MARKING 30 YEARS OF AUTOPSY & PEACEVILLE, THE DEATH METAL MASTERPIECE FROM THE US GORE
LEGENDS PRESENTED ON LIMITED PICTURE DISC VINYL FORMAT
One of the early breed of US death metal acts, Autopsy formed in 1987 in San Francisco, & released 4 albums on
Peaceville Records - beginning with the classic debut Severed Survival in 1989 - before disbanding in 1995, with members
going on to form Abscess.
Autopsy triumphantly & officially returned from the grave after a 15 year hiatus with the 2010 EP, ‘The Tomb Within’. This
was followed by the release of the band’s fifth studio album, Macabre Eternal in 2011, to great acclaim, as the band
celebrated a new era of popularity and creativity which continues to this day, featuring the same core trio of Chris Reifert,
Eric Cutler, & Danny Coralles.
Mental Funeral was Autopsy’s second studio album of brutality & depravity - originally released back in 1991. The album
is rightly hailed as one of the greatest death metal albums of all time with its twisted structures & raw production. Over the
years Autopsy has remained a highly influential act to a whole generation of bands such as Darkthrone, Entombed &
Bloodbath.
This limited picture disc vinyl edition of Mental Funeral contains the iconic original Kev Walker cover artwork in special cutout
sleeve, & marks the 30 year anniversary of the band as well as the Peaceville label.
