It was released on June 10, 1996 in the UK for Earache Records. This album was intended to be their major label debut, having been signed by Columbia records following the success of Heartwork, but disputes with that record company left them to return to Earache. The album was re-released on 21 July 2008 as a dualdisc featuring the 5th part of The Pathologist's Report as well as a set of stickers in a digipak with the bonus track mentioned below.<BR/><BR/><BR/>About the album<BR/><BR/>Because Swansong continued the progression towards a more melodic style (beginning with Heartwork), it was not received well by all fans. However, the album gained Carcass many new fans, reaching No. 46 on Billboard magazine's Heatseakers chart.<BR/><BR/>The band had always shown a sense of humor in their song titles, and Swansong illustrated this with titles such as "Keep on Rotting in the Free World" and "Generation Hexed".<BR/><BR/>A limited edition of this album was released as a brain-shaped CD, with a bonus 2-track CD 'Somnus Pecunia Cibus'. The reason for the bonus disc was to include "Go to Hell", which wouldn't fit on the brain shaped CD (Made by Nimbus Manufacturing in Wales, UK) due to the 'cutting' into the disc required for the brain shape. This delayed the release of the disc by a week (originally planned for 3 June 1996, the same day as Metallica's Load), so an extra track, "Emotional Flatline" was included as an apology for the delay.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Track listing<BR/><BR/>1.
