Carcariass is a Swiss-French melodic / technical death metal band. The name Carcariass is taken from "Carcharodon carcharias", the great white shark.

History

Carcariass is a technical death metal band, formed in 1991 in Besançon, France, making them one of the elder bands of the French underground. [ [http://www.bnrmetal.com/v2/search.php?name=carcariass Carcariass @ BNR Metal Pages] ] The current line-up is Pascal Lanquetin (lead and rhythm guitar), Raphaël Couturier (bass and vocals), Bertrand Simonin (drums) and Jérome Lachenal (rhythm guitar; also of Your Own Decay).

In 1994, the band recorded its first five-track demo cassette, "Ancestral War", which gained the band a certain amount of recognition.Fact|date=July 2008 The band also played a number of gigs in support of the demo, most notably supporting Sadist on the March 1995 French tour. In 1997, the Carcariass recorded its first album, consisting of nine songs, entitled "Hell On Earth". By this time, the band had evolved from their earlier brutal death metal sound to a more technical and melodic style. They played a number of gigs around with local bands before supporting Cradle of Filth in Strasbourg in April 1997.

Carcariass followed up their debut in 1998 with their second album, "Sideral Torment", recorded at the Impuls Studios, Belgium with Stephan Kraemer and released through the Swiss label Impact Records. A third album, "Killing Time", followed in Spring 2002 through Adipocere Records. It was recorded at LB-LAB, near Lille, with Stéphane Buriez (Loudblast). Further touring involved playing with such high profile acts as Impaled Nazarene and Alastis through out France and Europe.

Since 2006, Carcariass has authorised the free download of their first two albums from their website. The band is currently composing new material for the next album that should be out by the end of 2008.
