Two disc special edition celebrating 20 years since the release Autopsy's seminal debut album. "Severed Survival" and includes the first new Autopsy tracks recorded in almost 15 years. One of the early death metal acts, & no stranger to controversy over the years, Autopsy formed in 1987 in San Francisco, & released 4 albums on Peaceville Records before disbanding in 1995 & going on to form Abscess. 'Severed Survival' is (rightly) hailed as one of death metal's finest releases. A completely rotten & uncompromising sound - Dirty, sludgy, death & doom metal mixed in with repulsive tales of death and disease - it was originally released in April 1989. The bonus disc comes crammed with rare and previously unheard versions of tracks from the early days & most essentially features 2 brand new Autopsy tracks recorded in autumn 2008 especially to mark this release. The booklet features new extensive liner notes by the band on the origins & history of Autopsy, including rare photos and images from their career.
