Song lyrics
Burning from the inside outBloody foam spews from your mouthSmell the putrid stench of fleshAs it burns you to your death[...]The rancid smell of burning hairScreaming in excruciating painBlood boils over, warping veinsBurnt skull collapses onto melting brainsSpontaneous death, up in flamesTwisting and writhing as life burns awayUntil nothing is left but charred remains
"Charred Remains," Severed Survival (1988) as quoted by Metal Injection
Soon you'll have a corrosive liquid racing through your bowels Melting your insides, down the funnel and through the hose Into your bowels the acid goes, bloody foam dribbles out of you Muffled screams, you die in excruciating pain
"Battery Acid Enema," Acts of the Unspeakable as quoted by Loudwire
Quotes about Autopsy
Death metal songs about death are more or less mandatory, but Autopsy attacked the topic with real piss and vinegar. Severed Survival introduced the world to a band that took gore seriously.
Metal Injection (June 9, 2016)
The band’s constant swing between noisy traditional racket and dissonant doom moved away from metal's beats-per-minute arms race and reveled in the bodily weirdness that was at the heart of the genre's growth throughout the ’90s.
Chris Krovatin of Kerrang! (July 20, 2019)
Death metal has changed quite a bit since the birth of the genre. Every aspect of sonic extremity that could be conceived has been pushed, be that the tempo, production, level of consonance (what’s usually called “harmony”), chromaticism, vocals, and everything in between. Formed in 1987 in California, Autopsy have seen all of that evolution from the very start and always chose during their formative years to be a part of the group pushing boundaries, ignoring at all times what might prove to be more marketable or trendy to pursue their own form of sonic barbarism and their own always-disgusting horror aesthetic.
