Holy dogshit... still goin. I just finished ripping Symphonies of Sickness to my HD from the original banned cover-art version from like 91 or 92! That one was a classic. Of course the grindcore scene kind of died away in the late 90s, but Carcass kept up with cool modern metal in Heartwork.

I'll be checking this one out for sure - good lookin out LOtD... I would've missed this one! :strumma:
