Liverpool, England-based melodic death metal band Carcass have filmed a music video for the track ‘The Scythe’s Remorseless Swing’. Directed by Chris Marley, the clip can be viewed below.
Carcass issued seventh full-length album Torn Arteries on September 17th, 2021 through Nuclear Blast Records.
“I think as our seventh album, it does stand out from the others both sonically and stylistically,” said frontman Jeff Walker. “You can definitely tell that it’s Carcass; when you drop that needle on the vinyl, when you hear that guitar tone, you can tell it’s Bill Steer, but each album is always a product of its time.”
The album’s cover artwork was created by Zbigniew Bielak who traveled outside his normal wheelhouse to bring forth a time lapsed set of photos showing vegetables shaped like a heart, rotting over time upon a white plate. This form of artwork was influenced by Japanese Kusôzu, meaning: ‘painting of the nine stages of a decaying corpse’.
“It’s very clean, white, which we’ve never done before,” explains Walker. “It doesn’t look evil, or typically death metal, but I like how clean it is; almost like a coffee table book.”
