Carcass

Carcass is an English death metal band hailing from Liverpool, established in 1985. Over the years, the band has experienced several changes in its lineup, with guitarist Bill Steer and bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker being the consistent members. After disbanding in 1996, they regrouped in 2007. To date, Carcass has released six studio albums, two compilation albums, four EPs, two demo albums, one video album, and six music videos. Carcass is recognized as pioneers in the grindcore genre. Their early work was also associated with tags like "splatter death metal" and "hardgore," owing to their macabre lyrics and gruesome album covers. Moreover, their 1993 album Heartwork contributed to their status as pioneers of melodic death metal. The band frequently explores animal rights issues in their lyrics, and some members follow vegetarian or vegan lifestyles.
