Carcass‘ “Surgical Steel” has taken home top honors from Decibel Magazine, having been named their 2013 album of the year. You can purchase that issue here.
The bands Jeff Walker said of the distinction:
“Well I know you Americans spell colour as ‘color’ and we say tomato and you say tomayto, but looking at my watch I still make it the 22nd of November 2013 and I’ve just been informed that Surgical Steel is album of the year in Decibel. Are you guys running on a different calendar or something or is this simply East Coast time?
Seriously, for a band that has NEVER won ANY awards and once scored ZERO out of 100 in Metal Forces Magazine for our second album, we have come a long way. Let the backlash begin. Thanks to Albert Mudrian (editor) and J. Bennett and all our chums who have championed CARCASS foolishly for the last decade or so.
It is comforting to know that corruption and nepotism and self-serving interests are running as rampant down the halls of Arch Street as much as they are up on Capitol Hill. In a roundabout way what we are trying to say is (cough), ahem – thank you.”
If you missed the previous news, Carcass are also hotly tipped to headline the magazines coming Spring tour.
