A cornerstone of extreme music, ‘Symphonies of Sickness’ captures Carcass at their most visceral, unhinged, and genre-defining. Originally released in 1989, the album solidified the band’s place as pioneers of death metal and grindcore—melding hyper-distorted riffs, gore-soaked concepts, and medical horror into a sound that was both shocking and groundbreaking. Pushing boundaries in every direction, Carcass blended surgical precision with raw chaos, crafting songs that felt like soundtracks to anatomical nightmares. This new full dynamic range vinyl edition restores the record’s original intensity with renewed clarity and impact, allowing every blast, guttural phrase, and grotesque detail to hit with full force.

What sets ‘Symphonies of Sickness’ apart is its seamless collision of grindcore extremity and emerging death metal sophistication. Tracks like “Reek of Putrefaction,” “Exhume to Consume,” and “Embryonic Necropsy and Devourment” show the band expanding their structures, sharpening their musicianship, and refining the grotesque aesthetic that would influence generations of extreme metal. Still touring and celebrated to this day, Carcass remain one of the genre’s most important innovators, and this album stands as a key document of their evolution—ferocious, uncompromising, and essential for any fan of extreme music’s origins.
