About this concert
Sans aucun doute, les légendes britanniques CARCASS ont sorti plusieurs albums classiques au fil des ans et ont changé la trajectoire du metal extrême avec chaque sortie consécutive. Que ce soit en inventant le gore-grind (c'est-à-dire « Reek of Putrefaction », « Symphonies of Sickness ») ou en créant le modèle du death metal mélodique (c'est-à-dire « Heartwork »), CARCASS a toujours produit des disques qui ont établi des normes et brisé des règles. À leur mort tragique en 1996, les fans ont pleuré la perte de ce groupe emblématique et ont espéré qu'un jour le groupe serait exhumé de leur tombe prématurée. Après une pause de 18 ans, CARCASS a été pleinement réanimé et il est sûr de dire qu'ils n'ont pas manqué un seul pas pathologique.Avec « Surgical Steel », CARCASS a été à la hauteur de l'occasion et a offert aux fans un album qui rivalise avec leur répertoire classique, livrant une autre étape marquante dans leur carrière hautement influente. Tout ce qu'un fan de CARCASS pourrait désirer se trouve sur cet album, avec chaque époque du groupe représentée. Cependant, sa genèse n’a pas été sans sa part de sang, de sueur et de larmes, bien sûr. Le producteur de longue date Colin Richardson est effectivement parti lors des sessions de mixage après le suivi, probablement épuisé par le stress de devoir surpasser des productions aussi marquantes que « Heartwork ». L'également renommé Andy Sneap (TESTAMENT, EXODUS, MEGADETH) est intervenu à ce moment pour mixer l'album et apporter les touches finales à leur chef-d'œuvre tant attendu. Le résultat est une combinaison de talents qui devrait sans aucun doute rester inégalée pendant une durée indéterminée.À une époque qui semble se contenter de gratter sans fin sur leurs cordes en diverses dénominations rythmiques, CARCASS a ramené la puissance du riff à une génération. Des chansons comme « The Master Butcher’s Apron », « Unfit for Human Consumption », « The Granulating Dark Satanic Mills », « Noncompliance to ASTM F899-12 Standard », sont assurées de devenir des classiques et de mettre une guitare en plastique dans les mains de chaque homme, femme et enfant à portée d'oreille. Seules les coupes les plus choisies ont été faites pour nous offrir un disque digne de l'héritage de CARCASS. En résumé, « Surgical Steel » est exactement ce que le docteur a ordonné.

Tenía muchas ganas de ver tocar a Carcass, y no me defraudaron. Extraordinarios músicos y supieron compensar a los que fuimos a verlos. Tocaron con Brujería, que sorprendieron provocando que les preste atención en el futuro. La otra banda del cartel, Rotten Sound fue una auténtica novedad para mí y sobretodo el sonido de la guitarra, que me encandiló desde la primera nota.

Carcass Biography
Carcass is a grindcore/goregrind/death metal band formed by Napalm Death guitarist Bill Steer together with drummer Ken Owen in 1985. They were based in Liverpool. On their first demo, Sanjiv contributed vocals. In 1987, bassist and vocalist Jeffrey Walker, formerly of the Electro Hippies, joined them. Carcass are considered by many to have been one of the most influential and talented bands within the death music scene.
The band focused on topics mostly relating to the medical field and bizarre combinations of medical equipment and chemicals with human anatomy, such as "Intenacious, intersecting / Reaving fats from corporal griskin [...] Skeletal groats triturated, desinently exsiccated". This lyrical focus led many in the music press to falsely believe that one or more members of the band had studied medicine. There is more evidence to show that this lyrical focus was a method of pushing vegetarianism (For example, "Exhume To Consume"). Typical Carcass song titles from their early work include "Lavaging Expectorate of Lysergide Composition" and "Microwaved Uterogestation."
Having started their career as a goregrind band, Carcass gradually changed their sound and lyrical content. Starting with the album 'Necroticism - Descanting The Insalubrious', the careful listener could hear music-theoretic experimentation beyond the amodal noise of previous work, and even a hint of the harmonic minor scales that would later crystallise more fully. Their best-known album, Heartwork, was largely devoid of the gory lyrics and grind style that had been present on their earlier recordings, with a cleaner, more melodic sound, but retaining occasional forays out of more complex harmonies into atonal grind.
With Carcass having signed to Sony before the release of Heartwork, some fans regarded the evolved sound as proof of the sellout they had expected. In contrast, many were very receptive to what was perceived as a new zenith of talent and composition in death metal, showing a command of motif development and harmony that is underappreciated even within the metal community. In fact, today some credit Carcass with being a very early founding influence for not just one, but two genres of metal - grindcore (or, more specifically, goregrind), and the melodic death metal sound. Michael Amott left the band right after Heartwork was recorded and was for a while replaced by Mike Hickey who was later replaced by Carlo Regadas. Carcass broke up after releasing Swansong, which drew some criticism from fans for its melodic riffs which in some ways bordered on late 1980s thrash.
Ken, Jeff and Carlo continued with the Blackstar project accompanied with former Cathedral bassist Mark Griffiths. Blackstar (Later Blackstar Rising) went defunct after Ken suffered from a severe brain haemorrhage. Michael Amott went on to found hard rocking combo Spiritual Beggars and the melodic death metal band Arch Enemy.. In the biggest musical departure, Bill Steer reappeared in Firebird, a Claptonesque guitar-rock trio.
In June 2006, in an interview with Walker, he discussed the possibility of reforming Carcass. In September 2007 it was confirmed by Michael Amott that he had been rehearsing with Bill Steer, Jeff Walker and Daniel Erlandsson (replacing Ken Owen, who is incapable of playing a full set with Carcass due to health reasons) in secret to rehearse old Carcass songs for a possible reunion tour. The original plans were to play at several festivals during the summer, but they couldn't meet the deadlines.
In October 2007, Carcass were confirmed to play at the 2008 installment of German heavy metal festival Wacken Open Air.
