"Carcass are an English extreme metal band from Liverpool that was formed in 1986. They are regarded as pioneers of the goregrind genre. Their early work was also tagged as "splatter death metal" and "hardgore" on account of their morbid lyrics and gruesome album covers. Their fourth album, Heartwork (1993), is considered a landmark in the melodic death metal genre. Carcass were also one of the few death metal acts to sign to a major label, with Columbia Records handling North American distribution for Heartwork, while the album was distributed worldwide by Earache who released all of the band's albums up to and including Swansong (1996)." - Wikipedia quote.

My name is Kaiya! I'm in my mid 20's and I've been a singer songwriter and performer for over 10 years. Currently I'm in 3 bands and gigging around in Asheville, NC where I live. I have 2 dogs, a Bloodhound named Spooner, a Norwegian Elkhound named Kodah and 3 pet rats, Havarti, Dumbletan, and TimTam. I love mexican food, Stephen King, collecting CD's and cassettes and my favorite movies are tied with Jurrassic Park and Alien.

Loved Carcass since 1989 - Necroticism is my favourite album of all time !

[@davidkoblentz]

a world changing album imo... like paradise lost "gothic" an my dying bride "swans" ...

[@attentathumanum2265]

Heartwork.......most iconic. but tastes are diffrent

[@chainsawdism]

Necroticism and Heartwork are masterpieces.my favourite álbum is Necroticism.

[@Eirath]

I was never that much into Reek and Symphonies, but when they released Necroticism I was completely blewn away. One of my top 10 metal albums of all time.

The evolution of Ken's drumming always knocks my socks off. Imagine how far he could have gone if he'd not got unwell.

[@Crowbar11115]

Ken is one of my all time favorite drummers. His playing is so heavy yet catchy. I had non-musician friends who could air drum tracks from Heartwork because the parts are just so damn memorable.

[@Freeskiingisdabest]

What happened to Ken? Great drummer indeed!

[@gonzorudeboy]

[@Freeskiingisdabest]

@@gonzorudeboy damn :/

[@danielprudhoe647]

@@Freeskiingisdabest Yeah my dads brother used to be friends with him when they were kids, Ken attended my uncles funeral 2 years ago and obvs the cerebral hemorrhage has taken its toll, fortunately he can still walk but does sometimes require aid, not really able to drum anymore unfortunately but at least Jeff and Bill still keep him involved in the band to some extent

[@jamescook4435]

'Heartwork' was the album that got me into the heavier side of metal in the mid 90s. It's an absolute masterpiece.

[@JuanTheDjent]

One of the greatest and most under-rated metal bands. Necroticism is one of my fave albums of all time.

[@rippingdeath666]

Under rated? What kind of bs is that

[@shoujahatsumetsu]

Carcass weren't underrated at all in their days, they were seen as the Gods of Grindcore, along with Napalm Death

[@bluecollardave6370]

One of my favorite albums too

[@elchicharron9503]

Necroticism is one of the greatest albums of all time. Unfortunately I couldn't bring myself to listen to much of what they did after that, it was all so disappointing.

[@butchvito]

If a band isn't Metallica or Maiden, according to mark-asses they're "underrated." When people overuse that term calling hundreds of bands underrated the term loses its meaning. Carcass are one of the most influential bands in all of extreme metal. They went from grindcore then later laid the foundation of what became 'melodeath' with Heartwork.

[@marksmith1428]

Symphonies is STILL the single greatest extreme metal of all time. I was fortunate enough to see them in 90 for Symphonies with Death and Pestilence. Never heard of Carcass before and it changed EVERYTHING for me.

[@ruilacas184]

Heartwork is my favourite Carcass album, and one of my all time favourites! It's so cool to see your path since you started with Cannibal corpse, and the way it started to get into you. Your a true metalhead, as hardcore as they come, proud of you:)

[@dmphax]

Oh HELL yes girl!! I cannot wait! Been a fan for literally 30 some years. Top 5 favourite band of mine.

[@RussFerri]

Me too!!!

[@JuanTheDjent]

Same. Fantastic band. Saw them at the Jericho Tavern in Oxford and after the set they just went straight to the bar. Quality.

[@tommanserable]

I love the way that you are almost disgusted by the sheer perfection of the end of the Sanguine article. Perfect reaction to metallic perfection.

[@menacegtr]

By the time Heartwork arrives, this lady is properly introduced to Carcass, We all still love you Ken, missed but never forgotten

[@danielprudhoe647]

You do know he’s still alive right? 😅

[@menacegtr]

@@danielprudhoe647 Well yea, I should have said missed as a current band member, my bad

hehe I have a big descanting the insalubrious banner in my bedroom. love these guys

[@danipino3566]

"You learn something new every day when you listen to metal" lol... love your reaction! Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷🤘

[@AlexTheCynic]

The album Heartwork is a fucking masterpiece!

[@odell4625]

LMAO!!!! Saw these guys with Pestilence and Death in Denver back in '90. Still stands as one of the best concerts I ever went to. Still listen to Symphonies of Sickness to this day. Always thought the whole album was what you'd get if you combined a medical dictionary with a Fangoria magazine and then converted it into music. If you do nothing further with Carcass, you should binge the whole Symphonies of Sickness album. It is legendary.

[@marksmith1428]

1000%. Fucking MASTERPIECE. Saw the same tour in Oakland.

[@jondoe4513]

That I never got to see Chuck is the biggest regret I have and that will probably be the same on my death bed.

[@aaronbevinsnerdcentral]

So killer, I love Carcass so much...all the eras are great and spawned lots of multiple genres. So glad they returned to the scene ❤❤

[@Concatenate]

Hi Kaiya, you're the realest reactor ever. Carcass is one of my all time favorite bands.

[@maurimau7373]

Mike Amott and Bill Steer were fire on those guitars, glad you enjoyed Heartwork and Corporal! Keep on rockin', Kaiya 🤘

[@solarandlogical1]

Arguably one of the best death metal bands of all time. Symphonies of Sickness is a classic. Love your recognition and appreciation of this great band. Also kudos for taking a dive into the lyrics. Back in highschool my friends and I used to joke around and come up with our own Carcass-esque lyrics. Trying to be as sick, silly, and vulgar as we could. I saw Carcass play with Death and Pestilence. Carcass and Pestilence were amazing. Death played about a song and a half until someone threw a cup of beer at Chuck. Then he got pissed, stormed off stage, and never came back.

[@tomosian3655]

Saw Carcass live this year. Amazing show, let me tell you. These guys are simply fun to listen to, and I had a blast breaking my neck to those chunky riffs.

[@LauraSquirrel]

Bill Steer is the reason why I picked up the guitar as a 14 year old in 1991. CARCASS RULES!!

[@AndrewBrown-fq6vp]

My favorite two songs of theirs are " Exhume to Consume" and "Keep on Rotting in the Free World". Love your channel!

[@Craunopolis]

Carcass has been my favorite band for well over 30+ years. I've been fortunate enough to have seen them live 7 times and I hope I get to see them again soon. I highly recommend going to see them live if you ever get the chance. 🤘🏻

[@Goryptor]

Words can't describe how amazing Heartwork is. It's a luxurious, delicious piece of extreme, yet melodic metal.

[@coldacre]

Words can't describe how amazing Symphonies Of Sickness is. It's a luxurious, delicious piece of enticing, yet disgusting grindcore.

[@steelerfan1933]

Thanks for doing this. Carcass is my favorite band. Absolutely love them!

[@traviscue2099]

I remember my guitar teacher giving me the Heartwork album as a kid, opened my mind to Melodic Death metal. Although learning the title track was damn hard at 13.

[@Crowbar11115]

I took Heartwork to a teacher for my first lesson when I was about 14. He asked me how I learned the the majority of the song by ear. He was actually pissed because he couldn't play along. I just wanted to understand how scales and harmonization worked and he got all kinds of butthurt that a kid could play faster and cleaner than he could. After 2 lessons I opted to just stay on my own path, Haha. Sounds like you had a great teacher!

[@tubelious]

awesome teacher, man.

[@belindajm5289]

That heartwork commentary is spot on. The middle of heartwork is fucking excellent

[@dmphax]

Great song choices for a 1st time reaction to Carcass, well selected! Can't wait for part 2 with Swansong, Surgical Steel, Torn Arteries. While Necroticism is my favourite album, my favourite song may be "Unfit For Human Consumption" from Surgical Steel.

[@Lord_Dranek]

Carcass Fuck Yeah!!! horns up! \m/ . These guys are the Grandfathers of Melodic Death.

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

Carcass is a band that is somewhat hard to really contextualize without understanding what the scene was like when they first appeared. What they did was so extreme, especially visually that it was an absolute smack in the face even within the perimeters of extreme metal. They garnered a lot of fans initially for that extremity, even though the music was somewhat subpar by the contemporary standards at the time. But they got on board and practiced their asses off and got very good very fast. So that by the time "Necrotism" hit the shelves, they were a grind machine, with all the components coming together to make Carcass truly legendary.

[@travisspaulding2222]

I always felt that Necrotism was the perfect bridge between their grindcore albums and their melodic death metal albums. It was brutal as fuck, but you could tell they were starting to get more of a sense of melody. It's a lot of people's favorite Carcass album, and I think that is why, plus the fact that a lot of us die hards, it was the first album we heard by them. It was for me anyways, lol.

[@charlifinnie2712]

Agreed, I felt the same when I listened to Cannibal Corpes. Just the visual aspects and topic are overwhelming and wonderful.

[@MARSHOMEWORLD]

@@charlifinnie2712 yeah, right there with you. When I saw CC's "Eaten Back To Life" in the record store I had to buy it. And in truth I just giggled like an idiot for about an hour during that first listen, the music was solid but the Over the Top lyrics and visual just had me in stitches. Interestingly enough, I remember exactly the day I bought that record because I went up to the register with that album, a copy of Annihilator's " Never Neverland", and Queen Latifah's " Ladies First", and the Digital Dnderground's "Sex Packets" album. Suffice to say, the guy at the register had a hard time processing my somewhat crazy diverse collection.

[@charlifinnie2712]

@@MARSHOMEWORLD Hey man, diversity makes the world a better place.

[@danielprudhoe647]

@@travisspaulding2222 If you lived in the UK and followed BBC DJ John Peel you’d have known them since the release of Reek of Putrefaction…..Peel did A LOT to promote them in the early years. Was weird hearing bands like Carcass and Napalm Death on mainstream radio…..RIP John Peel you absolute legend.

[@bryandaniel2856]

Bill Steer the guitarist, also played on the first two Napalm Death albums.

[@davidwatts1295]

I saw them on that tour, but I was in the PIT the entire time. I came out with a black eye and bruises all over my body. One of the most fun I had at any concert

[@macPles]

So awesome to see someone react to Carcass. Such an underated band. Grew up listening to them and one of the all time best. Loved your reaction 🤘

[@zfgdun]

Haha! Glad you enjoyed this ride. Carcass is very underated

[@Catweazel1976]

Awesome Carcass reaction! I've loved these guys since 91, and I was lucky enough to see Carcass live in Melbourne Australia in 93! They were so good, and they played everything off of Necroticism and Heartwork.🤘

[@lieuwesijtsma8677]

Carcass one of my favourites since the eighties. I would strongly recommend Autopsy, especially Mental Funeral and Severed Survival. If you're into death metal with a groove and sick vibe, these are the godfathers of gore. You won't be disappointed, after that Impetigo would be a great follow up.

[@jeremyhassell7911]

Been binging on Surgical Steel lately, Master Butchers Apron 🔥

[@zachariahodell580]

You really need to do a Part 2 for Carcass as their new albums are also awesome. Surgical Steel could be my favorite album from them.

[@mercurydylan899]

Classic grind and death metal band. If you lived this you may love Bolt Thrower.

[@felixandersson4710]

I saw them live when on the Symphonies of sickness tour and it was WILD

[@JoshJPPepper]

Carcass is the best...ive seen & met & chilled with them a handful of times

[@bac0n406]

Heartwork is a FCKN masterpiece of tempo, brutality and melody. The first time i heard it, i knew that metal was the way.

[@ryantherusskie]

The correct reaction to hearing Heartwork for the first time is “YESSSSSSS DELICIOUS”

[@jonahsilva4428]

I love this band. Great video and reactions by the way 🤣

[@coldacre]

Symphonies is 10 times better

[@luko.royale]

I really love that you love Heartwork - for me one of the best Metal-Albums ever!

[@JadeDude1973]

Glad you're digging that classic Carcass multi-level vocal attack. Bill Steer (Guitar) did the OOOO-OO-OOOO vocals and Jeff Walker (Bass) did the AHHR-GHRR-AHHGGRR vocals. That allowed them to do the call-and-response stuff like in Forensic Clinicism/The Sanguine Article. On later albums, Jeff did pretty much all the vocals.

[@deathwatchchuck]

You've done better with the lyrics than I did the first time!

[@josedias1387]

Carcass is just one of the biggest and important metal bands of all times.

[@megadestructo]

[@AS-bu9rw]

Symphonies of sickness is a masterpiece

[@the80sliveagain63]

The first song is my favorite from carcass and probably my favorite carcass song of all time. And that’s a big statement. Because they have so many brilliant songs it’s nearly impossible to determine which is the best.

[@BreakingSerenity1]

Can’t wait 🔥🎶

[@MereMortal_veloso]

I’m actually moved by your reaction, this is after all the most important band in my life. Seeing you almost driven to tears on Heartwork almost made me well up too. I’m glad I found this channel, you’re very candid and genuine. Lovely stuff ❤

[@user-cy1jj4gi8n]

Their album “Heartwork” was the full transition of carcass into being more thrash metal. It was a very polarizing album but it was a landmark moment especially with Sepultura releasing “Arise” and “Chaos AD” around that timeframe transitioning their sound into more tribal elements that led to the one of the most important metal albums of 90’s with the “Roots” album. Out of all those albums….what it started was the Swedish Melodic Metal, or also known as “The Gothenburg Sound”. That sound ties directly back to those records by Carcass and Sepultura. It spawned In Flames, Opeth, Nightwish, Soilwork, and Arch Enemy….with Archenemy forming out of the ashes of Carcass

[@bubblebobble6406]

The best metal band ever, and I get to see them live again in just over a weeks time. 5th time seeing them live because they are so damn good.

[@greendav]

Going to see them in October. Can't wait!

[@shoujahatsumetsu]

I saw them live in 2008 or 2009, they were introduced as the second most famous quartet from Liverpool (the most famous, of course, being Beatles)

[@ResurrectionDreams]

Yes, I'm excited for this!

[@TerryNutkins3]

Attempting to read, pronounce and understand the lyrics of Carcass’s songs is part of their appeal

[@squashedeyeball]

Corporeal Jigsore Quandary and Heatwork included, I can't breathe out and relax :) Will catch up as fast as I can! I love the background you chose btw. What majesty this place must have had, if it real. Throws me to Discworld a bit. 26:28 You're a legend. It is a fact!

[@ryklatortuga4146]

Album cover for Heartwork was a sculpture done by H.R.Gieger - the Swiss chap who did the Necronomicon (art book) which inspired the whole xenomorph theme and the organic art style for the film ALIEN. - but you knew that - still I like to think when Ash is dissecting the facehugger - he had previously been listening to some choice cuts of Carcass as he pokes and prods the little critter. "You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? A perfect organism. Its structural perfection is matched only by its hostility. And Bill Steer on guitars - sublime."

[@keeperofknowledge4120]

Seeing Carcass this November!

[@anthonysuski9248]

Bill Steer the guitarist with the low vokillz played guitar in Napalm Death as well!!! 😎 👍

[@wesleyb1458]

Oh this is a big one! What song are we doing?!?

[@morbidgirl6808]

I love how you're reading those lyrics, and I'm unable to pronounce most of these "big words" even as a non-dyslexic person 😅 Heartwork's songwriting is really interesting to me as a former Eng Lit student. I definitely can see some shakespearen-esque tonality in this mortal coil, especially in poetic structures of songwriting. Carcass was influential for grindcore which is noticable in their earlier albums such as reek of putrefaction and symphonies of sickness. They kind of shifted to more of melodic side of death metal which is also beautiful. I'm glad you reacted to this band. It's one of my favorite bands as well.

[@TerryNutkins3]

I love the completely inappropriate McDonald’s ad under the lyrics 🤣🤣🤣

[@jondoe4513]

I've loved Carcass for thirty years, watching your joy discovering them for the first time makes me happy. There aren't many bands that can lay claim to a seminal record in two subgenres of metal but Carcass can definitely do that for goregrind and melodeath. Frist time listener, definitely going to check out the Sepultura one I see on the side next.

[@travisspaulding2222]

The Heartwork album changed metal, and there are so many metalheads that don't know it. Besides being one of the defining albums of melodic death metal, they also changed guitar tone forever. Heartwork was one of the first extreme metal albums to use the Peavey 5150/Mesa V30 cabinet combinations, and the guitar tone they captured is still heavily copied today, even if they don't know that they are copying them.

[@TataWiktor]

Heartwork album has always reminded me of the Kreator

[@chainsawdism]

El final de Forensic clinicism es una obra de arte ❤.

[@BrendanDormanMMA]

I reacted the first time I heard 'Heartwork' too, and I never liked Death Metal prior. Me and the guys from Shadows Fall and Killswitch ENgage saw them at our local club (Pearl St. Northampton) in the late 90's, touring this album. Astonishing live....just amazing. Great work, subbed.

[@andreasnordin9023]

Really like your videos. Thanks.

[@godetonter4764]

They became Death Metal on Necroticism . And Melodic Death Metal on Heartwork. The first 2 albums are considered Gore Grind, but they definitely sound more like Death Metal than Grindcore to me. Reak of Putrefaction is Death Metal with short songs and rough quality recording.

[@Billy-bd2oe]

Yeah The Heartwork Album is the monumental defining record of extreme metal, it set the bar for everything else to come after 1993... Carcass is my favorite band ever, saw them on the Heartwor tour twice, they put me on the guest list for several shows, great guys =)

Seen them live a few times since the reunion, their latest shows are so tight and filled with teasers and mashups of single songs, after a 1 hour show you have the feeling you just listened to 2 hours of material, it's great. Also, my personal favorites are nearly all in the set (which can't be said for soo many bands), so go see them live, it's great!

[@HowardSternClips]

Mighty Carcass! Necrotism is one of the best heavy albums of all time. It is amazing.

[@monkeytube138]

The Heartwork riff is one of the best riffs in metal. Period.

[@maggymaggy1080]

Carcass is a pure legends of metal for me! Once having heard their unique sound, I could not calm down until I listened to the entire album. And I was just delighted with their arrangements, brilliant riffs, full-fledged drums.I have always been impressed by solos in songs, each guitar tells its own sensual story and it's just amazing! Thanks for your review, that's exactly how I felt when I first heard this incredible band! I recommend reviewing the album Necroticism, a true relic🤙 My favorite riff in the song Genital Grinder, yes it is simple and short, but it is in my heart from the very first seconds of acquaintance. Jig-Ai - Genital Grinder (Carcass cover) tribute to the legends🤙Hello to everyone whose feets start to beat the bass drum while listening to the band🤭🤙
