Essential old school death metal, doom metal influences and all. Imagine Darkthrone playing My Dying Bride covers. Production is stellar.

Take note of the scream towards the end of In the Grip of Winter. The next full track on the album is also excellent.


Track: Severed Survival
Artist: Autopsy
Album: Severed Survival
Genre: Old School Death Metal
Sounds Like: Possessed, Death, Repulsion

Autopsy's debut album features a rawer production job and vocals reminiscent of Scream Bloody Gore-Era Death. Severed Survival is thrashier than Autopsy's sophomore effort, making it my favourite of the two. The lyrics somehow manage to escape the hilarious, sterile nature of death metal poetry by focusing on storytelling and well timed delivery rather than relentlessly pursuing the shock factor, although they were probably pretty twisted for 89'.

"Stranded alone on a barren island
No food to be found
Point of desperation
Shocking desicion on how to survive
Now it's time to break out the knife
First inscion the cut is complete
First source of food is one of your feet
Incredible pain as you cauterize the wound
Preparing yourself for a horrible doom"
