Man imagine hearing this in 1987 still mind blowing today I couldnt imagine how it was back then

[@ericmoore7413]

I wish

[@thetruthwillout3347]

Jack I was 15 in '87 and was already into Napalm Death but Carcass was on another level. I remember when John Peel had them record a session...brutal!! I still have my original Reek of Putrifaction, Symphonies of Sickness and Peel Sessions LP's. The mid to late eighties certainly was the golden era for grindcore and death metal. Bolt Throwers first album is also pretty brutal.

[@deadbabiesinvomit]

It was really cool. Nobody heard of thrashmetal crossover, nor, grindcore punk. And Death metal didn't have "the deathmetal sound" yet. It separated the posers from the blow in ticket punx. And was very esoteric. As in , not many people "got it". But the ones who did. We developed a new language. You speaka tha ponk? Whip beat, D beat, blastbeat. Fuck all 4/4 , or 3/4 beats. Or very sparingly used. Should I say.

[@psychedelicfright85]

I think this has better sound than Reek of Putrefaction.

[@pazuzuanalog5116]

Yes

[@VambeefcoHorzey]

Definitely. You can just about hear what the instruments are doing, for a start. Famously, "Reek..." was botched by the studio engineer and the band have always detested how it sounds.

[@brentlohr4439]

Agreed

[@deadbabiesinvomit]

Yeah. I thought the same thing.

[@dante666jt]

I agree.

[@JakeRazorClawson]

I prefer this release more than the Reek album, the raw quality suits these tracks perfectly. "Sanjiv" sounds good, and it's always a pleasure to hear Bill, Ken, and Jeff.

both are beautiful! and so is symphonies of sickness 4 me :)

Beyond Thrash Metal, Before Death Metal... they were obviously into fast hardcore punk from the short song structure in their music... and this definitely sounds better than the Reek of Putrefaction Album of 1988... the infancy of grindcore....

[@ILoveDavidLynch]

I agree, clear links to hardcore. Evidently the same with other bigger bands in the genre of the time like napalm death and bolt thrower

[@Truth_Hurts_Bad]

Black Metal is just Hardcore Punk with shitty attitude, ideals & fashion. Death Metal? I'd have to agree, but I think more Goregrind acts were directly influenced. Chris Barnes said "Grindcore is more on the Punk side of things, we're DEATH METAL". Citing a stark contrast between Grind & Death Metal. These days, lines are more blurred, which is good.

[@ericmoore7413]

I just heard the early Carcass interview. They said "Death Metal" died in 1987. I was like, "whuh?" But i think dr smarty pants has a point.
