Macabre Eternal by Autopsy

THE TRIUMPHANT FIRST FULL-LENGTH FROM THE REFORMED AUTOPSY IN 2011 “Always the dirtiest, most gruesome of all death metal bands. Astonishingly heavy, gloriously warped, sensationally sinister, thereis no one else that sounds quite like them” METAL HAMMER One of the early breeds 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 & officially returned from the grave after a 15-year hiatus with the 2010 EP, 'The Tomb Within', delighting critics & fans alike. Autopsy also celebrated this long-overdue return with 3 headlining festivals at Maryland Deathfest, PartySan & Hole in the Sky, featuring friend Dan Lilker (Brutal Truth, Nuclear Assault) on bass, where the band was met with a rapturous reception from older fans, as well as a new generation of rabid metalheads. Autopsy entered Fantasy Studios in February 2011 with Adam Munoz to record Macabre Eternal, the long-awaited fifth album, with the original trio of Chris Reifert, Danny Coralles & Eric Cutler joined by Joe Trevisano of Abscess/Von fame on bass to pummel the senses with more uncompromising death & disease. Following the band's 2017 mini-LP, 'Puncturing the Grotesque', and split 7" single with Bloodbath, 'Fuck You!!! / Blood Bath', their fifth studio album housing 12 tracks of brutality, disease & depravity.

California death metal thugs Autopsy have come back strong in the last couple of years.

9 / 10

I must admit that it is nice to hear an AUTOPSY album with a good production, especially since the sound clarity accentuates the amazing and underrated compositional skill of these reunited death metal godfathers. Though originality is no longer the focal point, "Macabre Eternal" is a phenomenal alb...
