Carcass - Symphonies of Sickness
On their second album, Liverpool's Carcass refining the raw mess of their debut Reek of Putrefaction, also released by Earache Records.
The comically-ridiculous song titles (which legend has it were taken from a medical text book belonging to guitarist Bill Steer's sister) and revoltingly gory subject matter ended up defining the genre of "Goregrind".
'Symphonies of Sickness' spawned a slew of imitators but Carcass themselves were ready move on and on their next album 'Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious' and especially their fourth album 'Heartwork', they did just that - pioneering another metal sub-genre: Melodic Death Metal.
For many fans however, it's their more raw early work that still defines "true" Carcass

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
