New Carcass Album??!!!!

[mattlion]

Count me as interested. Heartwork was the first death metal album I bought as at that time I was totally into the emerging melodic death metal sound. That album basically was a template for nearly every heavy album I bought from 1995-2002.

It wasn't until a bit later that I got into their earlier, grindcore offerings.

And thankfully, I still have yet to listen to much of Swansong....

I was hoping for something like this when I heard the news. I'm definitely curious to see how this turns out.

As long as they don't go the Morbid Angel route in terms of mix & stupid lyrics, it'll be fine with me.

Reactivated British extreme metal legends CARCASS have set "Surgical Steel" as the title of their first studio album in 17 years, to be released later this year via an as-yet-undetermined record label. The band's first studio outing since 1996's "Swansong" will be the first to feature new drummer Dan Wilding (ABORTED, TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED) and also features guest vocals from original sticksman Ken Owen. The CD was produced by Colin Richardson, who has previously worked with FEAR FACTORY, MACHINE HEAD, NAPALM DEATH, SLIPKNOT and BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE.

While the final track listing has yet to be confirmed, the following songs were recorded during the sessions:

* The Master Butcher's Apron
* The Granulating Dark Satanic Mills
* A Congealed Clot Of Blood
* A Wraith In The Apparatus
* 316l Grade Surgical Steel
* Cadaver Pouch Conveyor System
* Captive Bolt Pistol
* Intensive Battery Brooding
* None Compliance To Astm F899-12 Standard
* Mount Of Execution
* 1985/Thrasher's Abattoir
* Unfit For Human Consumption
* Zochrot
* Livestock Marketplace

Some of the gory track names give me hope for this.

That album is 50/50. Keep on Rotting in the Free World, Tomorrow Belongs To Nobody, Child's Play, Room 101, Firm Hand and Go To Hell are all good songs (Keep on Rotting... is an awesome song). The rest is pretty forgettable.

I actually thought "Keep on Rotting" was a standout when I saw them in NY a few years ago, but maybe that's just because it's so obviously different from the rest. It made me appreciate that song/album more.

I'll admit that it was my favorite song they played that night. The guitar-work during the chorus is awesome.
