Symphonies of Sickness is the second album by the British grindcore/death metal band Carcass. It is released on Earache Records, in 1989.

The progression of the band's style since Reek of Putrefaction is evident, with Bill Steer's guitar technique improving, Jeffrey Walker's bass and lyrics becoming much more prominent in the mix and Ken Owen managing to change his style of drumming completely, implementing a new style of double-bass drumming absent from the band's earlier offerings.

The original CD released contained 16 bonus tracks taken from the Reek of Putrefaction album.

The album was reissued in 1996 with a censored outer cover proclaiming "Original album artwork inside".
