Welcome to Carcass Cuntry!
Jeff Walker (of Carcass infamy) has answered a question in his "Ask Jeff Walker" segment of Decibel Magazine (May 2005) regarding the not-yet-released country album on which members of (just to name a few) Amorphis, Finntroll, Napalm Death are featured.
Jeff: The working title for the (forth-coming album of country covers) is "Welcome to Carcass Cuntry" -- I wanted to record the most miserable, morose, whiskey-soaked, feeling-sorry-for-itself record ever. But somewhere along the line it went wrong and it's turned out quite "rock 'n' roll." I guess I'm an arrogant little cunt who figured he could take Gram Parson's vision of "Cosmic Music" and down tune it to dropped "B" and sneak a couple of blast beats in! So far musicians from HIM, Amorphis, Anathema, Napalm Death, Finntroll, To Separate the Flesh from the Bones, Ajattara, Shape of Despair, Verenpisara, as well as Bill Steer, Billy Gould, a fifteen-piece "orchestra," and my good self have contributed to it. It's all covers of country/country rock/folk -- the stuff really lends itself to a Sabbath approach, especially Hank Williams and Johnny Cash, which is pretty miserable and dark stuff anyhow. I guess if I described it as Sabbath meets the Pistols meets the Pogues meets E.L.O., I wouldn't be far off the mark. The vocals are a mixed bag ranging from the Jeff Walker style you all know and hate (i.e., a poor man's Mille from Kreator) to an almost Shane MacGowen/Tom Waits kinda "blues" thing going on, (translation: I sound like a drunken old fool attempting to karaoke), even some (shock, horror) "singing." So, basically it's a kid in a candy store scenario. I have free reign to include everything I've always wanted to, unfortunately this candy store only stocks sour "Jawbreakers."
