Fiend for Blood
Fiend for Blood is an EP from the American death metal band Autopsy, released in 1991 on Peaceville Records. It arrived in the same year as their second album, Mental Funeral, and sits between that record and 1992's Acts of the Unspeakable in their early run of releases.
The whole EP has since been reissued more than once. It appears as bonus tracks on the 2003 edition of Acts of the Unspeakable, and again on the 2012 compilation All Tomorrow's Funerals. For anyone exploring Autopsy's early years, either of those is an easy way to hear it alongside other material from the period.
