Dreams of the Carrion Kind is an album released by American death metal guitarist James Murphy, under the band name Disincarnate. It was released in 1993.
Dreams of the Carrion Kind was Disincarnate's only album;[1] it was released in 1993, near the zenith of the Florida death metal scene, through Roadrunner Records.[2] It was reissued on February 24, 2004 with bonus tracks.[3]
Music
Most of the album's tracks feature complex structures and constant riff and tempo changes. The bass guitar is nearly inaudible.[2] Dreams of the Carrion Kind displays riffs that Murphy intended to use for the songwriting process of Obituary's sophomore album, Cause of Death.[4]

Eduardo Rivadavia from Allmusic gave the album 4.5 stars of 5 calling it "state-of-the-art death metal in the eyes of most enthusiasts of the genre." He particularly praised the songs "Stench of Paradise Burning," "Beyond the Flesh," "Soul Erosion," "Deadspawn," and "Confine of Shadows." According to him the records' apparent intellectual demands invariably restrict Dreams of the Carrion Kind to a very specific fan base and point in time.[2]
