Autopsy - Severed Survival [CD]

<p><b> MID-PRICE CD EDITION OF AUTOPSY'S SEMINAL DEBUT OF HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL GORE-SOAKED DEATH METAL</b></p> <p><b> FEATURES THE ALTERNATE 'SURGEONS' COVER</b></p> <p> One of the early death metal acts, & no stranger to controversy over the years, Autopsy formed in 1987 in San Francisco, & released 4 albums on Peaceville Records before disbanding in 1995 & going on to form Abscess, only to re-emerge as Autopsy after an almost 15 year hiatus with the stunning 'The Tomb Within', as well as a string of successful releases following afterwards. </p> <p> The band features legendary drummer Chris Reifert, who began his recording career with US metal greats, Death, before taking on the unusual duty of handling drums & vocals for Autopsy, alongside longstanding riff-masters Eric Cutler & Danny Coralles. </p> <p> Autopsy has influenced a whole generation of extreme metal bands, from Entombed & Dismember to Darkthrone. 'Severed Survival' is (rightly) hailed as one of death metal's finest releases. A completely rotten & uncompromising sound full of dirty, sludgy, death & doom metal mixed with repulsive tales of death and disease, it was originally released in April 1989. </p> <p> This mid-price CD edition of 'Severed Survival' is presented in a jewel case with an 8-page booklet and OBI card, & features the alternate 'surgeons' artwork on the cover as well as the controversial original art in the booklet.</p>
