''Reek of Putrefaction'' is the debut album by British extreme metal band Carcass. It was released by Earache Records in July 1988. It is considered the first release in the goregrind genre, which the band pioneered. Recording and production ''Reek of Putrefaction'' was recorded in four days at Rich Bitch Studios in Birmingham. According to guitarist Bill Steer, the studio's engineer "ruined" the record, especially its drum tracks.
