Carcass Debut Vicious New Song ‘Kelly’s Meat Emporium’ + Announce ‘Torn Arteries’ Album Details

The legendary Carcass have finally unveiled the details to Torn Arteries, the long-awaited new album that will serve as the successor to 2013’s comeback effort, Surgical Steel. A new song, “Kelly’s Meat Emporium” has also been released.

Torn Arteries, Carcass’ seventh full length record, will be out on Sept. 17 on Nuclear Blast Records and was originally intended to be released last year, but those plans were derailed by the pandemic. Instead, the band issued a four-song EP, Despicable, to tide fans over and one of those tracks, “Under the Scalpel Blade,” will also appear on the forthcoming release.

The group, who is largely credited with inventing the goregrind genre and later helped popularize melodic death metal, was venerated for their ability to seamlessly merge sounds from across their catalog on Surgical Steel, a tradition which has been executed masterfully on “Kelly’s Meat Emporium” as well.

Winding melodies, eager and snarling riffs, perfectly timed blast beats and even some rock moments present on the divisive Swansong album all coalesce on this latest single.
