Carcass

Musical Group

English extreme metal band formed in Liverpool in 1985; pioneers of goregrind/grindcore who evolved into technical and melodic death metal.

Key members mentioned in the reviews include Jeff Walker, Bill Steer, Ken Owen and Michael Amott. Early releases and demos (Reek Of Putrefaction, Symphonies Of Sickness) are celebrated; Necroticism and Heartwork are repeatedly cited as landmark albums. Reunion-era releases (Surgical Steel, Torn Arteries, Despicable and related EPs) are frequently criticized for their cleaner production. Labels referenced include Earache and Nuclear Blast; producers Colin Richardson and Andy Sneap are named in relation to later production.

DeBaser reviews praise Carcass's early, genre-defining records and often criticize later reunion-era releases for over-clean production and predictability. Early albums like Reek Of Putrefaction, Necroticism and Heartwork are repeatedly cited as landmarks. Reunion releases (Surgical Steel, Torn Arteries, Despicable and related EPs) receive notably more negative responses.

For:Fans of extreme metal, metal historians, and readers interested in the evolution of grindcore/death metal.

 a very predictable and useless album.
