Carcass

Real Name:
William Geoffrey Steer, Michael Amott, Jeffrey Walker, Daniel Erlandsson
Profile:
Starting out as a three-piece, Carcass were one of Earache's grindcore flagships. they achieved most success with the addition of a second guitarist on 1992's "Necroticism" album. things started to go wrong for them after their first album on major label Columbia, "Heartwork", and they split up recording the album "Swansong".
Reformed for live shows in 2007 with Mike Amott back in as second guitarist. Since Ken Owen had suffered a brain haemorrhage and he is hence unable to perform the songs, Daniel Erlandsson of Arch Enemy was recruited as session drummer.
