Napalm Death / Carcass – Split Live CD (1988/2004)

July 24, 2024

A really cool split LP. Carcass stuff is very early, no pitchshifter FX on the vocals. Very primitive, proto-Carcass stuff. A good window into the early days.

Napalm Death stuff here is really cool to me because it’s recording in Cardiff here in Wales, back in 1988. The between-song banter (from Mick Harris, if I’m not mistaken?) references the Rhondda Valleys and the boys from Caerphilly, which is pretty funny to hear on a Napalm Death CD. Their set is lightening fast. Harris’ drums are the highlight of the recording but the whole band were on fire in 1988.
