Limited edition picture disc version of Autopsy's seminal debut release from 1989, featuring artwork from the controversial original edition plus the alternate 'surgeons' cover. The birth of the band's career of highly influential gore-soaked Death Metal sound. Autopsy's debut album Severed Survival, is a brutal explosion of heavy riffs, tight drumming and a screaming vocal, rounded off with concepts of death, disease and diabolica. The band notably features legendary drummer Chris Reifert, who began his recording career with US metal greats, Death, before taking on the unusual duty of handling drums and vocals for Autopsy. Autopsy has influenced a whole generation of extreme metal bands, from Entombed and Dismember to Darkthrone. Severed Survival is (rightly) hailed as one of death metal's finest releases. A completely rotten and uncompromising sound - dirty, sludgy, death and doom metal mixed in with repulsive tales of death and disease
