  • Here’s a compilation of my 25 personal favorite Carcass riffs (in random order).
    I hope you'll enjoy this one!
    It was very hard to choose because Carcass has a ton of slammin’ riffs (Bill Steer is an absolute legend). Some songs were released on different albums / E.P.’s and sometimes they were re-recorded with slightly different riffs. Some artwork is from re-release editions.
    There are no backing tracks used in this video. All guitars are played by myself / drums and bass programmed.

    the best carcass riff is from necroticism, from 00:00 to 48:03. the album is a riff machine with some speeches in between

    • @Nymphibious
      @Nymphibious 4 місяці тому +2

      I love everything that Carcass ever made, but Necroticism always makes me experience the same feelings from when I first listened to it. By far my favourite Carcass album and one of the best metal albums ever \m/

      And Bill is a really nice dude. Met Daniel and Bill the last time Carcass came through. Made my day for sure. Had a record and a CD with me and Bill took it on the tour bus and the whole band signed my record and CD even though they hadn't woken up yet. Effing cool band been a fan since I first heard them around 93ish

    At 17, in 1989, I was one of 3 people that I knew who loved grindcore.
    Carcass was the band for me.
    I had to wait until I was 47 before I finally got to see them in El Paso Texas.
    Not only did I start that pit, I kept it going through the entire Surgical Steel set.
    It was like I was 17 again and not an old man.
    There's no other band except maybe Aborted who gets me that pumped up

    Awesome! I've had the fortune of going to several of their concerts. In one of them I got to see the show right from the stage sitting on one of the PA side speakers, I thought at some point security or someone from the band's crew was going to tell me to go down to the floor but nobody said anything to me. Bill Steer the closest to me, like 3 meters away. It was great.
