Carcass is a British death metal band from Liverpool, formed in 1985 by Bill Steer, Ken Owen, and Jeff Walker. A pioneering force in both grindcore and melodic death metal, Carcass first made waves with their raw and uncompromising early albums such as Reek of Putrefaction (1988) and Symphonies of Sickness (1989), infamous for their visceral sound and shocking medical imagery.

In 1993, the band reached a turning point with Heartwork — a landmark record that fused melodic precision with ferocious intensity, laying the groundwork for modern melodic death metal. Following a hiatus after 1996, Carcass reformed in 2007 and returned stronger than ever with acclaimed albums like Surgical Steel (2013) and Torn Arteries (2021), reaffirming their legendary status.

Led by Jeff Walker (bass, vocals) and Bill Steer (guitar), Carcass continues to embody the perfect balance between aggression, technical mastery, and morbid elegance — a blend that defines their unique legacy.
