According to an Interview, Carcass will be reuniting to play at Wacken Open Air Fest in 2008, minus Ken Owen of course whose health problems inhibit him from performing.

Carcass is considered the major inspiration and musical foundation for most gore metal and deathgrind/goregrind bands as well as being one of the founding fathers of melodic death metal.

The band was first known as Disattack, playing hardcore / punk back in 1985. After releasing their first demo in '86, their bass player left the band and Jeff Walker joined them after leaving Electro Hippies. By that time, they were also changing their name to Carcass, whose logo was drawn by Jeff Walker. Soon their drummer was replaced by Ken Owen and the singer by Sanjiv. Bill Steer also left Napalm Death in order to concentrate on Carcass.

Carcass started as a goregrind band, then moved to a death metal sound which evolved into their melodic death and heavy metal roots before their split. Their Heartwork album, released in 1993, is one of the first melodic death metal albums ever released.

Bill Steer moved into the stoner rock band Firebird (not to be confused with the 1978 NWOBHM band Firebird), Mike (and his brother) moved into the ranks of Arch Enemy. Jeff, Ken & Carlo formed the shortlived Blackstar after the demise of Carcass.

At the age of 28, Ken Owen had a brain hemorrhage, and was in a coma for almost a year. He was confined to a wheelchair for a time, but has since recovered and is playing drums again.

A UK edition of Bjork's "Isobel" single has a version of the song remixed by Carcass.
