Autopsy triumphantly \u0026amp; officially returned from the grave after a 15 year hiatus with the 2010 EP, 'The Tomb Within'. This was followed by the release of the band's fifth studio album, 'Macabre Eternal' (2011), to great acclaim \u0026amp; Autopsy has subsequently remained at the top of the death metal tree with a consistent output of uncompromising genre highlights. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e2013 saw Autopsy return more sinister \u0026amp; rotten-to-the-core than ever with their new studio opus of horror \u0026amp; all-out madness, ‘The Headless Ritual’; featuring the returning quartet of Chris Reifert, Eric Cutler, Danny Coralles \u0026amp; Joe Trevisano. ‘The Headless Ritual’ is a relentless monster of violent \u0026amp; brutal death metal mastery delivered in the unmistakable Autopsy style of chaotic riffing, insane solos \u0026amp; doom-filled interludes, all served with the band’s unhinged brand of vocal sickness. The album was recorded \u0026amp; mixed April 2013 at Fantasy Studios in California with Adam Munoz \u0026amp; features cover artwork by renowned artist Joe Petagno (Motörhead, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin). \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAutopsy notably features drummer Chris Reifert, who began his recording career with US metal greats, Death, before taking on the unusual duty of handling drums \u0026amp; vocals for Autopsy. Autopsy has influenced a whole generation of extreme metal bands, from Entombed \u0026amp; Dismember to Darkthrone \u0026amp; is among the biggest \u0026amp; most respected names in the genre's history. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOUTHBOUND","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40426016342217,"sku":"461351","price":28.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/461351-Product-0-I-638917037719928922.jpg?v=1756111860","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/cd-autopsy-the-headless-ritual-cd","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
