Autopsy, the veteran death metal band formed by Chris Reifert after his departure from Death, have announced their first album in eight years, Morbidity Triumphant, due September 30 via Peaceville Records (pre-order). It's their first with new bassist Greg Wilkinson (Brainoil, Deathgrave, etc), who also plays alongside Chris in the new band Static Abyss, whose debut album Labyrinth of Veins was released earlier this year. About working with Greg, Chris said:
Working with Greg on the Autopsy record was totally different than the Static Abyss one, mostly since Autopsy is a complete band with their own pre-established ways of doing things – we just abducted him into the band and had him roll with our ways, which he took to like a fish to gasoline so much so that he contributed a song musically which fit in perfectly with the rest of the sickening anthems on the album.
