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.

Famous quotes containing the word carcass:
“I am sure my bones would not rest in an English grave, or my clay mix with the earth of that country. I believe the thought would drive me mad on my death-bed could I suppose that any of my friends would be base enough to convey my carcass back to her soil. I would not even feed her worms if I could help it.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
