Carcass

In a little under a decade, Carcass did almost everything a band could possibly do with death metal without having to stop calling it death metal. They did grindcore. They did deathgrind. They infused classic death metal with groove, melody and arena-sized ambition, and eventually alt-rock-leaning immediacy with 1996’s Swansong, just as the band came to a close for 11 years…

Starting out as a three-piece, Carcass were one of Earache Records' grindcore flagship and had a huge impact on the birth of so-called goregrind style…

Ferocious and uncompromising in their execution, Carcass' ability to intricately dissect the innards of death metal, and display them for us to sonically understand has been their point of excellence for over three decades. In December 2019 the band released their first single in over 5 years "Under The Scalpel Blade," followed by a 4 song EP entitled "Despicable" (October 2020), setting a potent precedent for the full length album to come in 2021: "Torn Arteries". With the album title itself referencing an old demo created by original drummer Ken Ownback in the 80’s, "Torn Arteries" sits as a bookend on the modern side of the Carcass discography, connecting directly back to where everything began over 30 years ago. Most will find that the only real struggle when indulging in "Torn Arteries" is fighting the desire to start it over the second it finishes…

Ferocious and uncompromising in their execution, CARCASS’s ability to intricately dissect the innards of death metal, and display them for us to sonically understand has been their point of excellence for over three decades. Last December (2019) the band released their first single in over 5 years “Under The Scalpel Blade,” followed by a 4 song EP entitled Despicable (October 2020), setting a potent precedent for the full length album to come in 2021: TORN ARTERIES. With the album title itself referencing an old demo created by original drummer Ken Ownback in the 80’s, TORN ARTERIES sits as a bookend on the modern side of the CARCASS discography, connecting directly back to where everything began over 30 years ago. “I think as our 7th album, it does stand out from the others both sonically and stylistically,” explains Vocalist and Bassist Jeff Walker. “You can definitely tell that it’s CARCASS; when you drop that needle on the vinyl, when you hear that guitar tone, you can tell it’s Bill Steer, but each album is always a product of its time.” Most will find that the only real struggle when indulging in TORN ARTERIES is fighting the desire to start it over the second it finishes. It covers substantial new ground for a band with such a reputation, while still retaining that addictive, time honoured CARCASS sound that has come to represent the face of true death metal.

Few bands ever took the term "death metal" as literally as Liverpool, England's Carcass. The band's penchant for crafting song titles that eschewed Satanic tropes in favor of gruesome medical terminology became as much a calling card as their neck-snapping blend of melodic thrash and punishing grindcore, and when they decided to call it quits in 1996 after the release of the relatively disjointed (by Carcass standards) Swansong, it left a fouler taste than usual in the mouths of their listeners…

This Deluxe Edition Re-Issue Box Set features all 5 original CARCASS albums, each with Bonus Tracks or Demo Tracks. Each album also includes an Exclusive DVD featuring parts of the "Pathologist's Report" documentary with interviews, videos & more. All 5 Digipak albums are packaged in an Exclusive Slipcase.

Three Blind Mice Blu-spec CD reissue series. Limited paper sleeve edition. Yellow Carcass in the Blue is considered an important album by talented singer Kimiko Kasai in which she really began to show her original qualities. At the same time, as the "double bill" credit suggests, it was also a showcase for the Kosuke Mine Quartet, which plays two tunes on their own.
