Good news: I don't think the tenth anniversary album by German gore death metallers Debauchery is shite. The last time I listened to Debauchery was in 2007, when I reviewed the 'Back in Blood' album. I wasn't a fan, let me put it like that. Luckily, things have turned out to the better for Thomas Gurrath, the now ex-teacher, come blood god. The death metal of the Stuttgart native still has a lot to do with AC/DC, but it certainly also has a lot to do with Six Feet Under, which, for me, is more important. The title track and the following track, Man in Blood, are the 'worst', so to speak, in terms of trying to clone AC/DC.

Although hardly original, 'Kings of Carnage' has a lot of crunch and a brutal, raw groove. Do not expect advanced, intellectually challenging material, but just efficient, rocking death metal which will do just fine, if you're aching to bang that head of yours.
