Hard to believe that Carcass‘ rio roaring return to form was released way back in 2014. Universally acclaimed as a brilliant example of just what makes them the pedigree of the Death Metal breed the band have since been touring the world over but now perhaps the bloodied gears are getting ready once again.
Not one for rushing, which is a good thing in effect, Carcass might be beginning to work on their new record next year according to Bill Steer in a recent interview with Deadrhetoric. The guitarist states
“We’ve got a couple of festivals next year, so in other words: an enormous amount of free time. Once we get started, we work very quickly, especially with Jeff. Jeff’s got a real work ethic, so we’ll have something we feel is in very good shape to play to him, then he comes in and critiques that. It’s just like a distillation process. Sometimes it takes a while for a song to reach a point where we’re all happy with it, other times, it happens on that day. I think we should have an album that’s available by the end of the year [2017]. But I know how the industry has changed…so if it’s not happening, it’s not happening. We can’t really rush this. We don’t want to waste anyone’s time, including our own by putting out something substandard.”
Quite understandable really, as they always say, you can’t rush good art. I would imagine that we would be looking towards a September / October release next year if anything. Now we just have to wait…
