Biography
Severed Survival, Autopsy's first LP, sounded like Scream Bloody Gore era Death, but the band adopted a doom metal influenced sound for the Retribution for the Dead EP. The next full-length, Mental Funeral, another death/doom album, was met with great critical acclaim.citation needed Having completed a successful European tour soon after Mental Funeral, the band reentered the studio to record the Fiend for Blood EP, which was followed by their third full-length, Acts of the Unspeakable. Autopsy's last album, 1994's Shitfun, was heavily influenced by hardcore punk and would prepare fans for Abscess, a project of Danny Coralles and Chris Reifert after Autopsy's demise in 1995.
Autopsy was featured in the 2005 music documentary Metal: A Headbanger's Journey when the film's narrator and star read aloud a verse from the band's song "Charred Remains."
