Fit For An Autopsy’s latest album doesn’t break the mold, but it sure as hell crushes it.

Fit For An Autopsy’s latest drop sticks to the formula that made them a staple of the scene—delivering an album that’s both crushingly heavy and hauntingly atmospheric. They’re not exactly reinventing the wheel here, but why mess with what works? The production is solid, letting every skull-rattling riff and low-end growl land with all the weight you’d expect from these death metal veterans.

Lyrically, the album goes all-in on themes of decay, curses, and some good old-fashioned hopelessness. The words are intense, apocalyptic, and unapologetically bleak, perfectly paired with clean vocals that carry an eerie edge and guttural roars that could probably raise the dead. The band knows when to go for the throat with fast, relentless riffs and when to pull back and let a slow, heavy groove crush the air out of your lungs.

Tracks like “Spoils of The Horde” flex their talent for dynamic compositions, starting with cinematic intros before diving headfirst into pure chaos. The flow between tracks feels almost like the chapters of a grim story, each track bleeding into the next without a single wasted moment. You won’t necessarily find that one instantly iconic track, but the whole package offers layers of intensity and that signature FFAA punch.

It’s not groundbreaking, but this record still delivers a visceral ride that proves Fit For An Autopsy hasn’t lost their touch. It’s dark, it’s heavy, and it’s got just enough variation to keep even the most jaded death metal fan headbanging. They’re not pushing boundaries, but they’re holding the line—and sometimes, that’s exactly what you want from a band that’s been in the trenches this long.
