched as Ihsahn but is still awesome and really brutal. Drumwork is outstanding and his easily comparable to Trym's, (ie Emperor's new drummer). Trem picking dominates this album but riffs vary throughout the CD which gives it a refreshing feel. Guitarist uses stacked power chords and major thirds and sixths to give the listener a well deserved departure from the everyday satanic minor and diminished intervals which dominate lots of black metal band's songs. If you're sick of other satanic black metal and you want an awesome refreshing new band to check out which is still brutal as hell, CHECK OUT THE CROWNING CARNAGE BY THY PRIMORDIAL!"

Awesome Swedish Blackmetal without the Satanic overtones

"I've listened to numerous Black/Death metal bands over the years and it's great to see bands like Thy Primordial from Sweden. They are fast&brutal like Marduk, but without over doing the Satanic themes most Blackmetal bands are into these days. Crowning Carnage is the first I bought from these guys and it won't be the last one.T.P. is a welcome change of pace and are certainly one of the top Black/Death metal bands in the world. Give them a try and you'll see what I mean."
