Carcass is a damn good band

[okaymike]

I saw Carcass at Hellfest last year, they played Heartwork from start to finish but unfortunately I didn't manage to catch all of it

Still amazing though, the whole show was accompanied by gruesome pictures (rotting penises and shit) and the album artwork on a projector.

This was always my favourite Carcass track



That outro riff is incredible. Symphonies of Sickness was my favourite Carcass album, come to think of it, it's not far off a decade now since I first heard that album. Get me into death metal (the first time round anyway) so I owe that album a beer for sure!

+1 to the comments about the best guitar tone on an album ever for Heartwork, that had the best tone I've heard in a long time and very few bands come close to having that same edge in their tones.

As much as I love Carcass, I will be the one to openly admit I really took them for granted when I first got into them. Heartwork was my 3 or 4th official death metal/grindcore cd, and was looking for shit along the lines of Obituary and Gorguts, and Carcass didn't seem to fit, it wasn't till I started getting into Napalm Death a bit more that I revisited Carcass, and still kick my self for it.

@Santuzzo I'm glad I was able to influence you to make a killer purchase. Prepare to have that album in your stereo for a long, long time

 

[orakle]

yep carcass IS the band that really got me into metal

 

[BlackWidowESP]

A lot of the black dahlia murder's lyrical themes remind me of carcass.

From the clips I checked out on this thread so far, I am sure I will love the album

I'd be very surprised if you didn't love the album. It's definitely on my own top 5 list of absolutely essential death metal albums.

 

[ShadowFactoryX]

it should be in everyone's top 5 essential metal albums

But then four of your top five metal albums would be Carcass albums. Given you'd have to include their three records that are better than it

Carcass is dawn awesome. When I hung out with Arch Enemy backstage once, almost all I did was to ask Michael stuff about Carcass.

First of all, damn you are lucky! Secondly, If I was as lucky to get the same opportunity I would have done the exact same thing, IMO Arch Enemy will never be on the same level as Carcass, just an all around better band.

AHA!
no........

 

[wlfers]

A better question would be who doesn't like carcass

 

[fps]

I only have Heartwork, the songwriting is so strong, that's one of the things that really sets it apart, as well as the killer riffs, and the production (clean but alive), and the performances, and....
