Hell yeah, it's Carcass day! Chronologically revisiting the entire catalog is an extremely zer experience, with lots of nostalgia. I vividly remember that hot summer day in 1988 when I bought on a sidewalk from a walking distro guy (Domino Minchelli from Purulence I think?) his last copy of Reek of Putrefaction because of 3 overwhelming selling points (I had never heard Carcass before):
- the cover artwork, I could not not possess this thing
- it was on the burgeoing Earache label just like the cultosaurus Heresy/Concrete Sox split LP
- the band members came from Napalm Death and Electro Hippies, which made Carcass, for early grindcore anal completists, not an option to avoid.
Then I went home and played the record and was very disappointed, but claimed to love it :-)))) No match for the Fear Of God 7", but then I got into Prophecy Of Doom and lived happily ever after with that ugly sound. The birth of a love affair with gore-grinding death!
Yo, so Carcass released some of the most legendary grindcore, death metal and "death rock" (Swansong rocks !) albums, with technicalities, massive groove and vile atmospheres, but you know all that already. Hard to pick a favorite, maybe the Peel Sessions and Necroticism? Who cares? CLASSSSSSSSSSICCCCC CARCASSORIZERRRRRRRRR!RR!R! R!R !!RR!R!R!R!R !R R!RR!R!R R ! !R !R!RR!!R !R! R!

CD rip (from the original releases, not the 2007/2008 remasters with bonus tracks).
6 songs are missing from Reek Of Putrefaction on the Symphonies CD, but I am way too lazy to rip such a linear sounding LP, just play twice the last 6 songs.

That was an awesome show with Rotten Sound!


Have a nice week end with the worldwide Carcass heritage:
