Death metal giants Autopsy have announced their new album, Morbidity Triumphant, is scheduled to arrive on September 30th via Peaceville Records (pre-order/save here). The follow-up to 2015’s Skull Grinder was recorded at Opus Studios with engineer Adam Munoz, mastering was completed by Ken Lee, and marks the group’s first album to feature new bassist Greg Wilkinson.
Chris Reifert comments:
“The moment has finally arrived for a new full length Autopsy album to slither out into the public and people will have to deal with it. Buckle up, it’s a raw, rough and ugly ride!”
On working with Greg Wilkinson, Reifert expresses:
“Working with Greg on the Autopsy record was totally different than the Static Abyss one, mostly since Autopsy is a complete band with their own pre-established ways of doing things – we just abducted him into the band and had him roll with our ways, which he took to like a fish to gasoline so much so that he contributed a song musically which fit in perfectly with the rest of the sickening anthems on the album.”
Reifert discusses the album artwork created by Wes Benscoter (Slayer, Bloodbath):
“Wes delivered another stunner. What a maniac!” he explains “We didn’t give him much to work with as usual. I think, maybe, just a couple of song titles and themes maybe and his imagination did most of the work. The album title came along after the fact. After having our minds blown by Wes’ art we arrived at “Morbidity Triumphant” which seemed to fit the theme of the painting as well as the way we feel about the state of the band in general. We’ve been working hard at our sick craft with zero compromise and it seems we’re still hitting our stride somehow.”
