The next full-length, ''Mental Funeral'', would expand on Autopsy's [[death/doom]] style of metal, and was met with great critical acclaim. Having completed a successful [[Europe]]an tour soon after ''Mental Funeral'', the band reentered the studio to record the ''[[Fiend for Blood]]'' EP, which was followed by their third full-length, ''[[Acts of the Unspeakable]]''. Autopsy's last album, 1994's ''Shitfun'', was heavily influenced by [[hardcore punk]] and would prepare fans for [[Abscess (band)|Abscess]], [[Danny Coralles]] and [[Chris Reifert]]'s project after Autopsy's demise in 1995. Autopsy was featured in the 2005 music documentary ''[[Metal: A Headbanger's Journey]]'' when the film's narrator and star read aloud a verse from the band's song "Charred Remains". ==Band members== *[[Chris Reifert]] - vocals, drums (1987–1995) *[[Danny Coralles]] - guitar (1987–1995) *[[Eric Cutler]] - guitar (1987–1995) *[[Eric Eigard]] - bass (1987) *[[Ken "The Knob End" Sovari]] - bass (1988–1990) *[[Steve Cutler]] - bass (1991) *[[Josh Barohn]] - bass (1992) *[[Freeway Migliore]] - bass (1995) ===Session musicians=== *[[Steve DiGiorgio]] - bass (''Severed Survival'' and ''Fiend for Blood'') ==Discography== ===Demos=== * 1987 - ''1987 Demo'' * 1988 - ''Critical Madness'' ===Full-length studio albums=== * 1989 - ''[[Severed Survival]]'' ([[Peaceville Records]]) * 1991 - ''[[Mental Funeral]]'' (Peaceville Records) * 1992 - ''[[Acts of the Unspeakable]]'' (Peaceville Records) * 1995 - ''[[Shitfun]]'' (Peaceville Records) ===EPs=== * 1990 - ''[[Retribution for the Dead]]'' (Peaceville Records) * 1991 - ''[[Fiend for Blood]]'' (Peaceville Records) ===Compilation and live albums=== * 2000 - ''[[Ridden with Disease]]'' ([[Necroharmonic Productions]]) * 2001 - ''[[Torn from the Grave]]'' (Peaceville Records) * 2004 - ''[[Dead as Fuck]]'' (Necroharmonic Productions) ==Filmography== * 2006 - ''[[Dark Crusades]]'' (with liner notes and band interview by [[Joel McIver]]; Peaceville Records) == External links== * [http://www.peaceville.com Peaceville Records] * [http://www.necroharmonic.com Necroharmonic Productions] [[Category:American death metal musical groups]] [[Category:California heavy metal musical groups]] [[Category:Musical groups established in 1987]] [[Category:1980s music groups]] [[Category:1990s music groups]] [[Category:2000s music groups]] [[da:Autopsy]] [[de:Autopsy]] [[es:Autopsy]] [[it:Autopsy]] [[nl:Autopsy]] [[pl:Autopsy]] [[pt:Autopsy]] [[fi:Autopsy]]
