But, I have to confess something - I never knew that Ruptured in Purulence was its own song - I always thought it only existed as an extended intro to the live version of No Love Lost. I always avoided those first two Carcass albums and now I feel like I've been shown up.
Heh, yes - I remember that from the "Wake Up..." compilation. The first Carcass album is a nasty, twisted little runt - not very good and, infamously, so
appallingly recorded that the band have never had any time for it - but it has to be heard to really see how staggering the band's evolution was over time. Symphonies of Sickness is top notch, though, and still my go-to slice of unreconstructed, putrid death metal. The lyrics genuinely terrified me as a teenager.
