"Captive Bolt Pistol" is a two-track single release by UK death metal act Carcass. The single was released through Nuclear Blast in August 2013. It was released to promote the release of the band´s September 2013 comeback album "Surgical Steel". "Captive Bolt Pistol" is featured as track number 10 on "Surgical Steel" and appears here in the exact same version as on the album. "Intensive Battery Brooding" is on the other hand an exclusive track, and obviously an outtake from the "Surgical Steel" sessions. It would subsequently be included on the November 2014 "Surgical Remission / Surplus Steel" EP, which features leftover tracks from the "Surgical Steel" sessions.
"Captive Bolt Pistol" is a fast, sharp, and brutal death metal track, which is reminiscent of the early- mid-90s output by Carcass. "Intensive Battery Brooding" is a heavy track featuring more traditional heavy metal elements. A 3.5 - 4 star (75%) rating is deserved.
