Carcass are a band whom need no real introduction. Either you know of them or your stuck somewhere in the newest generation of metalcore/post-metal scene. Thankfully I am a little more knowledgeable to what the band has done.
What does Surgical Steel offer? It's modern day Carcass without any new avenues of exploration. What you get is more vicious grindcore metal. The only drawback I have with this record is that you could place it side by side with older records and you can listen for similarities of theme, composition, and riffage.
I suppose having this version is better than no version of Carcass. The issue I have with the new record is the long 17 year gap. They don't even have all original members. That is okay because of the players aren't in the same head space in regards to aggressive music.
I do enjoy their signature sound, and that the record has very good meat to it. Yet, Surgical Steel won't retain much of repeated listens for me. But for the average fan who's been chomping at the bit to hear new stuff, this is more for you. Thanks for reading.
