Autopsy - All Tomorrow's Funerals (2012)

You can't argue with an Autopsy record that pulls together all of the bands' grotesque EPs, rarities and a new track or two. The vinyl versions of the EPs are pretty elusive so it's great to hear mouldy oldies such as 'Fiend For Blood,' 'Retribution For The Dead'. Twenty-two miserbale tracks, over seventy minutes of gory doom - any so-called death metal, gridcore, doom metal, or heavy metal fan should own at least the first two Autopsy records, but for some this ghastly style of metal is just a little bit too depraved. 'All Tomorrow's...' is wonderfully packaged but if like me you're a vinyl bitch then these guys are better on wax. For those of you not in the know about Autopsy then expect an almost dreary, gore-soaked experience that'll drag you into the grave and spit out your bones. Hard to pick favourite tracks because Autopsy have never really had a bad moment, and Reifert's gurgled screams are enough to make any death trooper grin. 'All Tomorrow's...' is a fetid record, best experience by eerie candle glow by the side of a freshly filled grave! Utmost horror in musical form! 8.5/10
