5.0 out of 5 starsSilence has a definition, vocabulary of muted diction.
By Church of The Flaming Sword on September 7, 2003
Format: Audio CD
I said it before and I'll say it again. I'm not a death metal fan. While I do appreciate the genius of a few groups like Death, Opeth, and the long defunct Cynic; I feel most death metal is over saturated with so-called musicians who sacrifice musicianship and imagination just so they can show the world how "extreme" they are. And what they end up doing is sounding like every other band. The underground is full of copycats and trend followers just like the mainstream is. But every now and then a diamond will arise from coal (or at least a bunch of black rocks that look coal). The diamond in the coal pile here being Carcass' Heartwork.
A lot of people like to call Heartwork Carcass' sellout album. For the sake of argument, let's say they're right. Back in 1993, Carcass signed on to Columbia with fellow Earache stalwarts Napalm Death and Entombed. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to understand that a few compromises were necessary in order to bring their music to a broader audience. So some of the group's more blatant characteristics like their graphic lyrical content went out the window. Add to that, the band was now playing songs of accessable length ranging from 3 to 5 minutes instead of the brief blasts of noise that they were (in)famous for early in their career. What could have came out as an over-produced mess actually turned out to be a sonic juggernaut that easily ranks up there with anything 1980s Metallica and Iron Maiden put out. Although frustration with the music industry would prove to be Carcass' undoing (and not to mention the reason guitarist Bill Steer nearly quit music for good), "selling out" turned them into a way, way better band if only for a short time.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsOne of death metal's greatest technical statements
By Wheelchair Assassin on November 6, 2002
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
If Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, and Chopin were to get together and record a death metal album, I think it would sound something like "Heartwork." To be sure, "Heartwork" bears many of the marks of a death metal album: it's heavy, it's aggressive, it's typically pretty fast, and the vocals are harsh. However, this album goes down a lot easier than the typical extreme metal album, thanks to Carcass's top-shelf musicianship and doses of rhythm and melody. Probably what I like most about "Heartwork" is that the music is techncial and the arrangments are complicated, but at the same time it manages to be pretty catchy, with plenty of memorable songs. "Carnal Forge" and the title track blaze along at about mach 3, while "No Love Lost" and "Embodiment" grind it out with slower tempos. My favorite here, though, would have to be the heavy and complex "Doctrinal Expletives," which winds its way through multiple tempos and features some inspired guitar work. Jeff Walker's vocals, in contrast to the guttural grunts used by the typical death vocalist (not that grunting is all bad), are a black-metalish rasp that flows very well with the music. It's really guitarists Bill Steer and Michael Ammott that make this album, though. They contribute plenty of catchy riffs and harmonies, and the solos are far more melodic than the typical death metal fare. I saw this album described once as Obituary meets Iron Maiden, and I think that's a pretty apt description. If you want to hear something that's extreme but still accessible, look no further. And be sure to check out Mike Ammott's current band Arch Enemy, who rule as well.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Heavy Metal Classic
By Barry Lee Dejasu on February 15, 2005
Format: Audio CD
The quintessential melodic death metal album, _Heartwork_ is simply one of the most popular and important metal releases in all of the 1990's. If ever there was a metal album which should be included on top 10 lists, _Heartwork_ would be it. On this album, Carcass effortlessly marries the perfect amounts of heaviness, technicality, melody, and catchiness - all the ingredients which make for high-quality heavy metal sound.

Hailing from England, Carcass is a band that incorporates more than just heaviness into their music. They have enough technical capability, originality, and songwriting skills to dazzle and amaze just as easily as they can cave the listener's skull in. Each of Carcass' members is highly talented at their subjective musical contributions. Guitarists Bill Steer and Michael Amott (the latter well-known for his later work in Arch Enemy) are a tight duo, shredding at their instruments with stunning speed and brutality; all at once, however they create flowing, often beautiful, melodies - perhaps the most significant quality of Carcass' sound. Jeff Walker's bass rhythms, while not particularly prominent, are nonetheless integral to Carcass' sound (one of his shining moments is on the title track, during the post-intro melody). Jeff is also the group's vocalist; generally belting out an alto-range growl, his voice is quite harsh, adding new dimensions of ferocity to the music. And drummer Ken Owen is nothing short of amazing as he thunders out some of the most intricate and captivating percussions that metal could ask for.Read more ›
