Best Carcass Album
This is hands down the best Carcass record end of story. They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and since this album probably hundreds of bands have tried to imitate what all started here, most falling short of the mark. They never got better then the perfect production, groove laden heavy guitars and awesome grind vocals that literally fill every nook and cranny of this stellar album. There are good Carcass imitators out there but none really does it like the originals. If you get one Carcass album Symphonies of Sickness is all you need.


The inventors of goregrind...
Heartwork and swansong are both terrible carcass albums which they have melody and dont got that goregrind sound no more. . But to rejoice in vomit and if your new to goregrind at all or just plain brutal guttural deathmetal ? Learn something & start here with the creators of gore. Carcass's "symphonies of sickness" mastepiece.


Witness the sickness...
Why are all these bands still trying to force themselves onto our collective consciousness? Yeah you play a few down-tuned power chords and blastbeats and gurgle down a microphone and think you're cutting edge? Listen to this and take heed, I own a copy of 'Symphonies of Sickness' - long ago I developed an immunity to your pathetic, anodyne attempts to shock. I hate extreme metal, what an incredibly stupid genre. I can reliably tell you that you suck before I've even listened to you, and I guarantee you that I won't be alone in my opinion.

Have you ever actually listened to this record? If you haven't, your opinion in the world of `extreme' metal doesn't matter. You think your shoddy fifth-generation copy-of-a-copy can match any part of this? The aesthetic, the lyrics, the guitar sound, the song-writing, the sense of humour? You probably can't even listen beyond Track 2 because your puny, insignificant head starts to feel nauseous at around that point. What a pity, you never got to hear the intro to 'Ruptured in Purulence' because you're a fake-ass poser who knows nothing about the history of the bands you're trying to plagiarise. You think you're gonna be the sickest, most horrific band in the world? Whatever - you're just a joke. Everyone thinks you suck because we were all listening to this piece of GENIUS whilst we were eating your placenta for afternoon tea. No-one else has come close to topping this since 1989 and you and your 2-bit pukecore project aint gonna change a thing.


Swarming Vulgar Mass that will kick your...
The disc kicks off with Reek Of Putrefaction which is extremely fast (just like everything Carcass does) and well written. Empathological Necroticism is one of my personal favorite Carcass songs. Exhume To Consume is a sick song that just flat out kills. Along with Swarming Vulgar Mass Of Infected Virulency and Embryonic Necropsy And Devourment hell everything on this album is great. The opening drums of Ruptured In Purulence is one that I have emulated while jamming out many times. It's simple but everyone that knows Carcass knows it. Especially the vocal gargling. This is a excellent album, one of if not the best Carcass release. I still listen to this album to this day.
The original cover blows away the new one.


IT'll turn your brain to MUSH!!!!!
Why you ask? Because it is my favorite album ever. I am totally bias towards this album. In any genre. This was one of the first death metal/grincore records I ever got. I was 13 years old when i got this and it blew my mind. The recording is low budget and somewhat raw but it adds to the essence of the album. The music kills and so do the vokillz. I don't post my picture cause constant listens to this record have melted the skin off my face. buy this record. A must for anyone just getting into the music. You can't be a fan of music if you don't own this.
