Shed the Skin – The Carnage Cast Shadows Review

By Mark Z.

I don’t know how some people can keep creating art for so long. Somehow fucking Clint Eastwood is still making movies, and that guy looked ancient when Gran Torino came out in 2008. Shed the Skin aren’t as old as Clint, but they’ve got a wealth of experience nonetheless. Formed in 2011 as a tribute to the long-defunct Ohio death metal group Blood of Christ, this sort-of-supergroup are comprised of several extreme metal veterans, including vocalist/guitarist Ash Thomas (Faithxtractor, Crucified Mortals), drummer Kyle Severn (Incantation), bassist Ed Stephens (Ringworm), and guitarist Matt Sorg (Ringworm, ex-Blood of Christ). On their previous four albums, the group offered up fun, no-nonsense death metal characterized by a sense of frenetic melody. While 2018’s We of Scorn was their high point to me, they’ve never released anything bad, though I agree with Akerblogger that 2020’s The Forbidden Arts was a bit too bloated. With The Carnage Cast Shadows, the group are back again, here to ostensibly show us that these olde dogs still got it.

And honestly, they kind of do. The Carnage Cast Shadows shows Shed the Skin still doing what they do best, all while sounding as inspired as a spritely young act just releasing their debut. As before, these songs largely barrel forward with a sense of belligerent glee, often carried by dexterous, melodic guitar lines that recall later Carcass. The opening title track highlights this energy right from the start, kicking open the gates with fast, pummeling drums and a quick, wriggly riff that’s sure to burrow its way into your brain. The next track, “Crook of the Sacred Skies,” keeps up the momentum with similarly swift tempos while avoiding redundancy via the harsher chords of its main riff. Through it all, Ash sounds as wild as ever, with his manic, garbled growls occasionally overlaid with higher, raspier vocals in a way that recalls Deicide.

Given Shed the Skin’s pedigree, it’s unsurprising that they know how to make an album work well, but The Carnage Cast Shadows is particularly successful due to its variety and tight track lengths. Songs like “Ice Hearted Herald” and “Henge Tomb” mix things up by slowing the tempo early, but it’s in the record’s back half where things get especially good. The opening moments of crossover thrash in “Formorian Hordes” initially make it seem like it’s going to be a repurposed Ringworm song before the track takes an awesome turn by incorporating jumpy couplets and a swirling, melodic solo that recalls modern Kreator. “Scion of Nyx” slings chunky chords at the listener and uses a dramatic pause to great effect, while the closing track, “Stolen from the Storm God,” uses a more measured main melody to end the album in fine form.

In all, there’s little to complain about. While songs like “Swarm and Talons” and “The Mind’s Vermin” don’t stand out as much as their brethren, there really isn’t a bad cut here, and the fact that many of these eleven songs are less than four minutes long means that nothing overstays its welcome. The biggest issue is the string of mid-tempo songs in the record’s first half, which subdues the energy a bit too much after the pit bull viciousness of the first two tracks. Fortunately, the production is great, with punchy drums, a beefy guitar tone, and a forceful overall sound. As always, the performances are also sizzling with inspiration, with each member sounding like they’re giving it their all and having an absolute blast while doing so. Matt and Ash deliver an endless onslaught of lively riffs and solos, Kyle delivers an aggressive drum performance, and seemingly every moment is crammed with Ash’s crazed vocals.

No one’s going to say this album is reinventing death metal, but that’s not the point of Shed the Skin. This project is about dudes who are good at death metal playing good death metal. On The Carnage Cast Shadows, they’ve succeeded by offering inspired performances, varied songs, and tight runtimes. Those who have been following Shed the Skin are sure to enjoy this as much as anything they’ve done, and in the book of Mark Z, it’s one of their best releases yet. Take the plunge and bang that fukkin head!

I know Catteries can be uncomplimented on the internets — say, the same way “cat washing” can cause angina for some, but, Janna and I both argue from direct experience, that washing your Cat gives that baby a new life, and unrequited rights in a whole fresh world of cleanliness — and yes, if you want a purebred cat, you’re probably going to have to deal with a Cattery.

Thirty years ago, or so, we got our first purebred Persian boy from a Cattery. The Breeder told us he wasn’t wanted for breeding because “his spine was too long” and the Breeder wanted “short, compact, cats.” So, at 10 months, the Breeder gave him to us for free. He arrived with his Persian hair shorn, and a long line of ringworm from his chin to his abdomen! The Breeder had no idea our boy had ringworm until she shaved him down (to get rid of all the tangles, and matted hair, we surmise) and she gave us some illegal milky substance “imported from Germany” that would “heal his ringworm in three days.” It worked, as far as we knew, and the ringworm was gone.

Here’s what ChatGPT guessed the “illegal substance” from Germany might have been — it arrived in an unmarked squeeze bottle:

///

Adjusting the timeline to 30-35 years ago, we’re looking at the late 1980s to early 1990s. This era had more limited veterinary treatment options for conditions like ringworm in animals compared to today. Based on this updated timeframe, here are a few possibilities for what the milky substance could have been:

Griseofulvin: This was the main antifungal drug available during that period, especially for treating dermatophytosis (ringworm) in cats. Griseofulvin suspension, which had a milky appearance, was often imported because it wasn’t consistently available in some regions. In Germany, the formulation might have been different or considered superior to what was approved for use in the U.S., leading breeders to seek it out. Importation of veterinary medications without FDA approval was not uncommon at the time, though it was technically illegal.

Enilconazole: This is another potential candidate. Enilconazole was a topical antifungal agent used to treat ringworm in cats, and it was approved in Europe earlier than in the United States. It often came in an emulsion form that could appear milky. It might have been obtained illegally for use in pets when it wasn’t yet authorized by the FDA in the U.S.

Lufenuron (early stages): Though primarily known as a flea growth regulator, anecdotal reports in the late 1980s and early 1990s suggested that Lufenuron might help with fungal infections like ringworm. The European formulations of certain veterinary products were sometimes ahead of their counterparts in the U.S., and breeders might have experimented with treatments that weren’t yet approved stateside.

Itraconazole Compounds: Although Itraconazole became more common a bit later, early compounded versions or experimental formulations could have been available in Europe before gaining traction in the U.S. Veterinary formulations were often specially compounded, potentially explaining the milky texture.

The regulatory frameworks for veterinary medicines were less harmonized between Europe and the United States during this period, leading breeders to seek solutions from European suppliers, especially those with promising antifungal properties that weren’t yet approved or distributed by U.S. authorities. Griseofulvin remains the most likely candidate due to its historical use, but Enilconazole’s availability in Europe and its characteristic milky form make it a strong possibility as well.

Fast forward to now, and our two, new, beautiful British Shorthair Blue Girl named Percy and our wonderful Lilac Boy named Lotty — yes, they are brother and sister from the same litter and they have their own website, and hit song, at BolesBrits.com — and here are some of the issues we’ve had with them over the last eight weeks since we brought them home:

The Breeder got their gender wrong! How did that happen at eight weeks when we picked them up? And so, the girl is the boy; the boy is the girl! (We thought Percy was the Boy and Lotty was the Girl, but not so! Their theme song has been ruined!) Our Cattery contracts are wrong. Our receipts are wrong. We are glad we had a good Vet who didn’t presume, or even assume, the gender of our delightful kittens! Now we know! Make sure all your kittens get fast, gender-affirming, Vet care early on! (I now think that Percy, the Blue Girl, is wearing too much eyeliner for her age, but maybe that now just comes with the breed…)

Both Cats are right now being treated for ringworm and the medicine can be a danger to their liver. Oh, and I guess I was gifted four ringworm lesions from them as well — I had never before had ringworm in my life! For the last two months, Percy, Lotty, and I haven’t been anywhere, except the Vet office; and so all paths appear to lead to the Cats somehow! Our Vet said this can be common in a Cattery. Another expert Cat friend said, “If you’re getting purebred Cats from a Cattery, they’re coming to you with ringworm!). We have learned that Cats in a Cattery often just pass the ringworm back and forth to each other until separation from the Breeder — it’s a hard thing to pin down for sure. We cannot help but imagine, in a Breeder’s eye, that these cats are only “meat to be sold.” I guess that makes some sense on an ecological and fiscal level even though we don’t treat our Cats like dinner.

The Breeder also tried to set us up with an MLM cat food service without telling us we were being set up in an MLM. We aren’t into MLM, we don’t want MLM! We chose a mixture of raw food, Royal Canin, Nulo and Tiki Cat as needed and desired by The Brits!

The “Breeder discount” for Trupanion Pet insurance is from day one with a $250 deductible for each incident over the life of the Cat. If, however, you just register your Cats with Trupanion without the discount, you get the same percentage and coverage for a $200 deductible starting 30 days from registration with Trupanion. So, is it worth an extra $50 deductible for the life of the Cat from day one, for each incident, or can you tolerate not paying a “Breeder” enhancement of $50 per instance by waiting 30 days?

This has been a learning experience for us. We love The Brits! We were told their Cattery has been in business for 29 years, and they are not cheap; but, I guess, you get what you pay for — and then some! — if you are not careful, and always questioning, and forever cautious.

Don’t believe everything you’re told!

Be safe out there!

Experts sound the alarm over #drugresistant #fungal infection detected in US

Story by Matthew Dooley, December 4, 2023

"Experts are sounding the alarm about a highly contagious #fungaldisease that's becoming resistant to common drugs. They warn this could make illnesses like #thrush much harder to treat.

"Medical professionals have warned that the world is not prepared for the growing threat of fungal infections.

"These can range from common conditions like #ringworm and thrush to life-threatening bloodstream infections caused by #CandidaAlbicans and #CandidaAuris.

"David Denning, a professor at the University of Manchester, previously spoke to The Mirror about a drug-resistant form of #ringworm. He explained how this fungus can easily spread in schools and homes.

"He said: 'Skin fungal infections are transmitted from one person to another in schools, homes and with intimate contact. This new #TerbinafineResistant fungus is a new species called #TrichophytonIndotineae and [was] first identified in India.

"Experts believe the rise in resistant fungi is due to overuse of over-the-counter #antifungal creams, misuse of #TopicalSteroid creams, incorrect prescription of antifungal drugs, as well as patients not sticking to prescribed courses of antifungal medication."
