After years of waiting, SYMPHONIES OF SICKNESS, the second album from British grindcore/death metal legends CARCASS has been reissued and is out now in Europe.
SYMPHONIES OF SICKNESS, CARCASS' breakthrough 1989 album cemented the band's place at the forefront of the emerging grindcore scene, and continued to shock the metal world with its gory imagery. Now available again after years out of print, SYMPHONIES OF SICKNESS is the last of the five CARCASS to be reissued and is out now as a limited edition DualDisc (combined CD and DVD), housed in a deluxe digipak with extra artwork and the original gore artwork inside. It includes 6 previously unreleased bonus tracks, taken from the SYMPHONIES OF SICKNESS demo, along with part 2 of a mini-documentary series entitled THE PATHOLOGIST'S REPORT as bonus video material.
Filmed in London and Liverpool at the end of 2007, the documentary consists of interviews with the members of CARCASS – KEN OWEN, BILL STEER, JEFF WALKER and MICHAEL AMOTT – which, when combined with the other four reissued albums, makes up a two and a half hour documentary examining all eras of the band, from their gore-soaked grind beginnings to the more refined, melodic moments of their later output.
SYMPHONIES OF SICKNESS is available now in Europe from all good music retailers, and can also be purchased from the Earache Records European Webstore at http://www.earacheshop.com/store/carcass.html or from the Earache eBay Store at http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Earache-Records-UK
