Abscess Calls It Quits: Autopsy Reunites!

Published

16 years ago

on

After 16 years of delivering punishing, extreme heavy metal, California’s Abscess has decided to call it quits.  The band’s sixth and final studio album, Dawn of Inhumanity, was released in March on Peaceville Records.
Abscess drummer/vocalist, Chris Reifert, issued the following statement…
“Greetings, sickos.  We need to inform you that Abscess has officially broken up.  The reason for this is that Clint Bower has left the band for personal reasons, and out of respect to him and to all who have supported us for these 16 years, we have decided to call it a day.  Without Clint Bower, there can be no Abscess, so we won’t even try to cheat anyone with something that is not the real thing.  Dawn of Inhumanity has become our final statement, and we feel that it is the perfect way to close the Abscess chapter, since we must do so.  Thanks to all of you who were and still are proud to call yourselves Abscess Freaks!”

While Abscess has been officially laid to rest, the legendary Autopsy has been resurrected as a full time focus.  Autopsy recently played at the eighth annual Maryland Deathfest, and has headlining performances scheduled for the Party San Open Air and the Hole in the Sky festivals this summer.
Autopsy comments, “As many of you know, for years it has been repeatedly stated that Autopsy was over with and done for good.  While that was indeed true for a long span of time, it is no longer the case.  Autopsy has come to the solid realization that the time is now right to resume their mission of gore soaked death metal brutality and to fulfill this mission with maximum intensity.  Make no mistake about it, Autopsy is not about reliving the past, basking in nostalgia or riding on efforts from years long gone.  The band is hungry to devour fresh minds and souls and has been amassing an arsenal of new and deathly material to unleash upon those who also hunger for such brutality.  The surgical instruments are being sharpened and a pure death metal assault of the most horrific order is underway as you read these very words.  On behalf of the band, thanks goes out to all who relented and simply would not allow this beast to remain in the grave.  Your persistence will be met with unspeakable and unapologetic sonic atrocities.  Let the blood flow….” 
Autopsy will  release a new EP, entitled ‘The Tomb Within’, this August on Peaceville Records.  Artwork will come courtesy of renowned horror/fantasy artist, Matt Cavotta. Autopsy’s fifth full-length record, Macabre Eternal, is due out early next year. Stay tuned to http://www.peaceville.com/autopsy/ for more information!

Marco Beltrami’s ‘Scream’ Score Gets Deluxe Reissue For 30th Anniversary

By

Seminal slasher Scream rewrote the rules in 1996, and for its 30th anniversary,  Varèse Sarabande and Craft Recordings are celebrating with a new anniversary reissue of Marco Beltrami’s landmark score.

The original 14-track album returns to vinyl in a collectible “blood-soaked” sleeve on August 28.

If blood red isn’t your color, there’s good news: the reissue will also be available in many different limited-edition exclusive pressings.

In addition to the wide “Woodsboro Bloodbath” red vinyl pictured below, look for the following exclusives:

An Extended Cut Edition of the Scream (Original Motion Picture Score), featuring all 40 of the film’s cues from the 2022 Scream boxset, will also be available on CD. All formats are available to pre-order or pre-save today.

Top L-R: “Knife’s Edge” silver vinyl with poster (Target), “Surprise, Sidney” metallic blend vinyl (Barnes & Noble), “Don’t Hang Up” clear vinyl (Books-A-Million),
Bottom L-R: “I’ll Be Right Back” blue vinyl (Urban Outfitters), “Final Girl” splatter vinyl (Hot Topic), “Wrong Answer” Blood Red Splatter vinyl (Varèse Sarabande/Craft Recordings), and “Final Phone Call” blue vinyl (Indie Retail)

Marco Beltrami composed the iconic score as a then young, up-and-coming composer—one who, ironically, had never scored or even seen a horror film.

Yet just three years after he completed the University of Southern California’s rigorous scoring program, Beltrami submitted 13 minutes of music for Scream’s opening sequence and his future was forever changed. “We knew in half a minute that we had found our composer,” Craven told Variety in 2012. “The music was haunting, beautiful and totally original. Marco turned out to be shy and soft-spoken, but a fountain of ideas and innovation. I never looked back.”
