The record


Title: Carcass - Heartwork
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1993, Melodic Death Metal, Death Metal, Extreme Metal, Liverpool, England 10/26
Matrix #: MOSH097FDR
Condition: New (LM) | Members: Carcass (N/A) | Producer: Colin Richardson
Cultural Facts:

  1. Giger on the Cover: The disturbing cover artwork uses H.R. Giger's sculpture Life Support 1993. Giger, famous for designing the creature in Alien, gave Heartwork an instantly recognizable visual identity that matched Carcass's move toward a darker, more refined sound.
  2. From Medical Gore to Melody: Carcass began with grotesque medical lyrics and grindcore chaos, with guitarist Bill Steer famously mining medical dictionaries for terminology. By Heartwork, they had largely abandoned that approach and helped establish the melodic death-metal sound that would influence countless bands.
  3. Michael Amott Left Afterward: Guitarist Michael Amott played a major role in the twin-guitar attack heard on Heartwork but left Carcass after the album. He later formed Arch Enemy, carrying the melodic guitar approach into another band that became central to modern melodic death metal.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
