The UK grindcore act's second opus after the sphincter rotting 'Reek Of...' debut, 'Symphonies...' is a gurgling, festering mess from Earache Records, bound to have you salivating, and vomiting,, and that's just the cover art work.Carcass gave birth to the hideous gore metal scene where hordes of deranged bands attempted to produce the most sickening lyrics known to man, but Carcass were the leaders of the vile pack, lyrically they were demented pioneers, belching out words from medical dictionaries that somehow slopped around inside some tumorous cacophony that sounded like the very bowels of Hell being stirred.
This is death metal I guess, but with a huge degree of sludge, gore and depraved matter, at times combining a gurgling, garbled groove with undecipherable babbling, mid-tempo vomiting to speedier guffaw, still mesmerising all the same, and fortunately bereft of any of the cheesiness that saturated bands such as Cannibal Corpse. Carcass are true splatter and music for serial murderers everywhere. Warning, the cover art may put you off your dinner!
7/10
