Autopsy Mental Funeral Songs Mental Funeral Music Review Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars)  Essential Death Metal
Autopsy need no introduction if you're a death metal fan of any degree.Their Frost-worshipping,Scream Bloody Gore-themed dirges to all things gruesome and nasty have been hailed as being some of the most deranged,depraved and genuinely disturbing aural explosions of death metal ever.Mental Funeral is the followup to their instantly classic debut 'Severed Survival'.It's slower,more mournful at times and bouncy at others,in an almost folksy way.(see In The Grip of Winter).Coralles and Cutler are the most undersung death metal rifflords in history.With 95% attention usually focussed on Chris Reifert,and with good reason,the guitar duo are seldom credited for what is the trademark Autopsy dirge,only ever equalled by Incantation,in an equally no-compromise mould.The riffs are simple and follow repetitive motifs.Their potency lies in,ofcourse their redoubtable quality, and the fact that through their repetition,they manage to drill a hole straight through to your basest instincts.They weave in and out through flesh like maggots,throb and shrink like an engorged member and ooze refuse through swollen pustules.They're superbly complimented by Chris Reifert's trademark vokills,done in a lower register here than on the debut.The patented rasps are in place too contrasting brilliantly with his new approach.His drumming is simple(some might call it sloppy,I prefer to call it lucidly inebriated!) and gives those sinister riffs enough space and time to construct their filthy monument.
All waxing done,Mental Funeral remains to this day an essential component of the death metal firmament.Autopsy are pioneers in the truest sense and deserve every bit of your unflinching respect.

Although they'd lost their deal with Arista Records and then exchanged the brief elation of their British sojourn for the sobering reality of their upstate New York breeding grounds, the Rods wasted little time sulking before getting back to work on new songs at Rochester's Barrett Alley Studios. The trio's sophomore opus, WILD DOGS, may not have performed well enough to satisfy the chart-topping expectations of their former label, but it was relatively successful by heavy metal standards. So it was no surprise when independent Shrapnel Records was calling with a new contract. Of course, instead of heaping money on the Rods to polish off the material they'd been recording, their more frugal new backers were perfectly happy to take the songs that became 1983's IN THE RAW just as they were. One could argue that the Rods' proletarian metal is best served with minimal production gloss anyways, and so, resulting barnstormers like "Hurricane," "Go for Broke," and the proto-thrashing "Hot Love" hardly seemed to suffer while hammering their head-banging directive home. And even though most of these new songs still sounded partly like crossbreeds of Twisted Sister and Y&T, they finally helped the Rods sever their once overwhelming dependency on '70s hard rock influences in order to sound like a true '80s heavy metal band for the first time.

Now, to commemorate the bands crusade towards world domination and their co-headlining this Summers Sounds Of The Underground Tour, Roadrunner Records is releasing a Special CD/DVD edition of Ascendancy, complete with exclusive tracks, live and promo video footage and new artwork. Special 2-disc CD/DVD set in an O-card with previously unreleased bonus tracks, all the bands videos, over 30 minutes of live performance and new artwork.
Trivium: Matthew K. Heafy (vocals, guitar); Corey Beaulieu (guitar, background vocals); Paolo Gregoletto (bass guitar, background vocals); Travis Smith (drums, percussion).
Trivium has only grown stronger since 2003's Ember to Inferno. That album's mix of classic thrash (early Metallica) with 21st century metalcore rage and progressive metal flourish still roils here. But Ascendancy's fire is more ferocious and its transitions more confident, which means the band is even more dedicated to its clever throwback sound. This is even more impressive when you consider that no one in Trivium is old enough to legally rent a car. The lineup has shifted -- joining vocalist/guitarist Matt Heafy and drummer Travis Smith are guitarist Corey Beaulieu and bassist Paolo Gregoletto. But they're a ridiculously tight quartet, unleashing thrilling dual guitar passages and pummeling kick drum gallops as surely as they do melodic breaks and vicious throat screeds. The verses of "Rain" and "Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr" blister the brain, while Heafy channels James Hetfield effortlessly ...
