So after the reunion started in Europe, Earache, the record label for Carcass thought it would be a great idea to re-release all of Carcass’s records with dual discs and DVDs. I’m glad they did. It started earlier this year with Necroticism: Descanting The Insalubrious back in may and will be complete with the special edition Symphonies Of Sickness that was just released in Europe and will come to North American stores soon after.

I always liked his ESP Ninja but didn’t care for that Washburn model because …read more

I’ve been contemplating buying this CD for awhile now but I haven’t liked Angela Gassow’s voice in the past, but it’s hard not to listen to when the rest of the music is just filled with pure ass-kickery!
