Blood on the Grindstone

This week’s music video if none other than “All Tomorrow’s Funerals” by Death metal legends, Autopsy. This track is off of their most recent album “All Tomorrow’s Funerals” which was released earlier this year.

No, this video doesn’t have drama or theatrics. No, it doesn’t have cinematic production quality. No, it doesn’t have a storyline or scenario that plays out. What this video does have is the purity of four scary-looking guys playing Death metal and wandering around an old building.

Sure, I love Black metal: the theatrics, the look, the image. But sometimes, the “image” takes on a life of its own and can get in the way of the music. Autopsy provides a nice contrast to that, and gets back to the core “essence” of the music.

One of the best things about this video is that it looks like it was filmed around 1988. That’s not an insult, it’s the highest compliment! They truly captured that look of that era. Great song, too. One of the best modern examples of the late 1980s-early 1990s Death metal sound. I love it. The link is below. Enjoy!
