Essential Bands - AUTOPSY
1987 saw Chris Reifert play drums on Scream Bloody Gore (by Death ), and then form Autopsy - presumably a good year for him, and certainly a good year for metal. Autopsy are one of the greats without a shadow of a doubt, and their influence has been considerable. The debut full-length (Severed Survival, 1989) is a stone cold classic: 1991's Mental Funeral is widely regarded as their finest hour: Not only did they release Mental Funeral in 1991, but also the mighty Retribution For The Dead single (which is included as a bonus track on some pressings of the album); and an excellent six track EP called Fiend For Blood: Autopsy releases are available from Peaceville , which has been the band's label since 1989. P.S. 1992's Acts Of The Unspeakable is also well worth picking up. And watch this space for another post/more posts, covering their output since reforming in 2010.
