CARCASS have revealed details of their upcoming album “Torn Arteries” which will be released on September 17th via Nuclear Blast. The band had originally planned to release the record in August of 2020, however COVID-19 put those plans on hold.
Last year CARCASS guitarist Bill Steer spoke to Heavy about the inspiration for the album’s title: “[Ken Owen] had a fictitious band called ‘Torn Arteries’ and he recorded everything himself in his bedroom — guitar and he’d actually bang on boxes and kind of scream into the mic. d the whole thing was so distorted, it kind of sounded super heavy, even though essentially you were listening to a guy with a Spanish guitar and a couple of boxes. I think Jeff [Walker[ appreciates the connection to the past and the fact that it was another Ken Owen classic. So that was his choice, really, and it stuck.”
