Marking 30 years of depravity, the highly influential US death metal pioneers, Autopsy, return with the “Puncturing the Grotesque” mini-LP, containing 7 tracks of blistering sickness, and their first new material since the pulverising “Skull Grinder”, on December 15th, 2017, exclusively through the Peaceville store, here.
With the returning line-up of Chris Reifert, Eric Cutler, Danny Coralles & Joe Trevisano, Autopsy once more deliver a rancid concoction of slow brooding doom and high-octane metal madness injected with twisted solos and an overdose of vocal insanity.
“Puncturing the Grotesque” features a high-octane version of the none-too-subtly titled “Fuck You!!!”, originally known from 80’s West Oakland act Bloodbath (which once featured current guitarist Danny Coralles). Bloodbath US was a large inspiration for Autopsy in their formative years.
Recorded at Earhammer Studios (Violation Wound), in Oakland CA with engineering & co-production duties carried out by Greg Wilkinson. With the delightfully distasteful artwork comes courtesy of Dennis Dread (Darkthrone/Abscess).
Tracklist:
1. Depths of Dehumanization
2. Puncturing the Grotesque
3. The Sick Get Sicker
4. Gas Mask Lust
5. Corpses at War
6. Gorecrow
7. Fuck You!!!
Of the 30th anniversary of Autopsy, mainman Chris Reifert comments:
“30 years of Autopsy… how the hell did that happen? Seems like just yesterday but somehow a million years ago that a couple of degenerate teenagers formed this beast that still lumbers and lurches around the confines of the studio and the expanse of the world itself. It’s hard for us to believe too. Just don’t think we’re letting you out of the audio noose yet… we still have some of our sickest tricks up our sleeves for your horrific pleasure!”...
One of the early breed of US death metal acts, Autopsy formed in 1987 in San Francisco, & released 4 albums on Peaceville Records – beginning with the classic debut “Severed Survival” in 1989 – before disbanding in 1995, with members going on to form Abscess. Autopsy triumphantly and officially returned from the grave after a 15-year hiatus with the 2010 EP, “The Tomb Within”. This was followed by the release of the band’s fifth studio album, “Macabre Eternal” in 2011, to great acclaim, and the band has subsequently remained at the top of the death metal pile since. The full legacy of Autopsy was also recently extensively documented in the book/set “After the Cutting”.
