Why did /mu/ tell me this was bad?
>>129213773Because it is. Thankfully a much better melodic death metal album was released the very same year.
>>129213826shit's boring desu
>>129213773Don't listen to /mu/ posers, it's a classic for a reason
>>129213878Listen to the original mix, not the shitty remaster/remix.
>>129213826also
Because this board has shit taste and is completely infiltrated by zoomer niggers.
>>129213773Because their Goregrind stuff was kino.
>>129213773Contrarians like this nigga love pretending classics suck for some reason: >>129214241Carcass has no bad albums, not even mid ones, just heat after heat from them over (almost) 5 decades.
>>129214241and I can't believe I forgot>>129213978What is that reason?>>129214926It's not terrible, but it and Slaughter of the Soul are the speed/thrash-based, rock inflected kind of melodeath that was a regression from the DM-meets-HM synthesis which early MDM achieved and could have further refined. The SotS formula shortly was copied ad nauseam by later melodeath and metalcore acts because it was inherently simpler and more broadly appealing.
>>129215194That's true about SotS, but Heartwork is actually more of a Megadeth meets death metal type beat which has actually never been fully replicated in MDM since the album's release. It's a bit of a cult classic imo, kinda like Swansong, which also has a pretty distinctive sound which is pretty much unexplored to this day.
>>129215237>Megadeth meets death metalWhat Heartwork song sounds like Megadeth? Haven't heard it in a while so I'm intrigued by this comparison.
>>129213826EoS is mediocre AT BEST. Carcass mops the floor with them, though I'm a Swanö fan generally.
>>129214926>Carcass has no bad albumsEven Swansong?
>>129213773Who the fuck says Heartwork is bad? What kind of test-free faggot do you have to be? Carcass is one of the few bands with no really bad albums and a bunch of amazing ones, one of the amazing ones being Heartwork. I personally prefer Necrotism but Heartwork still fucking rips.
>>129213773Carcass is one of the only metal bands who managed to pioneer two genres
>>129216597Swansong is good
>>129213773How is that melo death? I thought melo death is just power metal + death metal?
>>129217253>power metal + death metalThat's just Children of Bodom
>>129217253Basically melodeath is just death + melodic guitars and harmonies and shit.
