Live concert of Carcass at the Hellfest Open Air in Clisson, France, on 20 June 2026, filmed and broadcast by ARTE Concert. Returning to the festival after several years away, the British pioneers of death metal and grindcore spotlight the anniversary of their classic Necroticism — Descanting the Insalubrious. Led by founding members Jeff Walker (bass, vocals) and Bill Steer (guitar), the band delivers a full set built for the Altar stage, between blast beats, slicing guitar harmonies and the careful production typical of ARTE Concert captures. This filmed live concert conveys both the brutality of the material and the technical precision that made the Liverpool group’s reputation. For extreme-metal fans, this Hellfest 2026 performance is a reference document: multi-camera footage, controlled sound and a set spanning several decades of the band’s career. An ideal capture for reliving one of the metal highlights of the French festival’s 2026 edition, and a fine entry point to the band’s influential extreme-metal catalogue.
