Corpus in Extremis - Analysing Necrocriticism

BY Greg PrattPublished Apr 2, 2009

These old school Swedish goregrinders have managed to put out two full-lengths in the past three years. Not bad, considering they didn't put out any between 1990 (when they formed) and 2006. But they're making up for lost time, with this mid-era Carcass worship-fest hitting hard, loose, fast and furious. The ultra low-end rumbling of ditties like opener "Necronomics" will please the diehard underground gore purist, while the (slight) musicality and structure of "Virulent Corpus Dispersement" prove that these guys actually know what they're doing, they just prefer not to most of the time, which is just how we like it.
