Carcass will always be a Top 5 band for me. They just have that perfect blend of riffs, brutality and melodies for me.

Man, I don't remember the last time I clicked a notification so aggressively when I saw this. I'm hyped for this!!! I hope to see a high placement for Surgical Steel for most of you. 😎

I find it very relaxing to watch Carcass rankings because, as far as I'm concerned, every album is brilliant. So, I can see any possible ranking for this band and say "yup, that makes sense to me."

Love the Carc. Thanks for the vid. Much love from Japan.

Great video as always! For me, Symphonies of Sickness still reigns supreme, to this day I have yet to hear an album that matches Symphonies disgusting atmosphere. Love all their albums but I do wish they would return to that style one more time, it could be a 3 track EP and I would be satisfied.

One of my top five favorite bands of all time. Can’t wait for this one! Although I believe they have no bad albums, I still ranked them: 1. Necroticism 2. Symphonies 3. Heartwork 4. Surgical Steel 5. Swansong 6. Torn Arteries 7. Reek Again, I love every single one of these, I just gotta listen to Torn and Reek more 🤘

Looking forward to this ranking.

these rankings are some of my favorite videos, and ive always wanted to do a deep dive on carcass! love this shit guys cant wait for the next one

Love these album rankings!!

Ahhh it's always a good day when Thralls releases an album ranking 🙌

Keep up the great content!

New subscriber and enjoying all of the videos I've seen so far. Keep up the good work Saw Carcass in Ft. Lauderdale on the Heartwork tour with Life of Agony....it was unbelievable!!! Necroticism is #1 for me

great video keep em comin !

Great ranking video. I am psyched that the are playing on this upcoming tour 20 minutes from my house.

Great video guys! My ranking is: 1. Necroticism 2. Heartwork 3. Symphonies 4. Swansong 5. Surgical Steel 6. Torn Arteries 7. Reek

Reek and symphonies. That’s it less is more! Loved to incantation ranking you guys did

Great video! Reek is my #1 because of the production. I love the absurdity of it. Not to mention the beginning of goregrind. It's the first I heard as a teen too so it's hard to not consider it #1.

Swansong is amazing. Never understood the backlash. Great riffs, catchy choruses…one of my favorite albums ever. With that said, Heartwork is THE best album. My ranking with ratings would probably look like this (and 4 5 star albums is no joke): 1. Heartwork (5/5) 2. Swansong (5/5) 3. Necroticism (5/5) 4. Surgical Steel (5/5) 5. Torn Arteries (4.5/5) 6. Symphonies of Sickness (4/5) 7. Reek of Putrefaction (3/5)

Back doing rankings! These videos are awesome. Heartwork is the definitive Carcass masterpiece!

Yes! the mighty Carcass! loving this episode, feels like I'm among friends talking about music we all love. I'll never ever forget the time I saw the heartwork video. first time I listened to Carcass and it was awesome. like life-changing stuff. That record IMO has it all. Masterpiece. and Carcass are awesome, they can't make a bad record as far as I'm concerned

Whoa fellas!!! Was hoping for a quick shout out on the Surgical Remission EP. More awesome B-sides! Love me some Carcass on any album!

Man wild to think Heartwork came out 4 days after I was born haha, great vid as always! My second watch of this

Carcass is just awesome, even with "only" 7 albums they influenced so much in many genres. Love the content Thralls! Looking forward to another ranking.

I was at a bar and met people whom I’ve seen at death metal shows. When I said Symphonies of Sickness, they were all like ”Hell yeah!!”, and we started mimicing the intro of ”Reek of Putrefaction”

45 minutes of joy listening to you all chat about carcass albums 👏👏👏

Maan you guys are so lucky to have each other!! I wish i could be a part of the show with you guys! Love the channel!

I went to university in Liverpool and used to go drinking in The Swan and regularly saw Jeff Walker in there, which blew my tiny little mind at the time, haha. Only ever talked to him once, despite seeing him in there a few dozen times.

Excellent stuff, been looking forward to this one. I find it hard to rank them, as I was there at the start, I saw them live so many times in the late 80's, bought Reek the first day it came out. I loved the first 4, then refused to buy Swansong, out of principle.was lucky enough to see Carcass play in 2016, with Napalm Death, Obituary & Voivid ( Away did the tour posters & tee shirts!!), and they were stunning ( supporting Surgical Steel). Torn Arteries was in my year end list as well, excellent stuff. Great video gents, cheers 🍻 🤘

Carcass are one of my all time favorite bands, and it gets hard for me to rank them, but here goes. 1. Heartwork 2. Necroticism 3. Surgical Steel 4. Symphonies of Sickness 5. Torn Arteries 6. Swansong 7. Reek of Putrefaction The bottom 2 are still great in my book, I just listen to the other ones so much more.

One of my all time favorite bands 1. Heartwork 10/10 2. Reek of Putrefaction 10/10 3. Surgical Steel 10/10 4. Symphonies of sickness 10/10 5. Necroticism 10/10 (I’m a giant goregrind fan. This was never gonna rank higher than Symphonies or Reek) 6. Swan Song 7/10 7. Torn Arteries 5.5/10 Aight been a bit so imma update my list 1. Necroticism 10/10 2. Symphonies of Sickness 10/10 3. Reek of Putrefaction 10/10 4. Heartwork 10/10 5. Surgical steel 8/10 6. Swan Song 7/10 7. Torn Arteries 5.5/10

One more subscriber,greetings from brazil!

Thanks for ranking CARCASS !!!

Going to see carcass in Liverpool in June. Hometown show will be awesome. I can’t wait

My Ranking: 1. Surgical Steel 2. Heartwork 3. Necroticism 4. Swansong 5. Torn Arteries 6. Reek Of Putrefaction 7. Symphonies Of Sickness I think alot of that has to do with when I got into them which was about 10 years ago and the fact that in those ten years I started from a thrash or die mentality and have since expanded my outlook into more extreme forms of metal and Carcass is one of the biggest factors that caused this 😁👍

I love these ranking videos! For me it’s 1. Heartwork 2. Necroticism 3. Surgical Steel 4. Torn Arteries 5. Symphonies 6. Swansong 7. Reek

Good job guys. My first exposure to Carcass was when Heartwork came out, and it's always been my #1. Surgical Steel and Torn Arteries probably go back and forth as my #2 and #3.

There's no way in hell it'll be anyone else's number 1, but reek of putrefaction will always hold that top spot for me. It's such an unrepentantly raw slab of grind noisemongery that just sits on that bit of my brain that responds to blastbeats, gurgles and guitar tones heavier than tectonic shifts and ruthlessly hatefucks it to death.

I just listened to Necroticism this album is freaking amazing.

Apart from their grindcore stuff, I love their discography. Heartwork and Surgical Steel are my favourites! Nice to see my fellow countrymen getting recognition from all across the international metal community!

Cool episode Thralls 🤘. I think I align most closely with Jammin' Jon, though ShredLord comes close. Blasphemous opinion: Surgical Steel is far and away my favorite Carcass album. I think I would also put SwanSong at #4 or 5. I love that song Rock The Vote. The single off the album, Black Star (I think it was the single) was good too. Other than Dance Of Ixtab, I wasn't really too into Torn Arteries.

My rank of Carcass albums: every one of them on first place! Including Wake Up and Smell the Carcass compilation because it's all new content and the artwork is sick

1. Heartwork 2. Necroticism 3. Swansong 4. Symphonies 5. Torn arteries 6. Surgical steel 7. Reek. everyone else did a ranking so theres mine, and yes I love Swansong! "Wake up and smell the carcass" is awesome too. Thanks thrallers for another cool video.

Torn Arteries was my favourite death metal album of 2021. It's SO FREAKING GOOD.

"I got this poster in my kitchen, because that's where it fckn belongs" Hahahahaha! Classic.

1- Heartwork 2- Necroticism 3- Torn Arteries 4- Surgical Steel 5- Wake up and smell (ok) 6- Reek 7- Symphonies 8- Swansong

Great video! My progression through musical heaviness was Kiss, Priest, Pantera then Carcass. They truly blew me away and opened my eyes to what "heavy" could be when I was first played Heartwork by a mate. I went back and checked out the early stuff but prior to Necroticism I can leave alone. I agree Heartwork is a modern metal classic and really paved the way for much of the "mellowdeath" that followed. One of my alltime top 5 bands and the combination of Walker \ Steer should go down in metal history as god tier. For me: 5 - Necroticism 4 - Surgical Steel 3 - Swansong 2 - Torn Arteries 1 - Heartwork

I love watching your videos, they are entertaining, informative and funny. Have you heard of Carnage from Sweden? Michael Amott played on their Demos and only album Dark Reflections.

7. Swansong 6. Torn Arteries 5. Heartwork 4. Surgical Steel 3. Reek of Putrefaction 2. Symphonies of Sickness 1.Necroticism Descanting The Insulubrious

Sorry I haven't been able to catch the last few videos I'm out of town for the week! But Swansong and Torn Arteries have been in my rotation for quite awhile now

1. Surgical steel 2. Heartwork 3. Necroticism 4. Torn arteries 5. Swansong 6. Symphonies 7. Reek

Great video, found out a few bits of trivia I hadn't heard before. Cool to hear everyone's opinion on their discography. One of the best bands in metal, got to meet Bill and Jeff after a gig on the Deathcrusher tour and they were cool to talk with. 1. Necroticism 2. Symphonies 3. Heartwork 4. Surgical Steel 5. Reek 6. Torn Arteries 7. Swansong

My buddies and me were sll Deicide-Heads, Corpse-junkies... Heartwork made us forget all of them...Heartwork was the album that Death, Obituary, all wanted to create. Swansong borrowed Nicko McBrain to do Tech...

Carcass - My favorite Extreme Metal band. This is my ranking: 1- Reek of Putrefaction. 2 - A carousel composed by the rest of their discography.

Heartwork is a milestone album. Its highly essential for metal albums, like all metal. I think.

1. Heartwork The one and only for me, their other albums never caught my ear. Perfect 10. Not only great for Carcass, but one of the all time best death metal albums too.

1. Surgical Steel ( First carcass album ı listened) 2. Heartwork 3. Torn Arteries 4. Necroticism 5. Swansong 6. Symphonies of Sickness 7. Reek of Putrefaction

Reminder set! One of my all time favourite bands! My ranking: Necroticism Heartwork Symphonies Torn Arteries Surgical Steel Swansong Reek

I'd imagine the editing process for these longer videos can be tedious, we appreciate y'all! Can't wait to hear the consensus on swansong.

I'm not ready to say it's their BEST album but the one I most often have an urge to listen to (at least these days) is Surgical Steel.

Is that a Mortiferum shirt?? Those guys killed on the Immolation tour

Nice video. Torn Arteries dissapointed me. I remember I thought "Damn, this feels like they activated some kind of Carcass Riff Generator App". For me it's Heartwork, then Necroticism then Surgical Steel.

Even I, who has never touched a guitar or drum before and has not listened to a ton of metal related records knows about Carcass. I mean I have heard about 100 metal records but still.....that is not much. But I definitely know about this band. I just haven't listened as of yet. But I do plan on doing just that. I hope soon.

ooooh yeah baby, first time a ranking drops of a band i've already listened to beforehand while i've been a fan of the channel pretty clear cut ranking for me but lets see what they think 1. heartwork 2. necrotocism 3. surgical steel 4. torn arteries 5. swansomg 6. symphonies of sickness 7. reek of putrefaction the last two are the only ones i dislike, the 4 proper melodeath albums are four of my favorite death metal albums ever

Thank you for doing Carcass! I hope in the future you guys can do Immolation, Enslaved, King Diamond & Metallica.

1. Heartwork 2. Necroticism 3. Surgical steel 4. symphonies of sickness 5. swansong

Did you know both Jeff Walker and Bill Steer were in a band before carcass together? Known as smeg in the heads. There number one was a the absolute Zinger Om. Absolute classic. Thralls give it a listen

I like that one album where they sing about grotesque surgical biology medical stuff

Pretty easy ranking for me: 1. Necroticism (this is my #1 by A LOT I adore this album) - 2. Symphonies of Sickness 3. Heartwork 4. Reek of Putrefaction 5. Surgical Steel 6. Torn Arteries 7. Swansong

i love carcass awesome ranking

Necroticism for me, a special album growing up in the early 90s Amazing all the way through

Thank You for this ranking, now I'm jamming Carcass on a shuffle playlist lol

Swansong is really underappreciated, for what it is it is an amazing album.

1. Heartwork 2. Swansong 3. Necroticism 4. SS 5. TA 6. SOS 7. ROP I love when u guys do these vids....i would also love if u guys did the in flames discog next....i know that would be a really entertaining one 24:32

I disagree that Symphonies of Sickness has bad production. Just because an albums production sound is somewhat dirty doesn't make it bad. I do get where you guys are coming from though. That's why I personally love classic Death Metal, and Brutal Death Metal over a lot of the modern stuff out there today. The sounds are so different for every band, every album, whereas today's bands often sound alike, and even use the same exact equipment to get their sounds. Everything is on a grid and every note is too perfect. I still love newer bands, but there was something about those early years of Death Metal that will never be done the same way again.

Surgical Steel would've been a great follow-up from Heartwork I think but going to see them live in May in Glasgow Scotland for the first time, been one of my all-time favourite bands n been listening since I was 13 n I'm 42 so it's a bucket list thing. Really wanted to check of Obituary, Electric Wizard n most of all Carcass so I'm two down with one to go n I can't wait

18:43 Hope that no scousers are watching 😬

Hey guys, its a few months old at this point but you should REALLLLYYYYY check out Final Resting Place - Prelude to Extinction. This is a brutal death metal band/album that features members of various hardcore bands, and was released on the hardcore Label DAZE new sister label for brutal stuff like this, DAZE Brutal. I HIGHLY recommend checking it out. It is fucking awesome!

probably redundant to say it since everyone else is, but carcass is one of my favorite bands. I've only been into extreme metal for a couple years now but they're one of the bands I found that made me excited for what death metal can offer. i remember clearly the first time I was recommended necroticism on youtube and going "huh weird cover art. I've heard of these guys before, I better check this out"

For me, Necroticism is definitely top. Followed by Surgical Steel and Heartwork.

Been waiting for this ranking, super stoked for it! Carcass are in my top 10 (maybe even top 5) so I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on them. They are coming by me soon, so I'll get to see them live for the first time! Santa Ana, CA on a Monday night! 😆 Oh well, worth it. My ranking: 1 Heartwork - you guys know why. I don't need to explain. Fucking masterpiece. Play it loud 🤘 2 Torn Arteries - Maybe I need to explain. Perhaps controversial, but I think it has some of their most creative song writing to date. I like how they experimented in Flesh Ripping Sonic Tormented Limited. I've been jamming the record consistently since it's release, and I'm still not sick of it. I still love it. It has strong staying power for me. It deserves my number 2 spot. Fight me. 3 Surgical Steel - first record I heard of theirs, and I still love it so much. I respect that they could come back with some of their best material to date after that long of a hiatus. They bring their A-game to this one. 4 Swansong - this album is catchy as fuck, fight me! Great writing by Steer, executed perfectly. Not their normal tempo, but I work out to it a lot, and it somehow works. It has a lot of energy, it's just not what we're used to with Carcass. Plus, I can jam Swansong around most people without offending them. So that's a win. Blast "R**k The Vote" proudly! 5 Necroticism - crushing death metal, with some of my favorite Carcass riffs. Legendary record. It feels weird ranking it 5, but that's just how it goes. I'd tie it with Swansong, I enjoy them equally. 6 Symphonies of Sickness - solid record, I just don't jam it a lot. The production isn't the greatest on the copy I have, and it doesn't seem as memorable compared to the rest of their material. If this is one of your favorites, I'd love to hear your thoughts. 7 Reek of Putrefaction - just can't get into it. I respect the hell out of it. It's good at what it sets out to do, it's just not for me. Grindcore has never hit me right. So I'm glad they started changing direction with their next release.

I love Groove Metal and Swansong is unbelievably groovy. It's my #1

Fun fact Bill Steer recorded all rhythm guitars on all albums. Michael only played lead guitar . Heartwork is top 5 in my list of albums period.

Love this '... Albums Ranked'. Would love to see one day 'Gorguts, Cryptopsy, Obituary, Deicide, Atheist, Autopsy and Immolation Ranked'.

I just listened to Necroticism for the first time, and it might just be my numer one. I'm still new to the whole extreme music thing, because that's how I spent my COVIDcation, and Carcass is one of those bands that struck a visceral nerve. I shuffled through their first two LPs - alright for what they are, but not super-impressive. Then, I listened to Heartwork - incredible stuff, but a little "too" catchy. Between checking out all the other music I've been getting into lately - everything from Hank Mobley to Morbid Angel to Last Exit - I had somehow never even realized that Carcass released an album in between! Granted, it's still fresh to my ears, which are way more adjusted to the nuances of "zhe extreme" than they were last year, but holy fuck - WHAT HAVE I BEEN MISSING?! Necroticism... It's the best of both worlds!!! I can't wait to dig on the comeback album, from what everyone says. It still might be a toss-up between the two Amott albums, but Necroticism... FUCK YEAH!!! P. S. Excellent work, guys. Tuning in to this channel is always a good time. "Edu-tainment," as the kids like to say. Keep it up, motherfuckers!

I skipped school to wait for the record store to open. I bought Hearwork with stolen money. It was worth it.

"Swansong, its good for cleaning" They should put that on the album

Imo to difficult of a catalog to rank. Similar to Death, every album is killer, different, and several albums started a sub-genre of metal. Do I pick as my favorite the first album I bought by them - Symphonies or the first time I saw them live- Heartwork or I could pick Torn Arteries since I probably jammed it non stop for the last year. Good luck and looking foward to how you rank them.

These guys are absolutely one of my top ever death metal bands.

Speak of the Devil. Carcass will be at Psycho Las Vegas this year. I did see them with Slayer in 2016. And even 200 Stab Wounds is going to be at PLV 2022. These album rankings are awesome. 🤘🎸😈💀

Last days of humanity albums ranked next!

Couple of side notes, the band Carnal Forge took their name from the Carcass song. And the Australian death grind/gabba band The Berzerker has a cover of Corporal Jigsore Quandary on their 2002 album Dissimulate.

well it doesnt surprise me that heartwork and later albums are ranked so high since most plebs got to know carcass only because of the mtv video. #1 NECROTICISM #2 SYMPHONIES #3 REEK OF PUTREFACTION #4 VACANT #5 HEARTWORK

The BBC/Peel Sessions is essential if if you don't dig the muddy necro sound of the Reek era.

Carcass was the first band I ever heard doing blast-beats. I could not comprehend what I was hearing :)

The band that made me want to play death metal at age 14! Honoring the Gods of Grind!!!! 1. Necroticism 2. Symphonies 3. Heartwork 4. Surgical Steel 5. Torn Arteries 6. Swansong 7. Reek

I'm not familiar enough with their discography to do a ranking, but I'm pretty sure Heartwork would top my list, followed by either surgical steel or necroticism. Haven't actually finished all of Torn Arteries lol.

1. Heartwork 2. Torn Arteis 3.Surgical Steel 4. Swansong 5. Symphonies

Love rankings. Specially when it good bands. Carcass rules, specially Necroticism

I appreciate ya’ll ranking Carcass. Necroticism is # uno imo guys… it’s also my favorite metal album of all time.

I was maybe 16-17 yrs old, watching headbangers ball. I knew Carcass but never listened to them, all I knew that Michael A. was their member and I listened lot of old Arch Enemy. But when I saw the video of No Love Lost, I thought: "Why the fuck I never heard this before?" That main riff just stuck in my head! Then I listened that whole Heartwork album and my soul was sold! Full of tasty riffs. Definitely my all time-fav DM albums.
