Autopsy - The Tomb Within [EP] (2010)

 

Autopsy emerged in 1987 and had an almost immediate impact on the global underground Metal scene. 

The band's debut album Severed Survival was released in 1989 on Peaceville Records and the band went on to become legends in the death metal scene, recording four studio albums in total, before splitting up in the mid 1990s. 

After a 15 year period which saw Chris and Danny heavily involved with their band Abscess, it was time to answer the wishes of fans worldwide and embark upon a fresh spree of Autopsy brutality, so on 19th July 2010 the band entered Fantasy Studios with Adam Munoz to begin new work, with original trio of Chris Reifert, Danny Coralles and Eric Cutler joined by Joe Trevisano on bass. 

The Tomb Within consists of 5 tunes of ultimate gore and depravity, and features cover art by renowned fantasy/horror artist Matt Cavotta.

The Tomb Within  

You're dying inside
Every heartbeat closer to the last
Immortality a fallacy
A perverted pipe dream of the past.

The tomb, it needs it's hunger
An unforgiving force
Your blown mind reels in torture
True doom locked on its course.

Your blood it flows in torment
A testament to weakness
Your deathday clock is ticking
you'll surrender to your creatures.

Your graveyard eyes unseeing
your mind drowns in the crypt
construction of the perfect beast
Your senses have been stripped
Look over your shoulder
Damnation's waiting there
Your run slows to a crawl
The casket calls to your despair.

Abyssmal hopelessness - Down on bloody knees
There's madness in your soul - A swarming of disease.

Cemetery visions
Eyes peeled red and open
Curled up in a coffin
Mind and soul are broken.

Merging with the void while encloaked by total doom
Feel the reaper's breath as you slip inside the tomb
Wake up dead and mourning with a knife tight in your fist
thank the blood red skies
For with death you have been kissed...
