Carbonized
The oddity known as
Carbonized was formed by Lars Rosenberg in 1998, and featured
Dismember vocalist Matti Karki its early stages.
Joined by drummer Piotr Wawrzeniuk, the trio was completed by
Therion mainmain
Cristofer Johnsson, who originally agreed to only perform session
guitarwork but eventually became a full-time member.
Quite different from anything that any of the members would become
involved in later, the three albums ran the gamut from psychedelic
grindcore on
For The Security to dischordant jazz-metal weirdness
on the excellent
Disharmonization to something apparently even
stranger yet on
Screaming Machines (the album is not reviewed
here, but a quote from
Johnsson himself describes
Screaming Machines as "the worst of
Sonic Youth, Syd Barret era Pink Floyd, old Black Flag, and
Voivod").
Even the most conventional of the three (
Security) has an odd
feel about it, as it's quite apparent that Rosenberg and friends
were experimenting with sounds and styles that unfortunately never
caught on.
Disharmonization is not for everyone, it's not an easy listen
and its quirkiness sometimes gets the best of it, but it's also
quite an interesting and cool album, with its clear (but not
particularly melodic) vocal style adding to the strangeness.
Both Rosenberg and Wawrzeniuk were later recruited by Johnsson into
Therion for a time,
and the two also paired up in the doom band
Serpent.
