Carcass

We need a Carcass thread. Everyone should love Carcass, because they destroy. Pioneers of grindcore and melodeath. Everybody get Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious and let your ears weep from joy.

Oh, you're so lucky. My fiancé wants the heavy metal band, Carcass.

Oh, is that spelled with a "C" or a "K"? Oh my god, it doesn't matter, they're both great!

i only have the first three albums by them and they're all awesome

didn't realy like the later melodeath or pure death that much

Mondo Bungle · 08-01-2011, 10:53 PM

Necroticism is their third album, and it's straight up death metal. It's also my favorite.

Howard the Duck · 08-01-2011, 11:06 PM

Necroticism still retains grindcore elements, like blastbeats

pure death as in mostly rhythm-based, including the vocals

My favorite Carcass album as well. Quite possibly my favorite Death Metal album period.

blast beats aren't exclusive to Grindcore.

Blast beats are not exclusive to Grindcore; but one could make a very convincing argument that they are essential to the genre. Grindcore bands that don't use blastbeats exist, sure, but they're certainly the exception, not the rule, and when one thinks "Grindcore", blastbeats - and lots of them - certainly comes to mind.

Carcass are great; my major gripe is their songs tend to run a bit long. "Swansong" is a worthless album, but "Heartwork" contains some gems - notably "Death Certificate".

On a personal note, the greatest pleasures Carcass has given me was when I was being wheeled on a gurney to a surgery room, high as **** on morphine, allowing me the perfect setting to growl out nonsense/what-I-could-remember-of-carcass-lyrics. The attending nurses looked at me like I was, well, absurdly high on morphine (which I was).... but the band allowed me to genuinelly enjoy myself on the way to surgery, and for that, they'll always have a place in my collection.

Necroticism still sounds like grindcore to me, as opposed to, say, Deicide, Obituary or Death

Hells to the yizeah! Carcass is off the meat hook, dog! Necrotism is just about the greatest thing since sliced brizead.
