EP
Skull Grinder
Skull Grinder is an EP by the death metal band Autopsy, released on 27 November 2015 through Peaceville. It followed Tourniquets, Hacksaws and Graves from the previous year, and arrived during the stretch in which the band were active again after the run of albums that began with Macabre Eternal in 2011.
It sits between that comeback run and the later albums Morbidity Triumphant and Ashes, Organs, Blood and Crypts. For fans who first found Autopsy through Severed Survival, Mental Funeral or Acts of the Unspeakable, it is a short, direct reminder that the band were still working in their chosen genre.
