About Me

!!!!Trailer from ’The Pathologist’s Report’ DVD!!!Carcass's first album, Reek of Putrefaction, bore similarities to Steer's work with Napalm Death. Grindcore was fused with death metal on the next release, Symphonies of Sickness, which featured longer songs with more slow passages and guitar solos. Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious showed even more intricate composition, as well as the addition of second lead guitarist Michael Ammott. Heartwork, considered a radical change by many fans, eliminated Steer's deeper vocals and the clinically gory lyrics.After the release of Heartwork, Carcass received a worldwide deal with Columbia Records, who hoped for a commercial success, even suggesting that Jeff Walker learn how to sing. Fan reaction was split between the charge that Carcass were no longer playing death metal at all and appreciation of the technical accomplishment the album shows. In fact, today some credit Carcass with being a very early founding influence for not just one, but two genres of metal - grindcore (or, more specifically, goregrind), and the melodic death metal sound. Michael Amott left the band right after Heartwork was recorded and was for a while replaced by Mike Hickey who was later replaced by Carlo Regadas. Carcass broke up after releasing Swansong, which drew some criticism from fans for its melodic riffs which in some ways bordered on late 1980s thrash. Their last album also incorporated some melodic elements (Tomorrow Belongs to Nobody) and some doom metal elements (Don't Believe a Word) which almost completed the Carcass circle of being one of the most inventive metal bands.Ken, Jeff and Carlo continued with the Blackstar project accompanied with former Cathedral bassist Mark Griffiths. Blackstar (Later Blackstar Rising) went defunct after Ken suffered from a severe brain haemorrhage. Michael Amott went on to found hard rocking combo Spiritual Beggars and Arch Enemy, a successful Swedish death metal band. In the biggest musical departure, Bill Steer reappeared in Firebird, a Claptonesque guitar-rock trio.In June 2006, in an interview with Walker, he discussed the possibility of reforming Carcass, but it is unlikely that Steer will participate.In a recent interview on the subject of reunion Steer said "It's a possibility 'cos it's been discussed. I've become a little bit more open to the idea. The other guys are definitely open to the idea. You never know."!!!THIS IS A PROFILE THAT I MADE JUST FOR FUN AND FOR GIVE SOME LIFE TO CARCASS THIS IS NOT AN OFFICIAL PROFILE.. ITS JUST A FAN MADE PROFILE!!!!!
