2022'S GUT-POUNDING BOUT OF SUPREME SICKNESS FROM THE US DEATH METAL LEGENDS, PRESENTED ON MID-PRICE CD.
Since first bursting onto the death metal scene with the now genre classic 'Severed Survival' back in 1989 & following up with the equally revered 'Mental Funeral' album, the influential US quartet has carved an unwavering legacy over three decades as masters & purveyors of the vile sides of the extreme metal spectrum. 2022 marked a reinvigorated return for Autopsy, presenting the first new full-length studio opus since 2014's 'Tourniquets, Hacksaws & Graves' with 'Morbidity Triumphant'; a savage offering of brutal death, showing the US legends still had an unbridled hunger for the sadistic, never reluctant to step beyond the threshold of decency.
'Morbidity Triumphant', the band's eighth album, is truly a dark delight for seasoned & new listeners alike, with a raw organic sound perfectly encapsulating what makes Autopsy so distinguishable among its peers, for what could easily be considered one of its strongest offerings to date, as evidenced by its high praise from fans & critics alike upon release.
The driving force of Autopsy as ever is the virtuoso guitar pairing of Eric Cutler & Danny Coralles, effortlessly trading off their schizophrenic leads & switching from all-out death metal madness to groove-laden heavy doom, with unmistakable drum/vocal legend Chris Reifert being master of proceedings, spewing his own infinitely creative maniacal musings. 'Morbidity Triumphant' also notably marked the first album to feature new bassist Greg Wilkinson, currently also seen in "Static Abyss" along with Chris.
'Morbidity Triumphant' was recorded at Opus Studios, with long-associated engineer Adam Munoz at the helm. Mastering was completed by Ken Lee.
