Carcass (band)
Carcass are a British extreme metal band from Liverpool, who formed in 1985 and disbanded in 1995. A reunion was enacted in 2007 without one of its original members, drummer Ken Owen, due to health reasons.
Although widely regarded as pioneers of the grindcore genre, their early work was also tagged as splatter death metal, hardgore, and goregrind; on account of their morbid lyrics and gruesome album covers. However, they also became one of the pioneers in the subgenre known as melodic death metal with their 1993 album Heartwork.

“The character of the logger’s admiration is betrayed by his very mode of expressing it.... He admires the log, the carcass or corpse, more than the tree.... What right have you to celebrate the virtues of the man you murdered?”
