Song lyrics
[edit]Burning from the inside out
Bloody foam spews from your mouth
Smell the putrid stench of flesh
As it burns you to your death
[...]
The rancid smell of burning hair
Screaming in excruciating pain
Blood boils over, warping veins
Burnt skull collapses onto melting brains
Spontaneous death, up in flames
Twisting and writhing as life burns away
Until nothing is left but charred remains
- "Charred Remains," Severed Survival (1988) as quoted by Metal Injection [1]
Soon you'll have a corrosive liquid racing through your bowels
Melting your insides, down the funnel and through the hose
Into your bowels the acid goes, bloody foam dribbles out of you
Muffled screams, you die in excruciating pain
- "Battery Acid Enema," Acts of the Unspeakable as quoted by Loudwire [2]
Quotes about Autopsy
[edit]- Death metal songs about death are more or less mandatory, but Autopsy attacked the topic with real piss and vinegar. Severed Survival introduced the world to a band that took gore seriously.
- Metal Injection (June 9, 2016) [3]
- The band’s constant swing between noisy traditional racket and dissonant doom moved away from metal's beats-per-minute arms race and reveled in the bodily weirdness that was at the heart of the genre's growth throughout the ’90s.
