Torn From the Grave

One of the first bands to wholly embrace the death metal aesthetic, Autopsy was formed when Chris Reifert left Death and started his own outfit in San Francisco, intending to create metal obsessed with gore and carnage. Bands in diverse scenes from Swedish death metallers to the UK's Carcass (grindcore) have hailed Autopsy as a founding influence and truly, few bands have achieved more with melody and compositional style in such an unassuming format.
