As I sit listening to Atrocious Autopsy, the debut album from USA tech death metal band Mortifica I’m immediately impressed by the high standard of musicianship on show. This however is a pre-requisite for any band setting foot in this territory so no surprises there then. The same could be said for the music which is exactly what you’d expect and have probably heard many times before if this kind of stuff is your thing. Whilst for the most part it’s fair to good it lacks the sophistication and inventiveness of Nile or the melodic flourishes that make Allegaeon’s take on the genre more memorable. Any initial enthusiasm soon wears thin as one song merges into the next without leaving any lasting impression. This a real shame because there’s clearly plenty of talent here. Pick of the bunch is Mutilate The Invalid and Lack Of Remorse For The Unknowing which come late on but is not enough to make Atrocious Autopsy stand out from the myriad of other albums vying for your attention in this genre.

Although they have previous band experience it’s early days for these guys yet and I’m sure they’ve got it in them to produce something that leaves a more lasting impression. For now though I don’t see myself returning to this in a hurry.
