The genre-defining 1988 debut album, Reek Of Putrefaction shocked the metal world upon its original release, from its controversial cover art to the sickening lyrics. Available once again after many years out of print, Reek Of Putrefaction is the fourth of the five CARCASS albums to be reissued and is out now as a limited edition DualDisc (combined CD and DVD) housed in a deluxe digipak with extra artwork. It includes 13 unreleased bonus tracks from the Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment demo, along with part 1 of a mini-documentary series entitled The Pathologist's Report as bonus video material, all specially packaged in a white medical bag which conceals the shocking original cover art.

The documentary consists of interviews, filmed in London and Liverpool at the end of 2007, featuring the members of CARCASS - KEN OWEN, BILL STEER, JEFF WALKER and MICHAEL AMOTT - exploring their humble beginnings and lifting the lid on the controversy that brought the band to a wider audience.
