Despicable

Carcass

Polished extreme metal with a surgical edge. A tight collection of groove-heavy melodic death metal featuring bluesy solos and a cynical, biting wit.

It's like a surgical procedure performed by a classic rock fan with a mean streak.

A calculated, sharp-edged aggression tempered by sophisticated melodic hooks and dark wit.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the eerie, slow-burn intro into the galloping main riff of track 1.
The classic rock-inspired twin guitar harmonies that elevate the bridge of track 2.
The surprisingly groovy, almost swing-like drum beat that anchors the mid-section of track 4.
