Background information über 'Reek Of Putrefaction'

"Reek of Putrefaction" stands as one of the most pivotal and uncompromising debuts in extreme metal history. Originally unleashed in 1988, this grotesque masterpiece from Liverpool's Carcass essentially birthed the goregrind subgenre while laying crucial groundwork for what would become modern death metal. The album's 22 tracks of medical horror and anatomical obsession created a template that countless bands would follow, combining the blistering speed of grindcore with the crushing heaviness of death metal in ways that had never been attempted before.

What makes this record so essential isn't just its historical significance - it's the sheer audacity and innovation Carcass displayed in crafting such an unrelentingly brutal yet surprisingly sophisticated piece of work. The band's use of medical textbooks for lyrical inspiration and their pioneering approach to extreme vocals created something that was simultaneously repulsive and fascinating. Tracks like "Genital Grinder" and "Carbonized Eyesockets" showcase the band's ability to merge shocking imagery with genuinely compelling songwriting, proving that extremity and musicality weren't mutually exclusive concepts.

For fans of:
Napalm Death, Repulsion, Terrorizer, Bolt Thrower, and Entombed
