Ferocious and uncompromising in their execution, Carcass's ability to intricately dissect the innards of death metal, and display them for us to sonically understand has been their point of excellence for over three decades. Last December (2019) the band released their first single in over 5 years "Under The Scalpel Blade," followed by a 4 song EP entitled Despicable (October 2020), setting a potent precedent for the full length album to come in 2021: 'Torn Arteries'. With the album title itself referencing an old demo created by original drummer Ken Own back in the 80's, 'Torn Arteries' sits as a bookend on the modern side of the Carcass discography, connecting directly back to where everything began over 30 years ago.
