Autopsy - Shitfun (1995)

The gore gods lower the tone for the final time and 'Shitfun', complete with excrement-noshing sleeve, will leave you wanting to shower for days. No-one does it better, gloomier or sicker than these guys - guitars sounding like sleazy dregs, drums are the bangs of the slaughterhouse door, and the watery vocals vomit from some long forgotten quagmire of ill ooze. I'm not sure you want to track titles - but you're gonna get them anyway - 'Fuckdog', 'I Shit On Your Grave', 'Blood Orgy', 'Maim Rape Kill Rape', 'I Sodomize Your Corpse', to name just a few of the twenty-odd gore-infested tracks on offer - oh the beauty of it all. Some will find such fetid noise a waste of time, others will understand the Autopsy phenomenon as something classic in a death metal sense. The 2003 reissue comes with an orgy of live tracks which are sure to keep the maggots in the coffin happy as they munch on your withered carcass.
