English extreme metal legends CARCASS have released an animated video created by Costin Chioreanu (OPETH, NAPALM DEATH) for a new single, "Dance of IXTAB (Psychopomp & Circumstance March No. 1 In B)", from their forthcoming 7th studio album, Torn Arteries, that's out September 17th from Nuclear Blast Records.
CARCASS' founding vocalist/bassist Jeff Walker describes "Dance of IXTAB (Psychopomp & Circumstance March No. 1 In B)":
“The song is a foot stomping festival anthem that will go unheard in an empty, vacuous, post covid world “stadium", where used Lateral Flow Tests blow around as litter in the breeze.”

Ferocious and uncompromising in their execution, CARCASS’s ability to intricately dissect the innards of death metal, and display them for us to sonically understand has been their point of excellence for over three decades. In 2019 the band released their first single in over 5 years “Under The Scalpel Blade”, followed by a 4 song EP entitled Despicable (October 2020), setting a potent precedent for the full length album coming in September: Torn Arteries. With the album title itself referencing an old demo created by original drummer Ken Owen back in the 80’s, Torn Arteries sits as a bookend on the modern side of the CARCASS discography, connecting directly back to where everything began over 30 years ago.
