About Carcass
Artist Biography
England's Carcass are an extreme metal band credited as pioneers of grindcore and melodic death metal. With their 1987 demo, Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment, and their 22-song debut full-length, Reek of Putrefaction, a year later, they showcased a brutal, physically punishing, technically demanding playing style with gory lyrics drawn from industrial manuals, medical textbooks, societal aberrations, and politics. By the time they issued 1991's Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious, their sound had evolved into a raw, unruly blueprint for technical death metal. 1993's influential Heartwork was one of the first recordings of melodic death metal. With sonic and aesthetic evolution came conflict and tension, and the band split after 1996's Swansong. They reunited and cut Surgical Steel for Nuclear Blast in 2013. The album's relative accessibility, massive riffs, and thrash metal hooks won the trio a legion of new fans, paving the way for 2021's Torn Arteries.
