Liverpool's legendary death metal pioneers Carcass have issued several classic albums over the years, including Decibel Magazine "Hall of Fame" inductees Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious (1991) and Heartwork (1993). Whether it was inventing gore-grind (Reek of Putrefaction, Symphonies of Sickness) or creating the template for melodic death metal (Heartwork), Carcass has always made records by which bars were set and rules were broken. The band's classic third slab, Necroticism: Descanting The Insalubrious is an exhibition in expansive gore with mammoth production from Colin Richardson (Slipknot, Cannibal Corpse, Behemoth). The unnerving medical lyrics are still prevalent but a much more precise musical approach is in evidence here as well thanks to the addition of guitarist Michael Amott (Arch Enemy) who makes his Caracass debut.
