Pick Only One Album: Carcass

Message Bookmarked

I love Necroticism, I love Reek Of Putrefaction, and they can bury my decaying, pyosisified, fermenting innards with a copy of Heartwork, because it rocks so hard and satisfyingly that I'm stumped as to what could be better when it's playing. But I pick Symphonies Of Sickness for sentimental reasons. No, really, it reminds me of an interesting time in my life and it just happens to be genius as well.
I hesitate to mention it, but I've never heard their first demo and I know that Siegbran will come on here and tell me that it was, BY FAR, the greatest thing they ever did:)

OOPs, wrong board. Ah, fuck it. Leave it here. ILE Carcass fans to thread! (if there are any besides Ned.)

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Eisbar is a fan. He keeps laughing over my reviews of same!

You and Ian Christe both go on about Heartwork, which I had but sold back a long while ago. I guess at the time I didn't think much of it, but perhaps I was wrong?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Thus Eisbar:

Ned, How Did It Come To Pass That You Got to Write TWO Carcass Album Reviews?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Heartwork is amazing to me. And vastly different from the earlier stuff.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:30 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I was sorta comparing it unfavorably to either Main or Godflesh at the time, which was probably doofy of me on both counts.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and for right now, the Reek/Putrefaction CD, obv.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:31 (twenty-one years ago)

BAH. That should have been Reek/Symphonies.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

No, It's definitely a "metal" album, you know.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Heartwork, that is.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

ILE needed a good metal thread.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:33 (twenty-one years ago)

And we'll keep it alive as much as we can!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, what the hell, I'll put it on ILM too.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:34 (twenty-one years ago)

We can talk about our favorite kinds of biscuits too!!!

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:35 (twenty-one years ago)

As this is ILE, I'm going to ask this question:

Is this good music? Or just metal shit?

Don't you have to be a bit of a derr-brain to call your band Carcass?
Why would you want your fans to think of corpses when they say your name? Surely corpses = bad?

― Bumfluff, Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Fave kind of Biscuits: Chuck, of course.

Is this good music?

Of course.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Is "Pernistization of the Constabulous Mystegia" one of their records? I like that one.

― andy, Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

"Surely corpses = bad?"

It depends on whose corpse it is!

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:38 (twenty-one years ago)

You realise I wouldn't dare post any of that on ILM

― Bumfluff, Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Wuss.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Yeah but I like my music to smell good, or funky or whatever

"Reek Of Putrefaction" just doesn't suggest a good time for the old schnozzle

Yes. Yes I am.

Miasmic fungus infests the small intestine
Vitriolic juices burn through the stomach wall
Bursting carcinosis as chylase melts your guts
Crepitating neoplasm erupts with gore...

Maturating boils, the canker emmenagogic
Grume decays to a frothing sludge
Dermatital pustules suppurate with cancer
Caustic sepsis coagulates the blood...

Necrolytic digestion, rancid plasma is released
Automaceration of the carcass incites pyogenesis
Globular tissue decomposed, hydrogen sulphide is evolved
Reek of putrefaction secreted by necrotrophic mould...

Excrete and disgorge the festering pus
As your skin erupts with corrosive decay
Urticaria vents infested sanies
Slime from burst ulcers spurts and sprays...

The innards decompose, putrify to jelly
The dermis ruptures with sialagogic cruor
Green putrified offal explodes with the discharge
Bubbling viscera is splattered over the floor...

Visceral organs infested by rampant hungry larvae
Gnawing tattered giblets as sanies solidifies
Enterisis dissolves the gut, self-digestion is undergone
Autolysis of body tissue, enzymes macerate the bones...
[Solo: smeared organic mess]

...Tumours erupt
...With infestation of grubs
...Ulcerous carrion maturates
...As the bacteria vitiates
...Tumours erupt
...With infestation of grubs
...Effervescing core
...Cankerous corpse

The names for the solos are miniature works of art.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:43 (twenty-one years ago)

They stole my lyrics! The song was about my last-diarrhoea-after-a- curry episode though

― Bumfluff, Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Seriously I'd like to see Ashlee Simpson covering that

― Bumfluff, Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:46 (twenty-one years ago)

FYI: Great site for lyrics:

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I've read some Slayer lyrics. Some pleasantly laughable silliness there.
But the one above's just p152-153 of a degree level biology textbook isn't it?

― Bumfluff, Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:53 (twenty-one years ago)

taking sides: "exhume to consume" on "symphonies" vs. "exhume to consume" on "grindcrusher"?

― el sabor de gene (yournullfame), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 21:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I know it's early yet, but so far the ILE Carcass thread that I started today is waaaaay better than the ILM Carcass thread that I started today.

― scott seward (scott seward), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 22:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Heartwork.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 23:01 (twenty-one years ago)

Necrotism, closely followed by Heartwork.

― Wooden (Wooden), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 23:06 (twenty-one years ago)

Has anyone else noticed how the main riff from "Last Resort" by Papa Roach is directly lifted from the opening riff to the last song on Heartwork ("Death Certificate"? Something like that.)? I mean, it's EXACTLY the same. I was livid when I first heard it.

― Wooden (Wooden), Tuesday, 10 August 2004 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

four years pass...

saw carcass live last sunday, and oh my god what a show. great to see bill steer back shredding and doing what he does best, albeit on a les paul! amazing tight show, and such great hooks even in the 'symphonies...' material.
highlights: 'exhumed to consume', 'incarnated solvent abuse', 'heartwork'
