Carcass is a damn good band

[Stealth7]

I fucking LOVE Carcass! I'm still kicking myself I didn't see them back in 2008.

For bands similar to Carcass I'd say give Fleshgod Apocalypse a listen.

Well, for bands that sound like Carcass, County Medical Examiners sounds like pre-Heartwork Carcass. I suppose Exhumed also comes to mind.

That being said, I love Carcass, they got me into grindcore.

 

[TRENCHLORD]

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

Absolutely this, and also the Tools Of The Trade ep. Incarnate Solvent Abuse has all-time classic brutal riffs, as do many others on Necrotism.

Also check out Ghoul. Carcass-thrash.

carcass is a great band.... saw them live on their Exume to Consume tour w/suffocation and necrophagist... they put on a great show..

as for bands similar to carcass... check out general surgery and early aborted (goremageddon and before)

The band that got me into death metal

[SenorDingDong]

One of the few death metal bands that I like


Also they have some pretty badass riffs.

Check out this mashup of Corporal Jigsore Quandary, not actually a different band obviously, but its actually pretty cool in my opinion.





As far as similar bands, I don't really listen to death metal so I can't help there, but their aren't many like them from what I have heard.

Bjork did the same thing. But isn't she a fan of death metal anyway

Great band. In their prime, they had a great balance of crushing heaviness, melody and groove.

Fuck yes. TCME is the best Carcass worship band out there (besides Impaled, of course). Even more awesome is their senior-citizen bass player.

Haha I love Ghoul, Definitely on my top 10 favorite bands of all time.

 

[Triple-J]

I cannot say enough good things about Carcass and even the tracks from Swansong (their weakest album imo) are better than the run of the mill garbage most modern bands release today but Heartwork is the pinnacle for me as it gets the balance between brutality and melody so right but I love this as it's the 1st song I ever heard by them.

 

[FrancescoFiligoi]

Heartwork is possibly my favourite Metal album ever, so all I can say is that I totally worship this band

 

[omentremor]

a band that you can safely say modern metal wouldn't be what it is today without

 

[BucketheadRules]

I fucking love Carcass.

Necroticism is amazing, Heartwork is even better and even Swansong is underrated (Black Star and Keep on Rotting are good tracks)... I haven't heard anything from Reek of Putrefaction but I don't think it'd be the kind of thing I like, I've heard it's nothing like their later stuff.

Heartwork was their peak, definitely. One of the best death metal albums ever, and one that shaped so much music afterwards.

 

[Defsan]

I do have to admit that the only record I like from them is Reek of Putrefaction. The following records are very slow-paced and end up meandering too much.
However, I second everyone who suggested The County Medical Examiners and General Surgery; they're good "old Carcass worship" bands. Other suggestions include Blood Freak, Splatterhouse and Lord Gore.

The video is a bit strange, but this song kicks ass.


I'm digging Bill's RG550.
EDIT: Just realized that's actually Michael Amott, not Steer, but I still want that 550.

 

[Dr. Von Goosewing]

Necroticism, Heartwork, Swansong are all amazing & distinctive albums, it's ridiculous how many heavy & memorable songs they've written. I'd love to hear another album that sounded like Swansong, by any band.



How many other bands can write songs as good as this, & leave it as an outtake?

Lots of love for Heartwork here, I think there was a serious drop in quality after Reek..., Symphonies..., then Necrotism still stands head and shoulder over the more shiny Heartwork. But I suppose people usually fall into leaning toward either the grindier or more death metal albums.
