2021 full dynamic range re-issue on black vinyl with printedinnersleeve.

If Reek of Putrefaction was one series of brusque, quick, andbrute explosions after another, Symphonies of Sickness, as itstitle indicated, is something of a complex step up. None of thepower is lost at all, but thanks to a combination of crisperrecording and a desire on the part of the band to stretch thingsout a bit more — three- to five-minute-long songs and so forth —Carcass here play with their enjoyably ugly sound just enough.Thus, hearing a brief stab of synth strings and an actual sense ofspace in the opening title track might not be too much, but it´sstill quite a lot in context. But once the vocal growls and aquick, solid riff heralds another hyperspeed section of musical andvocal delivery, Carcass as they were initially known and lovedreappear in full effect. Nothing too much changes beyond theslightest of touches throughout Symphonies, but one notabledifference is that the lyrics actually sometimes come through, ifonly just. One of the best bits comes in the middle of"Empathological Necroticism" — in the middle of detailing anotherhard day at the office with crushed limbs and general evisceration,the working stiff hero of the piece admits, "Life is hard as amortuary technician." Given that the guy´s problems have to dealwith such things as pulped cerebellums mucking up his slab and theproblems of rigor mortis, it´s hard to disagree with the sentiment.An all-time Carcass highlight comes with the perfectly disgustingsecond number, "Exhume to Consume," which gives an all-new insightinto the joys of grave-robbing and, shall we say, feasting onpreserved meat. Then again, ignore the lyric sheet and just go nutswith some of the deepest male vocals ever recorded and overallfeedback doom crunch.
