Origin: England
Status: Disbanded
One of the standout grindcore/death metal bands of the end of 80's, Carcass gained notoriety for their liberal use of medical terms in their lyrics and song titles (in fact, it was reported by reliable sources that the band members were med students, which wasn't true). Necroticism and Heartwork are most frequently considered the band's best work, delivering brutal death metal with a high degree of musicianship. The band ended on a down note, however, with the release of Swansong -- the move to a more conventional metal sound (akin to mid-period Megadeth in places) alienated many of their fans, and coupled with the circumstances surrounding the record label meddlings and the breakup of the band well before Swansong's release, painted a rather dark cloud over the band. Three of the members went on to form the apparently short-lived Blackstar Rising, while Bill Steer formed a stoner rock band by the name of Firebird. |
