Portland death metal project whose 2018 demo captures raw, self-consuming extremity. Named after the cellular process of eating oneself — the body recycling its own components — a fitting metaphor for death metal's obsession with dissolution.
A four-piece death metal and grindcore band from Přerov, Autophobic have released albums including Tinnitus and Prdel Světa as well as a full-length death metal/grindcore record titled RARE DEMA. Their lineup of Roman Krejčí, David Šumský, Stanislav Halda, and Jan Landsinger delivers the blasting, uncompromising extremity characteristic of Czech grind.
Autopsia is a death and thrash metal band from Seligenstadt in Hesse, Germany, with roots stretching back to 1989, making them one of the oldest surviving acts in the German death-thrash underground. With over three decades of activity, the band predates many of the genre's conventions and has witnessed its entire evolution firsthand.
Autopsium delivers thrash and death metal from Istanbul since 1989, over three decades of activity making them one of Turkey's earliest and longest-running extreme metal acts. Their forensic-examination name has guided pioneering work in the Turkish underground.
Oakland death metal legends and architects of the death-doom subgenre. Their Bandcamp catalog includes Dead as..., representing one chapter of a career that fundamentally shaped extreme music worldwide. Chris Reifert and company created the template for merging death metal's fury with doom's crushing pace.
Autopsy Malice delivers slam and brutal death metal from Kyshtym in the Chelyabinsk Region since 2018. From a city infamously associated with one of the worst nuclear disasters in Soviet history, they bring post-mortem brutality.
Autopsy Night creates brutal death metal from Arkhara in the Jewish Autonomous Oblast since 2012. From one of Russia's most remote settlements in the Far East near the Chinese border, they deliver over a decade of morgue-themed brutality.
Portland death metal project named after the act of consuming one's own flesh. Three releases since 2019 including the full-length Dolor — Latin for 'pain' — channel the most disturbing corners of human psychology through grinding extremity.
Autua Sagas delivers melodic death metal with metalcore elements from Hyvinkää north of Helsinki since 2020. Their name pairs the Finnish word for 'blessed' with 'sagas,' framing their melodic aggression as epic narratives of transcendence.
