RIFF058 - Carcass - Heartwork

This week, we sharpen our scalpels and wade into Heartwork by Carcass. Expect a forensic examination of melodic death metal’s most clinical album: guitars get dissected, solos catalogued, and lyrics scrutinised under a microscope. We probe the transition from grind to groove, speculate on the true pH of Liverpool water, and ponder if this is the only metal album fit for display in the Tate Modern.

No medical degrees required, but a strong stomach is advised. Leave your meat metaphors at the door and join us as we contemplate the anatomy of a classic—one melody at a time.
