10 Most Anticipated Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Albums Of 2017
3. Carcass - TBA
Carcass may be the most adored melodic death metal band today. While melo-death inventors like In Flames and At the Gates have either changed their tone or seemingly fallen off the edge of the Earth, the British juggernauts are going strong after coming back from a 15-year-plus hiatus that starting in 1996.
Sure, they've only made one album since their 2012 return (that being the addictive Surgical Steel), but not only was that album a modern metal powerhouse, it also saw Carcass revived as a live band, and that's where their time and effort have been firmly placed for the past few years.
But the band seems to want the dry spell to end next year, as guitarist Bill Steer has been teasing lately that the seventh Carcass album will be hitting shelves soon.
According to him, the band wanted to really take their time with the record and make something worthy of their legendary lineage. And with a few years of refinement currently under its belt, the next Carcass record truly has the potential to be nothing short of staggering.
