UMUR
"Under the Scalpel Blade" is a one-track flexi-disc single release by UK death metal act Carcass. The 7" flexi-disc single was given away with copies of the 4th of December 2019 Decibel Magazine. At that point it was meant to be a teaser release for the then forthcoming release of Carcass seventh full-length studio album "Torn Arteries", but it ended up being a teaser release coming out 2 years before the actual release of the album in September 2021, as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. Carcass opted to include "Under the Scalpel Blade" on the October 2020 "Despicable" EP release, which they ended up releasing as a stop-gap release, because they had to postpone the album release a couple of times.

Stylistically it´s one of the heaviest, fastest, and most old school death metal/deathgrind tracks on "Torn Arteries", and it´s an absolutely brilliant composition. It´s no wonder Carcass chose this as their first single for "Torn Arteries" and also released a promotional video for the track. A 4 star (80%) rating is deserved.
