Necroticism – Descanting the Insalubrious is the third album by British extreme metal band Carcass. It was released on 30 October 1991 through Earache Records. This album is the first to feature guitarist Michael Amott and marked the first time Carcass had recorded as a four-piece. Many of the tracks describe economical ways to dispose of dead bodies.[2] Necroticism continues the move towards a predominant death metal sound which was started in Symphonies of Sickness, featuring songs with longer sections and complex structures, more akin to the then-burgeoning technical death metal subgenre.[1]

Release

Necroticism was originally released on 21 October 1991 through Earache Records. The album was re-released in 2008 as part of an ongoing series of Carcass reissues, to tie in with their reunion. The main album is presented as one side of a dualdisc, while the DVD side features the third part of an extended documentary titled The Pathologist's Report Part III: Mass Infection, and a 23-minute interview with Walker and Amott from 1993, recorded on the Gods of Grind tour. Later editions of the reissue contain the album on a CD and the documentary on a separate DVD. Also included in the reissue is a set of four art cards. The reissue is presented in a 12-panel digipak with full lyrics and artwork.

Musical style

Ken Owen and Jeff Walker, in The Pathologist's Report Part III: Mass Infection, call this a progressive death metal album and not, as others said, grindcore.[3]

[es] Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious

Necroticism - Descanting the Insalubrious es el tercer álbum de la banda inglesa de metal extremo Carcass, originalmente lanzado en 1991 por Earache Records. Podría ser descrito como un álbum conceptual, ya que muchos de los temas describen formas sencillas de deshacerse de cadáveres ("Pedigree Butchery", por ejemplo, propone utilizar los restos humanos como alimento de mascotas, "Carneous Cacoffiny" expone su utilización como instrumentos musicales y en "Inpropagation" los restos son utilizados como fertilizante). Es el primer álbum de la banda en el que participa el guitarrista sueco Michael Amott.
