Get ready to descend into depravity as AUTOPSY unleashes remastered horrors of their iconic 'Mental Funeral' on vinyl and double-disc formats.

San Francisco's death metal pioneers AUTOPSY are set to unleash a brutal celebration of their second studio album, 'Mental Funeral', which first reared its ghastly head back in 1991. Revered as one of the greatest death metal albums to ever grace the genre, this collection of grotesque odes to brutality and depravity is back, newly remastered and ready to haunt your speakers once more. With its raw, organic production and nightmarish themes, 'Mental Funeral' is a relentless assault on the senses that continues to inspire legions of metalheads.

Mark your calendars for August 14, because Peaceville Records is releasing two fresh editions of this seminal work. Thanks to the deft touch of current AUTOPSY bassist Greg Wilkinson at his Earhammer Studios, fans can expect nothing less than a perfect sonic resurrection. The reissues will come in two flavors: a striking red and green ink spot vinyl, and a double-disc edition that not only includes remastered audio but also a special commentary disc featuring the twisted tales of Chris Reifert, Eric Cutler, and Danny Coralles as they delve into the writing and recording process of this grotesque masterpiece.

The original chaos of 'Mental Funeral' was captured at Different Fur Studios in late 1990, with the legendary Ron Rigler engineering the malevolence and Kev Walker responsible for the iconic artwork that has haunted nightmares for decades. Each track, from the visceral 'Twisted Mass Of Burnt Decay' to the chilling closing title track 'Mental Funeral', serves as a testament to AUTOPSY's mastery of death metal. This reissue is not just an album; it's a retrospective dive into the minds that crafted a genre-defining sound.

For diehard fans and newcomers alike, the 35th-anniversary editions of 'Mental Funeral' are a must-have, ensuring that the legacy of AUTOPSY continues to thrive as they march towards their own 40th anniversary. Since their reformation in 2010, AUTOPSY has re-established themselves as a force in the metal scene, proving that their blend of morbidity and musicality remains unrivaled. Prepare for a sonic experience that will leave you gasping for breath and begging for more.
