CALIFORNIA – The U.S. death metal legend, Autopsy, who recently served up the five hour epic DVD, Born Undead, has checked in on the run up to the recording of the band’s sixth studio album, due for release on Peaceville mid-2013:

“Greetings casket crawlers and gore ghouls! Autopsy is ready to bleed out a bit of news for all to gnaw on…

“2012 has been a hell of a year for the band, with the All Tomorrow’s Funerals album release, a string of insane shows throughout the world and the Born Undead DVD hitting the shelves.

“Adding to the insanity is the first official Autopsy sanctioned comic book titled ‘Feast for a Funeral’ out on Halloween 2012. More info on these releases can be found at: http://www.peaceville.com/autopsy/bornundead/.

“Now it is time to begin constructing the next deathly audio monstrosity. Consisting of all new material, Autopsy promises the heaviest, darkest and most devastating album to date.

“This task is not being taken lightly and the band will see to it eardrums are torn, minds are destroyed and skulls are crushed. To make the horror complete, none other than famed artist Joe Petagno is handling the cover painting. Brace yourself for a mid-2013 release and know your hunger for death metal will be met with soul bludgeoning darkness and blood spattering savagery.

“Also, we’ve got a special end-of-year competition for all you sickos, with a chance to win one of 3 signed copies of the Born Undead DVD. To enter just answer this question: ‘Which artist created the cover artwork for the Born Undead DVD?’ Submit answers here: competition@peaceville.co.uk.”

In other Autopsy related news, Peaceville has also just released a vinyl edition of Autopsy’s original 1995 swansong release, the sumptuous, Shitfun, plus the Abscess classic, Through the Cracks of Death, marking 10 years since release, and now presented for the first time ever on vinyl.

About the Author

Paul Ferritto [Fritz]
First off, Fritz isn't my real name. It's a nickname I've had for so long, that I forget sometimes that my real name is Paul. So for all intents and purposes all you fine people can call me Fritz.

Anyway I'm one of the co-founders of Axis Of Metal, which I created out of a love for all things heavy. Admittedly my first foray into music wasn't so heavy. At twelve i developed a love for grunge music, which then lead to a love of classic rock, and punk. Then as I consumed almost every piece of music in said genres I needed something with a bit more intensity, and something more extreme. One day I was walking through the halls in my high school, and i heard music blasting out of someone's headphones, and it was exactly what I was looking for. So after I found out that it was Slayer's "Disciple" I went home that day, and listened to every song Slayer had ever released, and that's how it all started.

So that's my story, so why not go out and listen to me blabber on, on the podcast or go and read what the Axis Of Metal's writing team has to say. Axis of Metal is created by metal heads, for metal heads.
