Hi folks! This week's album of the week is Carcass' sophomore full-length. This is tied for my favourite Carcass album with their next one. I have adored this album for years and think this is the progenitor of many deathgrind bands since. Let me know your thoughts on this album, as well as any memories you have of it. As well, feel free to mention your favourite song! Mine is Excoriating Abdominal Emanation.

Phenomenal. The older I get, the more I'm convinced that SOS is the best Carcass album.

Simply one of the greatest death metal albums ever recorded. Calling it seminal would be an understatement.
Picking a favorite track is tough, they're all fuckin awesome but tonight it's Empathological Necroticism.

Ruptured in Purulence is always a fun one.

Fantastic album. Mind-blowing at the time. My second favorite after Necroticism.

Killer album, go back and forth if it's my favorite Carcass or not. May have to toss that on later today because of this post.

It is, without a doubt.

It's definitely one of the all time best death metal albums. I think it's tied as my favorite Carcass album with Necroticism. Both are absolutely amazing.

As for a favorite track, it's hard to say because of how incredibly consistant, brutal and just plain catchy this album is. But if I had to pick just one, I think it would have to be Ruptured in Purulence, because of the iconic drum intro, with the bass groove joining in before the guitars and vox. It's a masterclass in dirty, raw, violent deathgrind that still manages to be catchy.
