This week’s episode explores the influence of two crucial bands, Destruction and Carcass. First, we let loose the German thrash metal assault of Destruction, and see how their satanic frenzy inspired later generations of death and black metal bands. Next, we trace the radical evolution of Liverpool grindcore originators Carcass, including their later evolution into melodic death metal and death ‘n’ roll territory. Tributes by Arch Enemy, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and The Black Dahlia Murder also feature. Know your Roots!
