For a band to get back together and produce a new album seventeen years after its split is hardly ever dreamed of! Regardless, this is what Carcass managed to accomplish in a beautiful way. Indeed, whereas time passing by usually intensifies the doubts concerning the capacity of a band to honour its work, the English came back with a genuine Carcass album, almost unanimously greeted by the critics and the fans along. So what’s the secret behind this achievement? Not thinking too much, doing what they felt like doing and being aware of their past and their own story.
