Carcass – Torn Arteries (colored) – VINYL 2LP

Description

When English extreme metal legends and multi-genre pioneers Carcass dropped monumental comeback album Surgical Steel in 2013, it hit like a ton of bricks. Perhaps it partly boiled down to the sheer surprise factor of an unlikely return, combined with the unexpected level of quality after a 17-year gap since signing off with the often maligned Swansong in 1996. Recently in the AMG backrooms, a number of staff weighed in on their stance regarding Surgical Steel some eight or so years after the fact. I was a little surprised by the indifference shared by some, though I am certainly in agreeance the album can’t quite match the two masterpieces Surgical Steel leaned heavily on; Necroticism and Heartwork. Either way, I adored Surgical Steel upon release and it regularly finds its way into my rotation when the mood strikes for a Carcass fix. After less than compelling shorter form releases, consisting of Surgical Steel offcuts, rightfully consigned to B-side status, and solid if unexciting 2020 EP, Despicable, Carcass return with their hugely anticipated seventh LP, Torn Arteries.
