The title should be why is carcass so good at writing about surgery.
I see your a man of cutler
I love carcass but the lyrics are gibberish
@@mattberg6816 it's death metal you are not suppose to know the lyrics
@@doomslayerplushie6662 No, he is saying they use the medical terms wrong. Like they are just saying the words just to seem brutal/and or smart.
@@GDCDGC like cranium crushing endoscopy
Tom Araya: “Surgery with no anesthesia.” Thats so Metal, No wonder metal bands stuck with it
Brutal 🤘🏼
Without Anesthesia how am I gonna get my teeth pulled.
Metal is not about Satan it's about doctors
Demonic doctors?
Metal is about metal though.
@@NovatrihardianPramuditya yeah I also love to listen to gold
@@casperk7310 what about copper though
@@casperk7310 please don't say that you guys never listen to fever. it's so sick!
Because I was stabbed in the face and have a titanium upper jaw now, so the surgery has made me into a metalhead.
Getting stabbed in the face is pretty metal by itself
Bruh, if that's true, that's hardcore!
Way to be. Makes a great story with a humorous twist.
I think you're an extreme metalhead
Carcass is better at english than my english teachers
Cutting edge English precisely
Thanks to Carcass I learned what the term "purulence" means.
Thanks to carcass as a teen, I learnt the difference between putrefaction and purification
well, cuz they are English
Check out county medical examiner's if you like carcass. Their dope as shit.
Crash course in brain surgery was released in the 70s I believe by Budgie
That was my first thought as well
He said he used his brain & Google, no wonder nothing showed up.
Best title ever.
@@CodyDecay Hilarious, but c'mon!
how could you miss it! even metallica covered it
I'm so glad you mention Carcass... I used to read their lyrics when I was in high school and showed it to my friend who is medical student... he told me these guys know biology
Lol I think I'll go to a carcass fan if I need a surgery now
Doctor: Rest assured that I am highly qualified. I spent years in medical school, so you're in the best of hands.
Me: But are you a metalhead?
Doctor: Uhh...no.
Me: Guess I'mma have to remove this spleen myself then.
fake healer \m/
Well, I am a medico and a metalhead.......
I'm a metalhead but I would never want my surgeon to be a metal head
Wanna play a drinking game: every time graham says Doctor/surgery take a shot
You'll be wasted 🤣
You'll need a doctor then
I did. Now I'm on the table!
This is one of the strangest videotitles
Loudwire: all genres of metal help with mental help
Funeral doom band: allow us to introduce ourselves
They help you to kill you re self that kinda help you mentally if you think abou it
I thought he'd never mention forced gender reassignment.
Banger song
@@Slammansam i can't wait to forcefully feminise Graham Linehan
I'm a Surgeon and a metalhead this video made me very happy!
Same❤
Because it has a lot of blood and dissection
Surgery, with no anesthesia!!
Feel the knife pierce you intensely
@@rockaddict3744Inferior!, no use to mankind
Strapped down screaming out to die!!
Angel of death
Fuuckinng SLAAAYERRR!!
Because surgery instruments are made of METAL 😎
*DOCTOR DOCTOR DOCTOR DOCTOR DOCTOR*
Doctor of puppets is cutting the strings
Mikayla Lyanne twisting your mind and smashing your bones
Its a very metal thing, opening someone up and rearranging their still living organs.
2:33
Am I the only one that heard the Slayer Lyric as if he was singing it but was actually just reading
the lyrics. that’s how good the musical phrasing of that lyric is. damn it’s good!
surgery: exists
Metal: i n t e r e s t i n g
better question would be why is metal so obsessed with medieval fantasy
Because we are nerds
Dio was obsessed with that stuff!🤘🏻
Its cool
That’s just power metal and black metal
Becoz.... Ronnie James motherfucking Dio!
Explain the evolution of the power ballad
Getting chicks.
This had been something I’ve been wondering. Thanks for this video Loudwire. I enjoy these 50 years of metal videos
Severed survival. What an incredible album.
"Why is metal so obsessed with surgery?"
*proceeds to not find any song about surgery*
Did I watch a different video?
Ikr?
@@mwaoh8726 - This video is a clear example of Loudwire running out of ideas and trying to give the idea that they found something about Metal that no one has ever noticed. And of course, the word "obsessed" is clearly exaggerated, as the video itself proves.
I have to say I work in a Kitchen, and when we are in the busiest part of the night, and we have music on if Slayer or megadeth or Something heavier comes on It's like chugging 5 redbulls. The energy boost is enormous. And the Faster the music the faster food goes out of the kitchen. So genres like Thrash, speed, and power metal are great in high stress situations. Some death and other genres can be good, but they very from song to song
That autopsy severed survival is a badass cover with the zombie surgeons I still can’t find a big back patch of it
Using this as a procrastinatory excuse, rather than actually studying for my surgery finals
you guys should show more new bands, think it would be pretty cool to hear about nearer bandds
Search for bands yourself. Plenty of playlists and bands to Google. Look for new bands on Metal Archives while you're at it.
“Joined together, joining heads, just a matter time till you rip yourself apart”.

apple: *appears*

How the hell do you not Mention Venom's 'Surgery'? The best fucking song in the genre!!!! WACK!!!!
“Call them a crepitating bowleversion”
I see Autopsy, I click
Last time I was this early Korn premiered You'll Never Find Me
Great video man
Just like Twisted Sisters song- Under the Blade which was about Dee's mates heart surgery.
Loudwire: This video
Me in quarantine: InTrEsTiNg
God damn it I’ve watched 4 of these trying to finish a cup of coffee. I really need to get my day started.
Listened to cannibal corpse's inhumane harvest, now were here!
Inbound for an open heart in a week. Recalled this video and hot damn was it worth a trip back to. Gotta jam me some Carcass, Cattle Decap etc before the big day
great research my dude! awsome piece
Love metal will always remain in my heart ❤️
1971 budgie - crash course in brain surgery. To name one song about surgery within the metal genre of the 70s.
i listened to carcass in the prep room before i went I had shoulder surgery. Didn't realize the surgeon might was probably listening to them while doing the job.
I know I do 😈
Make a video about "why metal id obsessed with diseases"(plauge leprosy and stuff)
"Loudwire asks the dumbest question ever"
Title fixed.
Well you know, they do get that wrong sometimes.
"Fears they may wake up dead" I mean sure
Do a video on NSBM, the most controversial subgenre of Metal to ever exist.
Let's keep the yuppies and beginners who only listen to the basic bands that get radio time in the dark on controversial topics. Nobody wants a SJW to write articles on how "offensive" and "racist" metal music is after listening to one NSBM song.
Damn Itmike NSBM is cringe coming from someone who listens to extreme shit
Casual metal heads 😂 you mean people with good taste, jobs and girlfriends?
Danny Dircio Oh please, you think you’re more special because you’ve found a band you think is more edgy than others and you want to flaunt it? That’s a game for the immature and insecure. The rest of us welcome everyone into the metal fold, the more the merrier. We may love to argue about the taxonomy of metal bands, but that’s just because we are all geeks at heart.
@Danny Dircio you realize you posted this in front of people that just watched Loudwire just like you.... Im confused.
For something medical that actually scares people, maybe someone should write an album about dentists?
Lol I wonder how far that genre would go
Aaahhh, you forgot Type O Negative. Anesthesia, Life is Killing Me, Angry Inch. All inspired by Pete's experience with the hospitals and medical system. And I have a TON wore scrubs for that tour.
Imagine being operated on under the conditions of that experiment. I wouldn't want to "see how the doctor performs" under experimental conditions.
Great question!
Nobody can beat Kpoop's obsession in surgery

Autopsy is my favourite death/doom metal band, love the thumbnail. Autopsy are still live and kicking til this very day.
i feel like it started with Carcass then exumed and nowdays the bands that are obsessed with surgery are slam bands.
Nice Colors poster!
Everytime i see a new loudwire episode I always hope its Graham😅❤
Metal: I am obsessed with surgery
K-Pop: Hold my scalpel because
bloodbath - bathe in blood
bloodbath - soul evisceration
Both GREAT Death metal songs about surgery
I wish that grahammer had his own channel instead of loudwire
Impaled, heavily inspired by Carcass, took the concepts of using formal terms and medical terminology to describe malicious, gory procedures/occurrences with such specificity and really cranked up the surgery vibe on their sophomore album 'Mondo Medicale'. The album was even banned in 84 countries due to the cover art being highly realistic disfigurement (which I believe was a band member or affiliate. their debut album features a dudes legs near a toilet with his pants down, intestines shat out, for which they went to a butcher shop and got animal viscera for photo-realism), as opposed to the usual hand-drawn/computer-illustrated art.
They have several topics, beginning the album with a track arguing the 'do no harm' oath, professing misanthropic ideals, then moves into a song about 4 INFECTED HOSTS TOURING THE WORLD AND SPREADING THEIR PLAGUE. Another song boasts about extremely passionate medical malpractice, eventually leading to their own death via capital punishment. More satire than any band I know of [at least of those possessing a respectable level of musicmanship]. They use samples on their first album, but otherwise, are involved in their own skits. There is a music video for the 4th track 'Operating Theater' on UA-cam. The whole album is listenable on UA-cam in low-fi. It's not on Spotify, so either get the CD or download it to properly honor their excellent, oftimes harmonizing riffing, grindy drums, multi-vocalists, and like Carcass - poetically-named guitar solos.
Crash Course In Brain Surgery is the best surgery song of all time.
Holy shit...General Surgery! I still have that 7"!
Awesome Severed Survival pictures
Under the blade
Dr. Feelgood
Calling dr. Love
Somebody get me a dr
So many good songs
So basically just because? I mean, mostly because of the Carcass influence, and they did it because of Walker's sister. I kinda expected some other *psychological* explanation linking metal to interest in medical terms, other than "yeah sound brutal, dude". I've always asked myself the same thing, "sound brutal af, but why that obsession?". *So here's my own analysis:*
Just like Slayer, many bands were trying to sound as gore as possible, in the most realistic way possible, because the genre came from bands like Black Sabbath and Misfits and those bands wanted to be the musical version of horror movies, so another step further asides speed, lower tuning and growling, was doing what horror movies do to be scarier: be realistic. And while Jeff Hanneman realized he could make a bigger impact writing in a documentary-like way about killers and crimes, Jeff Walker saw that he could write gorier lyrics with fancy medical words, 'cause he was doing the same thing movies do - and this is where the psychology of it comes in:
They use technical words that a lot of people don't understand because we're scared of what's unknown, but also in a context in which we know that it's something we definitely don't want to be part of, that is painful, repulsive, unthinkable as part of our actual realities. And that makes it scarier, since not only we don't want it to happen to us, we also don't completely know what it means, we just know it will hurt to death. Second, because it's scientific terms so in our brains, it's realistic, it's existent, so to top the first point, it could happen, it's not just some zombie shit. The realistic aspect could be applied to most things about serial killers and crimes, but when using surgical terms, it's also something we could have no control over, it's hospital stuff... we can just run away from someone chasing us but we all need to go to the hospital sometimes, right? And some people need to be under the scalpel, it's something that happens and that a lot of people are also afraid of. PLUS it sounds gory as hell because that's the area of medicine that works doing all the things those fucked up killers also do: open people up, cut through skin and flesh, all of the blood involved, removing organs, etc.
So it's a mixture of things combined that trigger a lot of fears at the same time, a lot of issues that go against our instinct of survival and that we're hardwired to feel vulnerable to.
It's not 70s metal, but I think it applies, Lady Godiva's Operation by Velvet Underground is from '68 is a dark song about surgery, kinda proto-metal.
Because its brutal.
Ever heard of the county medical examiner's? Their fuckin rad. Best carcass clone ever.
Oh shit yeah you mentioned them. I love those guys. Their good dudes.
I only know of the esoteric whale surgery
“Now you’ve sewn them”.
To see the government scrutiny of music back then, compared to today, is a great thing. Music is still being banned all over the world.
Because most metal artists have a bad or fairly bad childhood. So it's a physical manifestation of their pain. Think it's in the job description. Metal is by far the best type of music.
Haha this video was great guys. I've kinda always wondered this as well. Sometimes I'm tempted to go in the direction with my own lyrics but I think it's been overdone.
Tourniquet uses a lot of surgery metaphors. It’s unfortunately a christian band, but the music itself is fucking great. Basically all the song titles from their 3rd album, Pathogenic Ocular Dissonance, are medical references.
Ahahaha, I've been jammin to Autopsy for the last week.
Guessing dissection, blood, and maybe possible of removal of something.
SEWN! Back together WRONG! Back together - Dethklok
Twisted sister!!!
“Surgery with no anesthesia, feel the knife pierce you intensely...”
-Tom Araya, Angel of Death
Yeah... I’m deathly afraid of getting surgery, because I feel like I’ll wake up during the middle of it and feel everything.
I was 10 when I first heard that song and didn’t even cringe at the lyrics.
Kev Walker also does art for the
CCG Magic:The Gathering.
A 70s metal song about surgery would be ‘Crash Course in Brain Surgery’ by Budgie
Loudwire does not need to be the represented of the metal community. I have seen hate comments said from them on Instagram, sarcastic and snobby remarks to fans on their page, and now this which makes absolutely NO sense at all... We don't need loudwire to represent us.
Does anybody know what that big metal ring around the surgeons eye do
Cause we’re nerds 🤓. Or Hannibal Lecter fanatics... still he was a nerd too, a sexy one.
Budgie released crash course in brain surgery in 1974.
You should've included Doctor Rock, by Motorhead, for the trifecta.
lady Godiva's surgery by velvet undergrounds-1968
I like blood
edge
Blood, gore and guts
I love the dead.
wouldn't Crash Course in Brain Surgery from 1971 by Budgie be one of the first
Its all about the blood, guts, pain and being a badass. Rock on 🤘
Hmmm...Only carcass is obsessed with surgery.
P.S: Oh FUCKING CARCASS I LOVE ITT
You didn't mention the band that is "Surgery" lol
Cannibal Corpse "Staring Through The Eyes of the Dead". Nuff said.
I Fucking Love Carcass!
Other great goregrind bands are Impetigo and Rompeprop. Sadlly they both stopped.
The title should read "death metal" - traditional metal bands don't sing about surgery very often.
I loved this - I guess I’m one of these “clones” too for being into the gore metal part of it
