Reactivated British extreme metal legends CARCASS are rumored to be putting the finishing touches on their first studio album in 17 years with acclaimed producer Colin Richardson (FEAR FACTORY, MACHINE HEAD, NAPALM DEATH, SLIPKNOT, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE). The band has yet to secure a label home for the effort, which is expected in early 2013.

Guitarist Michael Amott and drummer Daniel Erlandsson, who have been touring with CARCASS since the band's reunion was announced in 2007, are no longer involved with the group due to scheduling conflicts with their main band, ARCH ENEMY. Joining guitarist Bill Steer and bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker in the studio for the new CD recording sessions was drummer Matthias Voigt of German death metal and hardcore fusionists HEAVEN SHALL BURN.

CARCASS is in the process of booking a number of live shows for 2013, including appearances at next year's Maryland Deathfest and Chile's Metal Fest.

In a May 2012 interview with Metal Forces, Amott said about CARCASS' future plans, "I'm not working with CARCASS at the moment. From what I hear they're working on something new, but it's not with me. I'm not included in it. I don't know. I don't comment. [laughs] I don't really know what they're working on, so it's not really for me to say, but whatever it is I wish them well, of course. I had a great time doing the reunion shows; we played a lot of shows in 2008, 2009, 2010, and I had a fantastic time at those shows. I'm a very busy guy as well, so I could see why I wouldn't be included. I've pretty much got a full-time thing going on with ARCH ENEMY, and I'm with SPIRITUAL BEGGARS on top of that. It's very difficult for me to fit in a third band with touring and everything."

Eh, if Mike's not on the new album I really don't care.

That's too bad.

I'm really hoping for the best here... kind of an odd choice for a fill in drummer, but who knows what's gonna happen.

If Bill Steer is, then it doesn't matter.

Wow, I was not expecting this at all! Hopefully this means they might actually do a full tour of the US in the future.

Well we all know how good Swan Song was....... Hopefully this is good though.

Sometimes it's best to leave things alone. However, the idea of them touring again is awesome. I just have a feeling the new album is going to suck.

I think it has the potential to be good, but it could just as easily be bad and I really have no idea what to expect from it. No Michael Amott doesn't bother me that much though.

Considering how each of their albums sound completely different from each other, there's no telling what style they would go with.
