Legendary extreme metallers Carcass make an explosive comeback with the ruthless grooves and the blood splattered themes of the brand new full length “Torn Arteries”.
The title track sounds like a bloody assault as the aggressive guitar riffs unleash a ferocious death metal flair following vicious rhythmic dynamics yet the stylish melodic accents and the wild technical leads will add diversity.
“Dance of Ixtab (Psychopomp & Circumstance March No. 1 in B)” begins with a slower darkened tempo and gradually builds a rhythmic tension with the massive drum blasts and the untamed riffage ultimately leading to an excellent melodic tinged guitar solo.
“The Devil Rides Out” is a super groovy track fueled by the horror vibes of the lyrics and the death’n’roll approach featuring a great combo of memorable guitar riffs and mournful melodic leads.
On “Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment Limited” a soulful acoustic piece introduces a monolithic rhythmic section as the savage drums and the blistering riffs just seem unstoppable until the charismatic guitar work delivers captivating gloomy melodic passages.
“Wake up and Smell the Carcass / Caveat Emptor” offers another round of big vitriolic riffs enhanced by caustic growls keeping alive a classic death metal mood while the guitar work continues to shine for the elaborate melodic licks.
For the grand finale “The Scythe’s Remorseless Swing” brings a comforting dark atmosphere emphasized by tasteful guitar leads yet the rhythmic section will soon acquire speed & fury delivering savage grooves.
Filled with gory themes, complex melodies and insane riffs “Torn Arteries” certainly cannot go unnoticed as Carcass celebrate their mighty legacy and the glory of death metal but also dare to explore modern musical territories.
