AUTOPSY Premiere ‘Knife Slice, Axe Chop’ Music Video
September 20th, 2022

California-based death metal band Autopsy have filmed a music video for the track ‘Knife Slice, Axe Chop’. Directed by Phil Pattison, the age-restricted clip can be accessed via YouTube below.

Speaking about the song, Autopsy mainman Chris Reifert said: “Ever headbanged and barfed at the same time? Check out the video for our new song ‘Knife Slice, Axe Chop’ and see how it feels. Our buddy Cam [Schwarz] and his crew of lunatics at Rabid Dog have given us the blood n’ guts fest that we’ve always wanted and we can’t wait for you, our beloved Autopsy freaks to shove this nightmare into your eyes and ears. Tell yer pals!”

Autopsy issue eighth full-length studio album Morbidity Triumphant on September 30th, 2022 through Peaceville Records.

“The moment has finally arrived for a new full-length Autopsy album to slither out into the public and people will have to deal with it. Buckle up, it’s a raw, rough and ugly ride!,” commented Chris Reifert.

Morbidity Triumphant was recorded at Opus Studios, with long-associated engineer Adam Munoz at the helm. Mastering was completed by Ken Lee.

The album marks the recording debut of Greg Wilkinson, Reifert’s bandmate within the Static Abyss fold. “Working with Greg on the Autopsy record was totally different than the Static Abyss one, mostly since Autopsy is a complete band with their own pre-established ways of doing things – we just abducted him into the band and had him roll with our ways, which he took to like a fish to gasoline so much so that he contributed a song musically which fit in perfectly with the rest of the sickening anthems on the album,” Reifert shared.

Cover artwork was designed by Wes Benscoter. “Wes delivered another stunner. What a maniac!” Reifer explained. “We didn’t give him much to work with as usual. I think, maybe, just a couple of song titles and themes maybe and his imagination did most of the work. The album title came along after the fact. After having our minds blown by Wes’ art we arrived at Morbidity Triumphant which seemed to fit the theme of the painting as well as the way we feel about the state of the band in general. We’ve been working hard at our sick craft with zero compromise and it seems we’re still hitting our stride somehow.”

01. ‘Stab The Brain’
