AUTOPSY - Skull Grinder (LP)

Skull Grinder was originally released in 2016, and contained 7 new tracks of gut-wrenching death
metal delivered in the unmistakable Autopsy way, from members Chris Reifert, Eric Cutler, Danny
Coralles & Joe Trevisano. Recorded once more at Fantasy Studios in Berkeley, California, with Adam
Munoz, Skull Grinder perfectly captures the rancid essence of Autopsy in all its savage glory, with a
suitably dirty and organic sound mixed with brutal riffs, resulting in a slab of perfect and relentless
horror.
'Musically, it's just what you'd expect from us; no style changes, wimp outs, sell outs, settling down
or caving in. Add to that acknowledgement of the obvious, some of Wes Benscoter's sickest art yet to
(dis)grace the cover, and you have a new sledgehammer to the bowels with no apologies offered
whatsoever.' Chris Reifert
One of the early breed of US death metal acts, Autopsy formed in 1987 in San Francisco, and
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.
This edition of Skull Grinder is presented on black vinyl with a printed inner sleeve.
