4/5 ·
Warthur
Autopsy's Mental Funeral is an ugly and minimalistic beast, lashing out with occasional bursts of brutality that show some technical depth. The key to the album's original sound, though, is that Autopsy deliberately weren't taking past in the fastness war so many other death metal bands seemed to be engaged in at this time, instead keeping things mid-tempo and occasionally slowing down for some pioneering death-doom action. An album constructed for multiple listens, this one won't reveal all its flavour with one go, but attentive listeners will note just how many tricks the band hide away within their apparently thuggish and lowbrow facade.
