British extreme metal legends CARCASS release their first studio album since their 1996 LP Swansong TODAY in the UK. The album was produced by Colin Richardson (NAPALM DEATH, BOLT THROWER, GOREFEST, CANNIBAL CORPSE, SINISTER, RODRIGO Y GABRIELA) and mixed/mastered by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ACCEPT, EXODUS, TESTAMENT). Joining guitarist Bill Steer and bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker in the band's current incarnation are new drummer Dan Wilding (ABORTED, TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED) and guitarist Ben Ash (PIG IRON, DESOLATION, LIQUEFIED SKELETON). Expect some guest vocals from original sticksman Ken Owen as well!
We sat Bill and Dan in front of a camera to ask them what track off the new album they feel sums up the present day CARCASS, which you can watch here.
Jeff wasn't so keen on being filmed so he decided to place the severed head on his chair instead. Enjoy!

“We went back to working with Ian Tilton, who is an iconic English photographer famous for working with THE STONE ROSES”, stated frontman Jeff Walker regarding the cover artwork. “He actually did the front cover for Necroticism... as well. We've deliberately tried to evoke the feeling of that album and Heartwork”.
