RFI Ep. 156: Autopsy 

That's a really good description of Autopsy

That one's ALMOST tied with Mental Funeral for me, I'm gonna cover it in detail next week. Spectacular album

They're one of the best

Interesting comment! You might be right, but as a dude born in the golden age of metal, one of the youngest in my family with an older sibling and older cousins born in the late 60s - mid 70s (the mostly generation mostly responsible for spawning the extreme metal genres), I can remember times when the purely heavy metal hard rock guys rejected the screaming and growling vocals and chaotic riffs and drums. Even King Diamond rejected to produce Bulldozer's full length album because it was according to him too punk sounding. I would argue that the punk influence, not necessarily crust, but punk rock and hardcore punk before crust, was already ingrained in speed/thrash metal starting in the late 70s/early 80s, before crust and death metal. Autopsy was definitely rocking GBH shirts in photos and I can certainly hear the punk influences in the intensity of their delivery. I agree that sometimes it does get overblown, but I can remember pre internet heavy metal guys and girls who loved Sabbath, Priest, Maiden, etc., but couldn't stand death metal, and I gotta wonder: if these early extreme metal pioneers didn't borrow from the heavy metal classics AND marry that with the extremity of underground punk scenes, would death metal even exist? I don't believe so, and that's why I think it is not overblown at all, and if anything often understated. Interesting point though, and you got me thinking and remembering haha! Cheers dude!

I didn't see that one, but that does happen occasionally. My favorite was those great Keyakizaka46 halloween costumes

Yeah I think it was right at the beginning of the new year I started listening to a bunch of death metal out of nowhere, and Autopsy has always been one of my favorites

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 I really appreciate your channel, you’re introducing me to bands I wouldn’t of heard of otherwise.

the next one is gonna be more of Autopsy BUT the one after that is gonna have more obscure stuff

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 Awesome! can’t wait

That one took me a second to get. Thanks for watching the stream!

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 I only remember because I told sped like 5 times the theme was german bands He didn't get it, he special

idk I thought it was funny

there's gonna be some more stuff about the darkthrone connection in part 2, it runs pretty deep even through to a lot of their newer stuff

Yeah they're both pretty great. I tend to like Sabbat more than both, but it's all fun stuff

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 I haven't listened to them, I'll check it out!

Oh, if you like Abigail you'll like them, they're pretty connected. Also, Chuck Keller from Ares Kingdom helped out Yasuyuki with the first Abigail album too, so it's worth checking their stuff out if you like that kind of black/thrash.

it's been a while since I listened to them but I should probably take a crack at that at some point, I also like the Shrum demo

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 yes indeed. Wonder why there are so less Acid Bath on the internet. Pity

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 and Autopsy is crushing asf. I believe, Chris also had a hand or two in AC Kramer's projekts like Deathkey, Intolitarian.

I'd have to look into that but I'd believe it. He's connected to all sorts of stuff like Von and Nuclear Death and such, probably will get into that on Autopsy Part II

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 awaiting

not familiar with those but I liked that Gyibaaw album

@@radiofreeinnsmouth1337 I recommend the split they did together as well as Ifernach’s Wastow EP
