General Surgery - Corpus in Extremis: Analysing Necrocriticism
A 19-year career in Extreme Metal usually produces more than two LPs and a legendary EP, but quality is preferred over quantity anyway. And while 2007’s Left Hand Pathology lacked a little of said quality, Corpus in Extremis: Analysing Necroticism makes up for it big time. By infusing a touch of that Old School Swedish Death Metal into their Carcass-worshipping Grindcore assault, General Surgery have crafted an instant classic. Like Entombed freebasing Pathologist riffs, this album hits hard and dirty, short and quick. These are easily the best riffs they’ve ever written, and they haven’t sacrificed much if any of that gurgling ooze delivery. If veteran Swedes themselves can’t get away with robbing the Sunlight vault, who can? And it makes sense, after all, don’t forget the Carcass/Carnage connection. All I know is General Surgery finally sound like a band that once featured Matti Karki.
