Autopsy - Mental Funeral LP

One of the early breed of US death metal acts, Autopsy formed in 1987 in San Francisco, and 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. 

 

Mental Funeral was Autopsy's second studio album of brutality and depravity - originally released in 1991. The album is rightly hailed as one of the greatest death metal albums of all time with its twisted structures and raw production. Over the years Autopsy has remained a highly influential act to a whole generation of bands such as Darkthrone, Entombed & Bloodbath.
