San Francisco Bay Area gore titan, Autopsy, has posted a stream of the brand new track, “The Tomb Within”, on their recently launched mini-site at: http://www.peaceville.com/autopsy/. The new song is the title track for the band’s forthcoming EP, which is due out on October 5th on Peaceville Records.
Along with the song stream, the new mini-site also features audio samples of each of the EP’s four other gut-wrenching tracks, as well as an in studio video trailer for a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the forthcoming musical bloodbath. ‘The Tomb Within’ EP is the band’s first collection of newly recorded tracks in over a decade.
The highly anticipated, ‘The Tomb Within’, was recorded in mid-July 2010 at Fantasy Studios with Adam Munoz, and unites the original trio of Chris Reifert, Danny Coralles, and Eric Cutler, joined on bass by Joe Trevisano (ex-Abscess). Cover art is supplied by renowned fantasy/horror artist, Matt Cavotta.

Autopsy decided to make an official comeback after working together on two songs for the special 20th anniversary edition of their debut album, Severed Survival, in late 2008. The band had originally decided to split before the release of their 4th album, Shitfun, in 1995.
The 12” vinyl edition of ‘The Tomb Within’ comes with a free poster of the stunning cover artwork, and is limited to just 1000 numbered copies. It can be pre-ordered at: http://www.burningshed.com/store/peaceville/product/261/2264/. The CD edition can be pre-ordered at: http://www.burningshed.com/store/peaceville/product/261/2265/, and will include a special limited postcard.
Autopsy emerged in 1987, and had an almost immediate impact on the global underground heavy metal scene. Frontman Chris Reifert was already known due to his work as drummer with Florida's highly respected extreme metal combo, Death, along with Chuck Schuldiner. Autopsy’s debut album, Severed Survival, was unleashed in 1989 on Peaceville Records, and the band went on to become true legends in the death metal scene, recording four studio albums in total, before splitting up in the mid 90’s.
