Carcass are an British extreme metal band from Liverpool, England, formed in 1985. The band have gone through several line-up changes, leaving guitarist Bill Steer and bassist-vocalist Jeff Walker as the only constant members. To date, the band have released seven studio albums, two compilation albums, four EPs, two demo albums, one video album, and six music videos. They are regarded as pioneers of the grindcore and melodic death metal genre; also described as one of the earliest and most important of the new generation of grindcore and death metal bands.
Their fourth album, Heartwork (1993), is considered a landmark in the melodic death metal genre. Carcass were also one of the few death metal acts to sign to a major label, with Columbia Records handling North American distribution for Heartwork, while the album was distributed worldwide by Earache Records who released all of the band's albums up to and including Swansong (1996).
