(May 2025) Episode 650 is CARCASS. An extreme metal band from Liverpool that influenced grindcore and melodic death metal. Their early (late 80s/early 90s) albums are punishing affairs (the best in my opinion), cultivating a certain image with song titles like “Vomited Anal Tract,” “Mucopurulence Excretor,” “Crepitating Bowel Erosion” and “Embryonic Necropsy and Devourment.” They reunited in the 2000s for a couple decent but not distinguished albums.
Favourite album: Symphonies of Sickness
Favourite song: Corporal Jigsore Quandry
Compared to expectations: same
Recommendation: The first three albums: Reek of Putrefaction, Symphonies of Sickness and Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious.
