Seems like Autopsy are making up for lost time, not that they have to. I may be in the minority on this opinion, but I've felt that Abscess turned into Autopsy back on the "Tormented" album. It was back then that the punk/speed aspects of the early Abscess releases faded away, replaced by the filthy death-sludge of Autopsy. (As a side note, Abscess had originally started to make its presence known as far back as Autopsy's "Fiend for Blood" ep) As it is, with an ep, a compilation, a DVD and three albums released over the last four years, Autopsy are vomiting forth the material like a bulimic at a casino buffet. All of it has been just as vile as ever, and the core trio of Reifert, Coralles and Cutler is still in full effect. Combined with stalwart Joe Allen on bass, the cadaverous quartet (no relation to the band of that name that hailed from Arizona -- for all you trivia buffs) are just hellbent on releasing metal as obscene and dirty as scat porn. In other words, it's business as usual with very little changed from their old classics. With a sound as twisted and churning as your intestines after a bad bean burrito, Autopsy still manage to make listeners as uncomfortable as ever... and we love them for it.
