CARCASS - SWANSONG REISSUE DUALDISC OUT NOW IN EUROPE!

SWANSONG, the aptly-named final album from British death metal legends
CARCASS, has been reissued and is out now in Europe!

The classic 1996 album marks the recording finale of CARCASS, highly
regarded as one of the most inspirational death metal bands around, and is
the third of their five studio albums to be reissued. The SWANSONG reissue
comes fully remastered on a DualDisc (combined CD and DVD) in a deluxe
digipak with expanded artwork and a free sticker sheet featuring exclusive
CARCASS designs. It also includes part 5 of a mini-documentary series
entitled THE PATHOLOGIST'S REPORT as bonus video material, plus an
exclusive, previously unheard bonus track, "Deathrider Da".

The documentary consists of interviews, filmed in London and Liverpool at
the end of 2007, featuring the members of CARCASS - KEN OWEN, BILL STEER,
JEFF WALKER and MICHAEL AMOTT - who met up for the first time in ten years
and were filmed discussing in-depth the story behind the band's development
from their gore-soaked grind beginnings to the more refined, melodic moments
of their later output.
