NEW AUTOPSY ALBUM ART: JUST TWO DUDES LUGGIN’ A GIANT SKULL

So Macabre Eternal, Autopsy’s first new album in sixteen years, is coming out in May, and now the album art has been released. And it’s totally bad-assed, even if it makes even less sense than most death metal album art. I mean, why are these two poor zombie dudes being made to schlep that giant skull? Who is it for? Why aren’t those other creature thingers in the background helping them? Someone obviously wants that skull badly enough that these guys are being made to/are willing to step over their own dead to get it wherever it’s going, but I still can’t help but think that it would have been easier to just FedEx the thing.

ANYWAY, Macabre Eternal comes out May 31 on Peaceville. It should be at least as heavy as a giant skull.
