Yes I’d say safely that Napalm pushed the envelope to the extremes, and Carcass turned it into the most incredible artistic expression I’ve ever witnessed. The whole catalog of Caracas’ work, including the newest EP is simply beyond comparison and just when I think they are done and have no more musical wizardry to bestow upon us, I am wrong beyond my own comprehension. I even expected the latest song, “Slaughtered in Soho” to be another very good song. I was wrong. It is simply one of the most beautiful melodies where Bach would be proud of his multi century influence and yet the song is brutal and somewhat comical all at the same time- But that’s Carcass, tongue in cheek, biting the cheek, smiling wryly, triple entendres, deadly serious, and playfully exercising our lexicon past the limits of known verbiage. Between the two albums Necroticism and Heartwork, there are dozens of permutated utterances requiring many hours with a medical dictionary and a musical dictionary for me to decode it all, and the result is even more crazy, beautiful, insightful, and real than any artistic endeavor should be.
2023!!! Carcass' Heartwork album is a masterpiece. I'm from Latin America, and when I first listened to this band, I was captivated by their distinctive sound and those well-structured, commercial riffs, while still maintaining that Grind style.
Best advice on the internet. Go listen all their albums, god even their bsides are mindblowing ! Immortal Carcass, probably best death band. Maybe best extrem metal band.
I first heard this in the early 90s too and you're right Andy M, this is still fresh. My dad always said that music that doesn't age are classics and this definitely forfils that criteria for me as this is still a great tune after all this time!
That is cool man! Do you like metal, or was it just something you was asked if you would like to be a part of? Either way it must be cool to look at the video and see yourself in it :).
That transition at 3:59 is so satisfying! And the tone of the guitars in that short solo shortly afterwards is pure gold. I do not listen to Carcass every day anymore, but coming back to this is a joy!
I remember when I was 17 and played this song for some friends who thought Metallica was the heaviest metal they'd ever heard. Had to help them pick their jaws up off'n the floor.
@@angelinabla7891 "Heavy" is a somewhat subjective term. I personally consider doom metal and its many derivatives to be the pinnacle of "true" heaviness (slow, crushing riffs, beefy bass, pounding drum sound), whereas death metal is faster, more brutal and aggressive. Death metal is obviously still heavy, but in a different way, and not to the extent of heaviness that riff driven metal bands can provide. Under either definition, I still wouldn't put Metallica anywhere near the tip of a heaviness scale, but they're still heavy, they have slow, driven riffs at times, and to someone who had only heard them (as the original comment said about their friends), then they're obviously gonna be the heaviest thing going until being shown otherwise.
As someone who listens to quite a bit of guitar music, I never understood the "heavy-ness" contest. Besides the fact that it's a completely subjective thing anyway, different bands will just sound different and one genre is not better than another just because it's "heavier". I always interpreted heavy as bassy, lumbering rhythms. By that measure though, there's some Noise rock that is probably much "heavier" than even Carcass here. You typically wouldn't apply that sort of term to a noise rock band however, so I don't really see the point. I realize that throwing the term around is more or less specific to metal, but still, it seems a bit pointless.
This is the first song I've ever heard by carcass and I gotta say I'm amazed by the vocals. They are exactly the type of metal vocals I like. Like I only need to listen to 5 seconds of the vocals to know that I was gonna like this song
I'm the same way for the most part. This is PINNACLE melodic death metal. For me, the vocals don't get better than this in metal or even come close for that matter lol
It was maligned at the time when it came out though. I remember getting it on cassette and sitting and listening with two of my mates. They hated it. They were just a decade ahead of the curve.
Im old and shit, but this is, in my opinion, still probably the best metal album of all time. I bought this when it came out cause I saw the video, and it changed my life musically. I used to think Metallica was the be all end all. Then i heard Heartwork...Jesus
+colin poitras I fully blame this video for all of my obsession for heavy metal. It was released when i was 6 and was the first music video i saw on mtv at my big brothers friends house. I remember being extremely scared haha. Fucking brilliant album. Also a welder now too, perhaps this video has a lot to answer for!
+colin poitras I remember seeing it for the first time. I wonder if the same person directed it as Morbid angel Rapture and God of emptiness . Seems like their were some subtle similarities.
+colin poitras When i was young non of my neighbours was listening to metallica, my friends showed me death and thrash - there is not enough words to describe how thankful i am. When i grew up and understood lyrics, metal became even more important to me. Few years ago found few metallica songs that are also epic. Anyway... good shit.
This changed my life when it came out in the early 90s. Dark post-apocalyptic atmosphere, Tetsuo vibes, massive guitars and lots of hair. I haven’t been the same since!
🤭I have never understood hypocrite people who think that metal music is not for kids!!! My son loved Morbid Angel before he was 2 years old😊 Why wouldn't we offer the world's finest music for our children!?!? Some adults really seem to think that the devil will take them or shit like that😂

I was never a diehard fan of extreme metal but when I first heard ‘Heartwork’ back in 1993 thanks to some school friends, it was a revelation. Carcass had/have so much melody mixed in with their brutal tones, it’s actually really easy listening as far as extreme music goes. Such killer grooves and Jeff Walker’s vocals just had something ultra appealing about it. They were trailblazers of multiple sub genres of metal and each album was a new blueprint. Few of their contemporaries at the time matched their level of melody with heaviness. And almost 30 years later they’re still providing quality!
I'm literally crying at how amazing and beautiful this is. I love the guitars and vocals so much. The ending guitar solo gets me every time. I really wish it was longer.
You gotta love Ken Owen. In a metal world full of mullets, dreadlocks and really long hair, he looks like a preppy private school kid, or a eccy popping raver.....always loved his drumming. This is a guy who pretty much straight out of school said to himself "I wanna play as fast as I can in a grindcore band"....mad respect to him for that. It's an ideal for us all to follow.....
Yeah, Ken stood out from Bill, Mike, and Jeff. He's an amazing drummer on those albums. Only realized many years later that Ken is originally from the village where I grew up - Billinge.
No compromise, no bullshit, no filler , metal in its purest form. Heartwork is one of the best metal albums ever imo period. Amott and Steer kick ass on this one.
These guys did, at the gates, in flames, and dissection were the most influential in the 90s. You can still hear their inspiration whether directly or indirectly in a lot of new death metal and metalcore.
Absolute masterpiece, watershed moment in metal. The entire Swedish Melodic Death Metal genre, most of the New Wave of American Heavy Metal/ Metalcore genre owe huge debts to Carcass and the Heartwork album
The entire metalcore aka scenecore/mallcore genre can get on there fucking knees and worship Carcass as well as the entire catalogue of thrash metal, death metal bands, hardcore/crossover bands from the early 80's to 90's.
Mike Amott is Swedish and was in a Swedish melodic death band called carnage when carcass snapped him up and really he brought a lot of that sound with him so probably carcass have more to thank Sweden for! Now he's in arch enemy of course, he left as soon as this was recorded and not even out I don't think!
Christian Brennan Carnage were just Swedish Death Metal. No melodic imfluences. Also, 90% of the riffs are Bill's. Swedish Death Metal influenced the Gothenberg scene in terms of guitar tone. BOSS HM2 pedal.
Heartwork was so revolutionary at the time, merging the brutality of grind and death metal with the fist-pumping feel of classic metal like Maiden or Dio that got me into metal in the first place. Death and Atheist were going for something similar, but were more proggy/techy and didn't have that "just go out and kick ass" kind of attitude that Carcass displayed.
Imaginate a los 14 años ver esto en la mtv quede perplejo y fascinado aquel año 1994 desde ese mismo momento quede enamorado y atrapado sin vuelta atras por la musica metal no existe musica mejor solo los metaleros de la vieja escuela disfrutaron de la verdadera pureza no es lo mismo verlo ahora que en los 90
Ehmm, those aren't actually solos. Those are simply melodic lines integrated into the song. Solos are made for instruments to stand out on their own. This is clasic music theory in its absolute basics.
Great song and album!! Plus, watching the video makes me feel better. There's something about their hair that cures my heart. Just look at @3:47 please. Wow, just wow.
Agreed. Corporal jigsore was an "ah-ha" moment for me as a metal fan and a drummer. That song had severe groove and hook. The opening drum beat, the riff matching up.... so good. One of my all time favs.
and the best thing is that every album sounds different, you've got styles from goregrind to melodic death metal and even some bluesy elements here and there
Great guitar and great drums...The adrenaline rush that I get is unreal when I see them jamming together..These guys are very Fucking talented... been listening to them since I was 14....I'm 40 now.. True talent and great music stand the test of time!!!!
It's 8:30am here in Beautiful Southern Sunny Pittsburgh PA 😉 and I am gonna start a nice calm day with some smooth and groove from one of my favorites...

This is the demonstration of the genius of Carcass. They released an Album and a song (Heartwork released 18 oct 1993) that, 30 years later, is still current and shines with its own light. Respect ++++ boys
A great classic and one of the best if not the best sound production back in early 90s I remember it well, I was speechless to the quality and clean sound just perfect I mean look even today the sound of the album is still good crazy
I have so much respect for this song because of the amount of relief that I managed to perceive from my daily workflow, with this craftsmanship I was been able to keep inspired at the different labs that I worked for, stuyding and exercising. Got to see them live in 2016
"Why if the song is called 'Heartwork' its lyrics do not speak of love?" -Me at 16 without english language notion and listening Carcass for the first time

Well said good sir.
It's on bandcamp too if you just want to d/l but still support the artist.
The production is great too. On my system it sounds so full and muscular.
When I heard this in 93 it was like someone cleaned my ears out with hot water it was so pure sounding. It still sounds ahead of its time.
So true!
The guitar harmonies are absolutely mesmerizing ...
Still sounds fresh and intense now as it did back in 93.

I first heard this in the early 90s too and you're right Andy M, this is still fresh. My dad always said that music that doesn't age are classics and this definitely forfils that criteria for me as this is still a great tune after all this time!
Directed by Tony Kunewalder. 1993
Filmed at Lacy Street Production Studio in Los Angeles CA.

It's one of the best part of the song.

A canvas to paint, to denigrate
Dark reflections, of dark foul light
Profound, aesthetic beauty
Or shaded, sensary corruption

In deft taints, diluted, tinted
Spelt out, in impaired colour
Denigrating, going to paints to pain - not a pretty picture

Ehmm, those aren't actually solos. Those are simply melodic lines integrated into the song. Solos are made for instruments to stand out on their own. This is clasic music theory in its absolute basics.
Who would have expected such a melodic masterpiece from the same guys who brought us the vilest, most underproduced goregrind???
Great song and album!! Plus, watching the video makes me feel better. There's something about their hair that cures my heart. Just look at @3:47 please. Wow, just wow.
Few reach this level
Very few
Jeff’s snarling vocals match perfectly with Bill’s snarling guitar tone. This whole album is perfect from top to bottom.
One of my favourite carcass songs. This and Corporal jigsore! Dang
Agreed. Corporal jigsore was an "ah-ha" moment for me as a metal fan and a drummer. That song had severe groove and hook. The opening drum beat, the riff matching up.... so good. One of my all time favs.
saw carcass with deafheaven a couple weeks ago, was one of the best sounding shows i've been too
These guys have never put out a bad record.
and the best thing is that every album sounds different, you've got styles from goregrind to melodic death metal and even some bluesy elements here and there
Yeah they have, this one
Make Earache Grind Again!!
Great guitar and great drums...The adrenaline rush that I get is unreal when I see them jamming together..These guys are very Fucking talented... been listening to them since I was 14....I'm 40 now.. True talent and great music stand the test of time!!!!
It's 8:30am here in Beautiful Southern Sunny Pittsburgh PA 😉 and I am gonna start a nice calm day with some smooth and groove from one of my favorites... How's bout a lil CarCass to start this Blessed day!!!🎶🌄😉🕸️☯️🙈🙉🙊♉🎭🇮🇹🇨🇭🇮🇪®️®️
Pedals to the metals all day because I don't know how to live any other Fucking Way!!! It's gonna be a good day 😉
One of the most epic and influential bands ever!
Classic Carcass track. Amazing.
The 4 boys from Liverpool who made music history.
Enjoying this masterpiece since 1993 when it came out then. I bought it on cassette tape! I never knew what a classic it would become! Timeless work of art.
I watched every episode of Headbanger's Ball when this song came out hoping they played it. I was so happy every time they did!!
51 years old and it's still sweet music to my ears🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
I’m in love with the part from 2:12 to 2:40, such a melodic riff!
Absolute timeless classic!! I've had this album since it was released and still listen to it regularly \m/ playing this on the show this week
i did waited every saturday in MTV Headbangers to watch this jewel
Наконец то песня про сварщиков )))с газовыми резаками.....и с электродуговым держателем в руках )))....каждый раз когда я режу металл газовым резаком в моих наушниках играет песня Heartwork группы Carcass ,а ведь эта песня была написана за долго до то того как я стал сварщиком ....я родился в 1992 году ,а песня написана в 1993 когда я ещё пешком под стол ходил я бы и подумать не мог что для меня эта песня станет моим сварочным гимном спустя 29 лет ))) искры,болгарка ,металл,сварочная дуга электрода ,металл ...от электрогитары группы Carcass .да всё-таки моя работа сварщика это лучшая работа на земле ,я режу металл газовым резаком ,свариваю электродом ,я чувствую металл , чувствую расплавленную дугу..это самая лучшая работа -работа с металлом )) ...я как сварщик работаю с металлом и я слушаю металл ,с чем работаю то и слушаю .....это работа нашего стального сердца господа сварщики Carcass
-Heartwork )))
О, как завернул!😃
@@is-za_pechki ну это правда я работая сварщиком вдохновляюсь этой песней.
@@is-za_pechki если для тебя это смешно ,то для меня это моя работа ,работа и моя профессия которой я посвящаю себя целиком и полностью....и она мне нравится мне нравится что я делаю из металла и мне нравится работать с ним....и слушаь его )))
@@dmitrybunny1470 Разве я сказал, что это плохо?
На таких каналах не встретить сторонних посетителей, чтобы они писали в негативном ключе.
Я сам сварщик-любитель и ковкой балуюсь и вообще слесаркой металла)). Бывает, что и под Heartwork)
@@is-za_pechkiизвени братан)
Still one of the nastiest riff's I've ever heard. Top 5 for me any day.
Boing!
Yes I agree!! This is definitely one of the best metal songs ever!! Awesome!!!🤘
So heavy and innovative, not only for its time, but forever.
Trying to grow long hair like this, fuck it's hard. These guys put much care in to hair products and grooming as they do music. For real
This is the demonstration of the genius of Carcass. They released an Album and a song (Heartwork released 18 oct 1993) that, 30 years later, is still current and shines with its own light. Respect ++++ boys
25 years later, this album still rocks!
That rhythm is insanely good.
The whole album is a god- given masterpiece!
The best piecie of metal music ever. No question.
Absolute Masterpiece...cheers from Argentina.
Man the fucking guitars sound so good
Still to this day of the best metal songs ever absolute classic
A great classic and one of the best if not the best sound production back in early 90s
I remember it well, I was speechless to the quality and clean sound just perfect I mean look even today the sound of the album is still good crazy
I like the way vocals are done...particularly the phrasing and that hook with "the color out of space" repeated strategically in the right places.
Still one of my favorite metal bands after all those years! Love you guys!
"22 years old and still sounding as good as ever." -Carcass
Still does here in September 2022
Liverpool has two great things that it has given to the world... one of them is Carcass
I'm very honored to say I have a pick from both Michael Amott and Bill Steer
Excellent. So, which one did you choose?
I have so much respect for this song because of the amount of relief that I managed to perceive from my daily workflow, with this craftsmanship I was been able to keep inspired at the different labs that I worked for, stuyding and exercising. Got to see them live in 2016
Absolutely brutal bands like Carcass and Morbid Angel you can never go wrong
"Why if the song is called 'Heartwork' its lyrics do not speak of love?"
-Me at 16 without english language notion and listening Carcass for the first time
Thats too profound XD ouch
