About

Autopsy is an American death metal band formed in Contra Costa County, California, in 1987 by Chris Reifert and Eric Cutler, after Reifert departed from Death following the release of the demo Mutilation (1986) and their debut album, Scream Bloody Gore (1987). The group disbanded in 1995 and reunited in 2008. The band's hometown is in Concord, California.

The band, along with Death, Possessed, Obituary, Deicide and Morbid Angel are regarded as among the founders of modern death metal. Their first two albums, Severed Survival (1989) and Mental Funeral (1991), are regarded as genre-defining landmarks, helping to birth death metal and the associated genre of death-doom. They have released nine studio albums.

Autopsy est un groupe de death metal américain, originaire de Californie. Il est fondé en 1987 par Chris Reifert, ancien batteur de Death (notamment sur Scream Bloody Gore). Peu de groupes jouaient du death metal à la formation d'Autopsy. Outre sa musique, originale pour l’époque, le groupe attire l’attention sur lui par des pochettes et textes particulièrement sanglants (registre gore), qui inspirent des groupes comme Cannibal Corpse ou Aborted. Une autre particularité du groupe est liée à Chris Reifert, qui jouait à la fois la batterie et les parties vocales, ce qui est rare.
