If you're an Autopsy fan like I am, then you're in for a great fall season! Autopsy is set to drop a four-disc set called After The Cutting on November 13, which will feature b-sides, classics and rare tracks from the band's career, as well as a new album called Skull Grinder on November 27! Skull Grinder will only be released on vinyl in November with a CD version coming in 2016, though the album will be released on CD as a part of the After The Cutting set as well… which sounds confusing but it isn't.
Here's what the band had to say about the whole ordeal!
"We at Autopsy HQ are pleased to have the opportunity to once again torture your minds and ear holes through the medium of recorded brutality.
"The band went back to Fantasy Studios in Berkeley in late July to record a brand new release called 'Skull Grinder'. Musically, it's just what you'd expect from us; no style changes, wimpouts, sellouts, 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.
"In case that isn't enough to bring the taste of bile into the back of your throat, let it be known that there is also a four-disc set on the way titled 'After The Cutting', packed with hours of horrifying music, cover art from none other than Kev Walker as well as an extensive book written by Dennis Dread, riddled with interviews, photos and other assorted uncleanliness. The release date for both of these monstrosities is slated for this coming November. More details are forthcoming…"
Honestly, I think it's great the band is giving fans a whole shit ton to listen to. If you've got all these tracks sitting around, why not give 'em out?
