(Metal Hammer) Carcass man Bill Steer says "it's not clear" if guitarist Ben Ash will appear on the band's seventh studio album. Ash joined the band following the release of 2013's Surgical Steel. And while praising Ash's work with the group over the past three years, Steer says he's not keen on "bringing in influences that are not within the scope of the band."
When asked by Dead Rhetoric whether Ash would contribute to a possible seventh album by Carcass, Steer says: "At this stage, it's not clear whether he will actually be on the record, in all honesty. What he does live works in that environment. Recording is putting everything under a microscope.
"If somebody's bringing in influences that are not within the scope of the band, it's going to be problematic. Ben's a killer guy and he works hard on his playing, but some of his favorite stuff is not our favorite stuff. If some of those things bled into our music, it would really dilute it, to be honest with you." Read more here.
