'''''Dark Recollections''''' is the only studio album by Swedish [[death metal]] band [[Carnage (band)|Carnage]], released in 1990 by [[Earache Records]].  It was originally released as a split CD with [[Cadaver (band)|Cadaver]]'s debut album ''[[Hallucinating Anxiety]]'' by Earache Records sublabel Necrosis. Some of the songs were later re-recorded by [[Dismember (band)|Dismember]]. ''Dark Recollections'' is the only album released by Carnage; the band had broken up by the time the album hit the streets. It was later reissued by Earache Records with eight additional tracks, taken from the demos for ''The Day Man Lost''  and  ''Infestation of Evil''.

"Deranged From Blood", "Death Evocation", "Blasphemies Of The Flesh" and "Self Dissection" previously appeared on Dismember demos circa 1988–1989, before Fred Estby and David Blomqvist joined Carnage.  Dismember also officially recorded "Death Evocation" (a bonus track on reissues of ''[[Like an Ever Flowing Stream]]'') and "Torn Apart" (on the ''[[Pieces (Dismember album)|Pieces]]'' EP).
