Carcass is a damn good band

[Sunlit Omega]

I'm sitting here in class with nothing to do since I finished my work an hour early and I'm listening to Carcass's album "Heartwork" what a damn good album. I love the melody that's sprinkled throughout the songs all the while maintaing the brutality of older Carcass (I own all of their albums). They made solid albums and are a great band. Who else here likes Carcass, and other bands like 'em?

 

[DLG]

bands like them? doesn't exist

 

[troyguitar]

I really only like the Heartwork CD but it is one of my favorite death metal cd's.

 

[guitarister7321]

Necroticsm kicks all ass. Their best album, in my opinion.

 

[Sunlit Omega]

It just blows my mind how they blended all that melody seamlessly into the songs on Heartwork and still maintained that crushing Death Metal edge. @DLG it's very hard to find a band that is comprable to them, I can't think of any off of the top of my head.

The most obvious similar band (to that era) is Arch Enemy I guess, since Amott has been recycling Heartwork riffs for years.

STOP THIS THREAD RIGHT NOW!!!



Ok... Proceed.

If we're talking Liiva-era AE, then definitely.

 

[Sunlit Omega]

I agree there were a lot of recycled Heartwork riffs from that era but they are definitely two different bands now. God, I want to hear a new Carcass album so badly..

 

[Floppystrings]

Yeah I was about to say, are they doing a new album soon?

At The Gates have said: "No new record will be recorded."

Maybe they are the same way?

Almost positive that Carcass have stated they are not going to do a new record.

 

[Sunlit Omega]

I was really bummed when At The Gates said they weren't doing a new record, I really hope they change their minds, same with Carcass if they said they aren't. I haven't read anything stating one way or the other.

 

[chronocide]

I'm pretty sure Carcass have said they're not doing anything new, can't recall whether I read that or heard it in person, though.

 

[Floppystrings]

This kind of sort of reminds me of Carcass, not many bands are like them though:

 

[Harry]

Damn good is an understatement.
Ridiculously awesome is more like it

 

[tuneinrecords]

Heartwork is awesome. I bought in in the mid 90's I think. I haven't really put it on much lately, but it always stood out in my mind. I also have the album that came out after that and although it's not as good, it still kicks.

Did they break up? What's the deal? I never knew much about them.

 

[guitarister7321]

Talking about bands that sound like Carcass, I can hear a hint of Carcass when I listen to some Arsis. Maybe because Jeff Walker and James Malone voice are a bit similar.

 

[asmegin_slayer]

FUUUUUUUUUCK YEAH!!!

 

[Sunlit Omega]

Has anyone here ever gotten to see Carcass live? I bet that it would have been a fucking amazing show.

 

[chronocide]

A few times, yeah. Put them on once and caught them at a couple other festivals. Excellent shows, all of them. Ken turns up at most of them to come on and say hello too, which is cool.

Yes! I've said that Arsis was the natural progression from Carcass when I first heard them.
