Heartwork

|
Heartwork is an album by Carcass, released through Earache Records in 1994. The album was recorded at Parr Street Studios between May 18 and June 21 1993. Heartwork was Carcass' breakthrough album due to its use of more conventional song structures, increased use of melody in the riffs, and less opaque lyrics (according to one review, they could be translated using a conventional dictionary -- the band's use of medical terms had earnt them some infamy by then).
The sculpture depicted in the cover art, "Life Support 1993", was designed by H.R. Giger. The video for the song "Heartwork" features the sculpture.
Michael Amott left the band after the recording of the album, and was temporarily replaced by Mike Hickey.
