Day 5: Autopsy - Acts Of The Unspeakable



The first death metal album of the blog.  I got into this band recently, so far only listening to their first two records, Severed Survival and Mental Funeral.  They retain their familiar sound on this release, but with the pace constantly shifting from full speed to slow almost doom like riffs.  Despite the pace changes, they still manage to speed through almost 20 tracks in just over 30 minutes.  I actually preferred and looked forward to the slower moments of the album.  This did make it hard to pick out any favourite tracks, as I was more looking forward to moments in songs.  There are a few tracks which retain some consistency from start to finish, like "Your Rotting Face" and "Funereality".  I would probably go with these as my favourites due to the consistent structure making them more memorable.  I'm going to go back a year in their discography tomorrow and listen to their Fiend For Blood EP.  Stay tuned.
