Wasn't Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment the mythical demo with Sanjiv? - Dysfunktion 21:53, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I have the demo on MP3, and from what i read Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment has sanjiv on it. Darksteel 16:26, 9 September 2006 (UTC)


They're not. Jerr
True, though I'm sure that's particularly relevant for the article... so many metal bands have recorded anti-Christian tracks that it's almost par for the course. They're certainly not Satanic though! Blackmetalbaz (talk) 17:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Melidic Death???

I really argue about considering two latest albums as melodic death. I find it more close to thrash, a huge parallel with Kreator's Coma Of Souls and Megadeth! (Nitrofest 15:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC))


I agree; Swansong undeniably thrash, and Heartwork somewhere inbetween. I feel Necroticism is more melodic death than any later albums. With the thrashy influences included, it could all *almost* be categorized under Grindcore, thought that wouldn't be very specific, but thats what album specific genres are for... Then again, the 'core' part ... Doesn't seen right to me. - LedTony 12:07, 14 Jan 2007 (GMT .. i think)

Heartwork is most definitely a Melodic Death Metal album, 100%. It practically defined the genre. Docbp87 23:42, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Swansong is thrash, in my opinion, and Heartwork Melodic Death. 190.49.151.18 22:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC)Gabriel190.49.151.18 22:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Necroticism song titles

My friend asked me to paste the following comments, as he doesn't want his IP address plastered on the internet: "I've been wondering for a while about the Incarnate{d} Solvent Abuse and Corpor{e}al Jigsore Quandary issue, and I just noticed ...Lysergide Compos{i}tion - and got very annoyed, it seems so obvious now... anyway, I really want to see some reliable sources from the band or something bout the correct names of the songs. Cheers if you can help, I'll keep checking up on this page" Iaberis 12:49, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Many grammar/syntax errors

Who wrote this? It is rife with syntax and usage errors--"uncapable in his actual state"--What? "on" festival shows? It's not possible to play "on" "festival shows". I'm guessing a non-native English speaker wrote much of this (possibly Slavic, judging from the "actual" and "on festival shows").Sladek 20:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DisAttack and Sanjiv

would it be worth mentioning that the Drop A Bomb... Demo was recorded as DisAttack with the only member we would recognize being Bill Steer?

Also is there any evidence of who Sanjiv is? On the DisAttack stuff the vocalist was Pek.

[edit] New Album

Jeff stated that they wouldn't be making a new album. I can try and dig out a source if you like? Blackmetalbaz (talk) 17:38, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] About this article's introduction...

  • "Carcass are a British band formed by Napalm Death guitarist Bill Steer together with drummer Ken Owen in 1985".

Bill Steer was in Carcass before he was invited to join Napalm Death, and he only played with ND for a couple of years. Carcass has always been Steer's main band. I think the Napalm Death information should featured on the "History" section, not on this article's introduction. It gives too much emphasis on ND (not that they don't deserve it).

  • "They are based in Liverpool. In 1987, bassist and vocalist Jeff Walker, formerly of the Electro Hippies, joined them, who grew up in the North East of England."

Too much information. Should be put on the "History" section. The "based in Liverpool", though, could be re-written for the intro.

Some tidbit of them being #8 best-selling death metal band in the United States could be added. According to a November 17th 2003 Soundscan report, they've sold 220,734 copies so far in the US [1].

[edit] Carcass Clones

Another section could be included presenting an interesting phenomena - Carcass clones [2]. Musicaindustrial (talk) 19:41, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, go for it. I'd stick it under an 'Influence' section, and maybe include stuff like the influence of Heartwork on melodic death metal and the like. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 21:06, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
I've found another - Wes Borland (ex-guitar player for Limp Bizkit) is a Carcass fan.
Here's the references for this bit of information:
  • Appleford, Steve (1998). The family that plays together. Guitar, 15(12): 40-42, 45-46, 49-50, 53-54, 57.
  • Appleford 1998, page 54.

According to to the AOL Music site, Slipknot is also influenced by Carcass [3].
And another weird one - Cronos of Venom loves Symphonies of Sickness [4].

[edit] Check out the reunion section of this article.

I am posting here to talk about the section below.

Carcass Reunion Tour Dates:

I don't think posting the tour dates on wikipedia is very encyclopedia. Since the aim of wikipedia is to be encyclopedic, I don't think posting the tour dates is going to help that. Someone respond to me about this please. Thanks. BTC 03:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

I agree with you. Maybe a couple of these (the most important) festivals could be cited, just in case. Musicaindustrial (talk) 10:59, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Okay, that's cool. Yeah, I'll probably work on that, since you agree with me. Thanks for agreeing with me. BTC 02:41, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
