Extreme metal's The Beatles, Carcass are one of the most important and influential bands in our world. This EP is a collection of four tracks that have apparently failed to meet the cut for next year’s highly anticipated new album (first in eight years). If this was a full album of the same quality as these four songs, it would sit firmly in my top ten. This is Carcass at their very best; ferocious, fearless and full of melodic driving riffs. If this is the shape of things to come, I think we can at this early stage call the race for next year's top album.
