Autopsy - Severed Survival

#FOR FANS OF: Death/Grind
This release is the ultimate in death metal history! What's not to like on here?! The guitars, drums, vocals and sound quality are top notch for a 1989 release. No other album that they've done reaches to this standard in death metal. Chris is KING on vocals and drums. You don't find many drummer/vocalists in metal. Mick Harris did a little of it in Napalm Death but I haven't heard any metal guy that does both simultaneously. Chris pulls it off on stage as well. Saw Autopsy last year and wow they played till 1 o'clock in the morning! This album tops their latest 'Morbidity Triumphant'. I felt that it wasn't as good enough of an effort as their debut here.

Chris played on the first Death LP and he was good there as well. Another thing that's good about Autopsy is you can hear the bass guitar. It's prevalent on here throughout. Not into the writings but the music on here is totally original and intense. Some people say that they're the best death metal band ever. I don't agree, but this one is hard to top. It's just so underground and the riffs are top notch. I love the vibe of this it's totally evil and death defying. They've had a good career in metal and they're still going strong! The leads on here are crazy and well executed. A good boon to this release. Top notch lineup!

The production quality here is definitely giving this debut quite a specialty in the death metal genre. They knew what direction they were going with this and stuck to it. Some slow riffs, some faster and wholly uncompromising!

The vocals by Chris were excellent. What a solid effort. He put his heart and soul into this. Some of my favorite songs include "Charred Remains", "Ridden With Disease", and the title track. Take a listen! (Death8699)
