Horror Metal icons Autopsy were just getting started in 1989, regurgitating 3 decades worth of gore soaked drive-in movies into a palatable stew of death metal. What this band lacked in musical adeptness they made up with vibe, atmosphere, and bludgeoning, unsubtle riffery. This band sounded like they came from the sex basement of your perverted uncle's sex basement. They sounded as if they really were the homicidal mutants they bellowed about, and had developed a refined taste for human flesh. There was just something unpretentiously artful about this kind of bestiality. Hard to put a severed finger on exactly what it was; perhaps the muddy production, the weird bass thud. Was it intentional? Whatever. All I know is that this album is a death metal classic and is still terrifying 22 years later. Now I'm going to put a razorblade dildo in your rectum and savor your screams almost as much as I do this monstrosity.
