In a recent interview with Chile's
Radio Futuro,
Walker stated about the new
CARCASS
CD: "We think we've made a good album, so it's gonna be very
interesting when people get to hear the record. We can't wait to see
what people think."
He continued: "It sounds like
CARCASS. Even the drumming sounds like
CARCASS.
Everything about it… I think it's gonna shock people, how good it is. I
think it's got all the elements that people like, yet it still sounds
fresh. So that's all I can say, really, 'cause we don't really sound
like any other band, and the fact that after 17 years, we wrote music
and it still sounds like
CARCASS, I think it's good."
Regarding the direction of the forthcoming
CARCASS album,
Walker
previously stated: "We've taken stylistic cues from all the albums
because it's in our blood, but it's no rehash or mess of ideas. I think
it sounds almost like the missing link between the third and forth
albums but with some groove in there. I've jokingly christened some
parts 'trad blast' and some 'death sleaze'… don't think for a minute
this is just some nostalgic throwback album — we're setting up another
17 years of ideas for other bands to copy and clean up on. [
