As you can guess, this is quite a weird release. I was expecting Hank Williams III or Al Jourgensen (with his 666 Shooters) to release some sort of country-metal album first but Jeff Walker has beat them to it. It also seems like he has taken a pretty laid-back attitude and recorded what sounds like a collection of songs that a bunch of his metal friends captured during a night of rodeo, heavy drinking and square dancing. In other words, this is not any kind of ground-breaking country metal hybrid that could perhaps point other bands into a fresh new direction. Instead, what we get is some famous songs performed with a metal edge and multiple vocalists (although Waters' anti-melodic rasp dominates). The band is definitely more at home with the faster and more dynamic songs such as "I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" and the album closer, although the legendary ballad "Once A Day" also sounds decent in their rendition. This stuff is definitely fun to listen to but otherwise does not do much else for me.
In the end Welcome To Carcass Cuntry is more of a novelty album than a collection of meaningful songs. I suppose you can play it on some of those metalhead parties you go to, or perhaps to make your country-loving friends laugh.

hmmm this album shouldn't contain the word "carcass" on it, i think it can deceive record buyers into thinking this is an actual Carcass release... when is definitevely not remotely, vaguely similar to carcass

uhh...the HIM dude plays bass on this album? wow...yesterday I heard that Tim Yeung is touring with All That Remains, and now I hear that Ville is playing bass with an ex-Carcass member. Damn, the world really is going to end.

No idea how that ended up, but it was a pretty awesome thing to watch. Either way, it kinda speaks of his conviction, so I've learned to respect him for it. He just wanted to meet a band he idolized, talk to them and shit. Good effort.
