Track list:
Side A: Captive Bolt Pistol
Side B: Intensive Battery Brooding
»Surgical Steel«, the band’s first studio release since their 1996 LP Swansong, was produced by Colin Richardson (NAPALM DEATH, BOLT THROWER, GOREFEST, CANNIBAL CORPSE, SINISTER, RODRIGO Y GABRIELA) and mixed/mastered by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ACCEPT, EXODUS, TESTAMENT). “We went back to working with Ian Tilton, who is an iconic English photographer famous for working with THE STONE ROSES,” stated frontman Jeff Walker regarding the cover artwork.
“He actually did the front cover for Necroticism… as well. We’ve deliberately tried to evoke the feeling of that album and Heartwork.” Joining guitarist Bill Steer and bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker in the band’s current incarnation are new drummer Dan Wilding (ABORTED, TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED) and guitarist Ben Ash (PIG IRON, DESOLATION, LIQUEFIED SKELETON). Expect some guest vocals from original sticksman Ken Owen as well, when Surgical Steel is finally released this Fall.

Reactivated British extreme metal pioneers CARCASS will embark a short intimate headlining North American tour this September in support of their upcoming sixth full-length release, “Surgical Steel”.
“Well, we thought we’d play a few small key shows, kinda like the vibe we had in London earlier this year,” commented CARCASS bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker. “Maybe we’re being a bit optimistic thinking we can fill these venues. Well, to make sure we do, we’re bringing along some old friends and bands who will probably blow us away.
“We’re too much of a bunch of tight wads to throw a record release party, so this is the closest you’ll get.
“Come on down, and bring your receipt with the new album purchase and demand a refund!”
Confirmed dates are as follows:
Sep. 21 – Mac Hall Ballroom – Calgary, AB
Sep. 23 – Reggie’s – Chicago, IL (w/ MACABRE)
Sep. 25 – Saint Vitus – Brooklyn, NY (w/ IMMOLATION)
Sep. 26 – Gramercy Theatre – New York, NY (w/ IMMOLATION)
Sep. 28 – The Troubadour – Los Angeles, CA (w/ EXHUMED)
“Surgical Steel” will be released on September 16 in the U.K., September 13 in the rest of Europe and September 17 in North America via Nuclear Blast Records. The effort was produced by Colin Richardson (FEAR FACTORY, MACHINE HEAD, NAPALM DEATH, SLIPKNOT, BULLET FOR MY VALENTINE) and mixed by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ACCEPT, EXODUS, ARCH ENEMY).
“Surgical Steel” will be made available in the following formats: CD, CD-Digi, Double-LP Black, Double-LP White and Nuclear Blast Mail Order Edition.
The “Surgical Steel” Mailorder Edition is limited to 666 units and is packaged as a first aid-kit.
Joining guitarist Bill Steer and bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker in CARCASS‘ current incarnation are new drummer Dan Wilding (ABORTED, TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED) and guitarist Ben Ash (PIG IRON, DESOLATION, LIQUEFIED SKELETON).
CARCASS‘ first studio LP since 1996’s “Swansong” will feature guest vocals from original sticksman Ken Owen.
In a recent interview with Chile’s Radio Futuro, Walker stated about the new CARCASS CD: “We think we’ve made a good album, so it’s gonna be very interesting when people get to hear the record. We can’t wait to see what people think.”
He continued: “It sounds like CARCASS. Even the drumming sounds like CARCASS. Everything about it… I think it’s gonna shock people, how good it is. I think it’s got all the elements that people like, yet it still sounds fresh. So that’s all I can say, really, ’cause we don’t really sound like any other band, and the fact that after 17 years, we wrote music and it still sounds like CARCASS, I think it’s good.”
Regarding the direction of the forthcoming CARCASS album, Walker previously stated: “We’ve taken stylistic cues from all the albums because it’s in our blood, but it’s no rehash or mess of ideas. I think it sounds almost like the missing link between the third and forth albums but with some groove in there. I’ve jokingly christened some parts ‘trad blast’ and some ‘death sleaze’… don’t think for a minute this is just some nostalgic throwback album — we’re setting up another 17 years of ideas for other bands to copy and clean up on. [laughs]”
According to Nuclear Blast, the disinterred British extreme metal legends, CARCASS will release the track `Captive Bolt Pistol´ from their highly anticipated sixth full-length album Surgical Steel on August 09, 2013. The single will be available digitally and on colored vinyl.

According to Nuclear Blast, the disinterred British extreme metal legends CARCASS have revealed the cover art for their upcoming sixth full-length release »Surgical Steel«. “We went back to working with Ian Tilton, who is an iconic English photographer famous for working with THE STONE ROSES,” stated front man Jeff Walker. “He actually did the front cover for »Necroticism…« as well. We’ve deliberately tried to evoke the feeling of that album and »Heartwork«.” The eagerly-anticipated album will be released on September 13 (Europe), September 16 (UK), and September 17 (North America).
»Surgical Steel«, the band’s first studio release since their 1996 LP »Swansong«, was produced by Colin Richardson (NAPALM DEATH, BOLT THROWER, GOREFEST, CANNIBAL CORPSE, SINISTER, RODRIGO Y GABRIELA) and mixed/mastered by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ACCEPT, EXODUS, TESTAMENT). Joining guitarist Bill Steer and bassist/vocalist Jeff Walker in the band’s current incarnation are new drummer Dan Wilding (ABORTED, TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED) and guitarist Ben Ash (PIG IRON, DESOLATION, LIQUEFIED SKELETON). Expect some guest vocals from original sticksman Ken Owen as well, when »Surgical Steel« is finally released this Fall world-wide.
CARCASS has released several classic albums over the years, including Decibel Magazine “Hall of Fame” inductees »Heartwork« and »Necroticism – Descanting the Insalubrious«, and their influence has changed the face of extreme metal with every consecutive release. Whether it was inventing gore-grind (i.e. »Reek of Putrefaction«, »Symphonies of Sickness«) or creating the template for melodic death metal (i.e. »Heartwork«), CARCASS has always made records by which bars were set and rules were broken. Upon the band’s dismantling in 1996, fans mourned the loss of the seminal act and longed that the group would return again one day. In 2007, the metal world got its wish as CARCASS reformed to play several sold-out reunion shows around the globe. Once again re-motivated to administer a shot of cynicism and infectious riffs into the arm of a sickly metal scene, founding members Bill Steer and Jeff Walker began writing what would become the latest output of their highly influential career, »Surgical Steel«. Only the choicest of cuts were made, and blood sweat and tears were shed to bring us a record worthy of the CARCASS legacy. In short, »Surgical Steel« is just what the doctor ordered.
