Our Take

If the only thing you know about Carcass is that they sound like a bunch of chainsaws having a heated argument, then it's time to get educated, my friend. Heartwork, their fourth studio album, is a ferocious beast of a record that will leave you both headbanging and contemplating your mortality.

This album sounds like it was recorded in the depths of hell, with riffs so sharp they could slice through steel and vocals that sound like they're coming from a demon on steroids. But don't let the intensity fool you, because beneath all the brutality lies a surprising amount of melody and craftsmanship.

Tracks like "Buried Dreams" and "Carnal Forge" are perfect examples of Carcass's ability to blend technical prowess with pure aggression. The guitar work is nothing short of mind-blowing, with solos that will melt your face off and rhythms that will have you thrashing around like a madman.

But what really sets Heartwork apart is its visceral lyrics, which delve into themes of death, decay, and self-destruction with a dark sense of humour that only Carcass could pull off. It's like a horror movie in musical form, complete with blood, guts, and plenty of surprises along the way.

So if you're looking for an album that will make you rethink your definition of heavy metal, look no further than Carcass's Heartwork. Just don't say we didn't warn you. This is not for the faint of heart, but for those brave enough to dive headfirst into the sonic abyss.

About the artist

Carcass

Carcass, the legendary British extreme metal band known for their brutal blend of death metal and grindcore, have been ripping eardrums apart since the late 1980s. With their visceral lyrics and blistering riffs, Carcass have solidified their status as pioneers in the metal scene. Fronted by the dynamic duo of Jeff Walker on vocals and bass, and Bill Steer on guitar, Carcass have a sound that is as distinctive as it is crushing. Their 1991 album "Necroticism – Descanting the Insalubrious" is often hailed as a classic in the genre, showcasing their technical prowess and unrelenting ferocity. But don't let their intense sound fool you – Carcass have a sardonic sense of humour that shines through in their lyrics and stage banter. Their tongue-in-cheek approach to gore and violence sets them apart from their peers and adds an unexpected layer of depth to their music. In recent years, Carcass have continued to push boundaries and defy expectations. Their 2020 album "Torn Arteries" is a testament to their enduring creativity and musical evolution. With tracks that range from blistering speed to haunting melody, Carcass show no signs of slowing down. Whether you're a die-hard metalhead or a casual listener looking to expand your horizons, Carcass are a band that demands attention. Their unique blend of aggression and wit makes them a force to be reckoned with in the world of heavy music. So crank up the volume, brace yourself for impact, and let Carcass take you on a wild, headbanging journey.
