Symphonies of Sickness - Carcass

***

Carcass' second effort, Symphonies of Sickness shows a huge musical improvement over Reek of Putrefaction, with the whole band maturing to a more fulfilling degree. The album follows a very solid grindcore structure; a mish-mash of guitars, growling and drums; a theme that continues throughout the whole album. Even though the solos are very poor in comparison to Necroticism, and it doesn't ever tread on any new territory in the same way that Heartwork did, it doesn't really need to. It's a classic Carcass album, and for that reason alone, it's worth checking out.
