a lot of times people forget the UK's Carcass's Jeff Walker (bass, vox) and original drummer Ken Owen. That band really did usher in a new type of extreme metal groove with the double bass drum really mimicking the riffs, that is used widely today. Like Pantera they also "all hit together like a machine" as Vinnie said once. very enjoyable and severely underrated. Unfortunately a few years ago Ken was stricken by a severe stroke but fortunately he lives today and is still close friends with Jeff and making music in his own computer-assisted ways.
If you like metal then repeat three times loudly after me "Ken Owens Kicks Arse!"

The first two tracks here are must-listens, the third is an awesome bonus one. tracks are from '96, '91, '93 respectively.
