Rumors of a Carcass Reunion....

Is this the real McCoy?
Interesting, although I never really got into them. Perhaps if I have a medical dictionary in hand this time around I can properly join in the "descanting of the insalubrious".

It's good that the plan seems to be to not make new music. Carcass was complete shit at the end, everyone's gone on to other things (or nothing), and it would just be a complete disaster to try to make anything else under the name of Carcass.
But I'd show up to see a Carcass cover band made up of... Carcass.

This could be interesting. If it doesn't happen, though, I'll still have the memories of this killer bill...

Har, I remember an interview from '06 where Jeff said they had been talking about doing a reunion (well, mostly Mike Amott had been talking) and that if it didn't happen in '07 it wouldn't happen.
...I hope he's a liar. Carcass was supreme...after they ended I started losing interest in more "extreme" metal, because it became apparent how redundant, uninspired, and generally unlistenable most of it is. Carcass was one of those few bands that actually made it interesting and enjoyable...and the riffs! Can't forget the riffs...

I say the same about most prog and power metal. In every genre there are a few diamonds and a lot of lumps of coal.

Its true, but the fact that death metal and grind by default can be pulled off more easily (while there are plenty of tech-death metal bands, you can also be sloppy as hell and in the UG people will still love you) means there's 10 times the bad bands. Death/Grind also do not have as a prerequisite the ability to put together a melody or a tune...yet there is still a certain something that has to be there for that sort of songwriting to actually be good, and in my opinion that is a hell of alot more scarce than the songwriting abilities of comparable power/prog bands. If a power or prog band can't write a song or can't play, they won't get any traction anywhere, because that is the emphasis in those genres. Now Carcass was a band that, starting around Symphonies of Sickness, actually found a way to make grind musical...after that, they just became better and better. Really ahead of their time...even Swan Song was in a way ahead of the curve in that it was going back to straight heavy metal a few years before it started making a "comeback."
Carcass wasn't the only band like that, but most of those kind of bands that I grew up listening to are gone and/or dead (Death having been my favorite band of youth). There may be some stuff out there that I would still like...but there's too wide a sea of Morbid Angel clones to wade through to find 'em. Plus the "brutality" and the "evil" is taken just way too seriously.
That said, yeah there's quite alot of generic crap out there any way you want to look.

All we need now is an At the Gates Reunion, and have the ultimate billing of Carcass/At The Gates.

I almost had a heart attack when I read this yesterday. Carcass is one of the best bands ever imho.

It still seems alittle weird to even contemplate them without Ken behind the drums. 
As for the mention of very few within the death and grind genre not having alot of technicality, that is one man's opinion and it sure isn't mine. :Smug:

I think Death/Grind can be as hard to play or as technical as any other 'sub-genre' in metal, just because the singer isn't hitting high notes or the guitarists are not running up and down neoclassical passages doesn't mean it inst well played. For examples, check out: Heartwork/Necrotism from Carcass, the last Deicide album, most if not all from Cannibal Corpse, Arch Enemy, etc.etc. Elitism never sits well with me..but I guess we gotta have it
