Autopsy

Holy fucking fuck! U.S. gore metal luminaries Autopsy have resurrected themselves and have a new EP coming down the pike.

Autopsy have finished recording their first tracks since officially reforming last year, which they’ll release as The Tomb Within with producer Adam Munoz behind the boards. The offering boasts five new songs of gore and depravity and drops September 27.

The band decided to make an official comeback last year after working together on two new songs for the special 20th-anniversary edition of debut album, Severed Survival, in late 2008. The band had split in 1995 before the release of its fourth LP, Shitfun. That’s a great band name if I ever heard one.

The songs on the EP include “The Tomb Within,” “My Corpse Shall Rise,” “Seven Skulls,” “Human Genocide,” and “Mutant Village.”

In a statement, the band said that they’ve “come to the solid realization that the time is now right to resume their mission of gore-soaked death metal brutality and to fulfill this mission with maximum intensity. Make no mistake about it, Autopsy is not about reliving the past, basking in nostalgia or riding on efforts from years long gone. The band is hungry to devour fresh minds and souls and has been amassing an arsenal of new and deathly material to unleash upon those who also hunger for such brutality. The surgical instruments are being sharpened and a pure death metal assault of the most horrific order is underway as you read these very words.”
