Autopsy The Headless Ritual CD ( Jewel Case, 2013, Peaceville Records)

The Headless Ritual is the sixth studio album from legendary American death metal band Autopsy, delivering a raw and uncompromising continuation of their signature sound. Known for their filthy riffs, doom-laden pacing, and morbid atmosphere, Autopsy blends classic death metal aggression with crushing, slower passages that emphasize heaviness and decay.

This release captures the band’s old-school spirit while benefiting from modern production clarity, making it appealing to both longtime fans and newer listeners of extreme metal. The Headless Ritual stands as a brutal and authentic addition to Autopsy’s discography, offering relentless intensity, grim songwriting, and a sound rooted firmly in the foundations of death metal.
