'''Autopsy''' was a [[death metal]] band, founded in 1987 in the [[United States]] by [[Chris Reifert]] after leaving [[Death (band)|Death]].
==Biography==
Beginning their career with the ''[[Severed Survival]]'' LP, Autopsy took on a sound similar to that of ''[[Scream Bloody Gore]]'' era Death, but soon moved on to a [[doom metal]] influenced sound for the ''[[Retribution for the Dead]]'' EP. 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".
