Carcass
with Deafheaven, Inter Arma
Sunday, Nov. 27, Majestic Theatre, 8 pm
Liverpool’s extreme metallers Carcass return to Madison for a headlining gig after opening for Slayer and Testament at the Orpheum in March. With a history dating back to 1985 (including a 12-year period of inactivity between 1995 and 2007), this is not a band for the weak of heart. Considered pioneers of so-called grindcore — an abrasive, corrosive mix of punk, metal and industrial — Carcass became known for gruesome lyrics and album covers. The band has toned down the gore over the years, but its latest album, 2013’s Surgical Steel, still includes song titles about cadavers and blood clots. With experimental black-metal band Deafheaven and Virginia headbangers Inter Arma.
$28 ($25 adv.). Doors 7 pm.
