Swansong is the fifth studio album by English extreme metal band Carcass, released on 10 June 1996 by Earache Records. It marks a musical shift for the band, moving into a death 'n' roll direction. It is the only Carcass album to feature guitarist Carlo Regadas, and the last to feature founding member Ken Owen on drums. The album received mixed reviews from critics. Swansong was intended to be the band's major label debut, having been signed by Columbia Records following the success of Heartwork, but disputes with that record company caused them to return to Earache. The album was re-released on 21 July 2008, as a dualdisc including the fifth part of The Pathologist's Report. It was the band's last studio release for over 17 years, until the release of Surgical Steel in 2013.
