Autopsy will celebrate the 35th anniversary of its landmark 1991 album Mental Funeral with two newly remastered collector editions arriving on Aug. 14, 2026.
The announcement was made by Peaceville Records through Instagram, revealing a limited-edition vinyl pressing and a deluxe two-disc CD version to mark the milestone for one of death metal's most respected releases.
Both anniversary editions feature newly remastered audio handled by current Autopsy bassist Greg Wilkinson at Earhammer Studios.
The first format is a limited-edition vinyl with red and green ink spots, created for collectors and longtime fans of the California death metal pioneers.

According to the announcement, the three musicians share memories about the writing and recording sessions behind the album as well as the inspirations that shaped the material.
The label described Mental Funeral as "one of the greatest death metal albums of all time" because of its "unhinged and uncompromising collection of odes to brutality & depravity, wrapped up in its highly distinctive raw, organic production."
Decibel Magazine previously praised the record, stating: "Mental Funeral is incredible. Rustic, rude and full of rancor, Autopsy's second splatter-platter jogs brains into submission."
Originally released in 1991, Mental Funeral was Autopsy's second studio album, following the band's 1989 debut, Severed Survival.
The album was recorded during late 1990 at Different Fur Studios with engineering work handled by Ron Rigler. Its cover artwork was created by artist Kev Walker, who had also designed the artwork for Severed Survival.
The remastered release keeps the original 12-song track list intact on the first disc:
“Twisted Mass Of Burnt Decay”“In The Grip Of Winter”“Fleshcrawl”“Torn From The Womb”“Slaughterday”“Dead”“Robbing The Grave”“Hole In The Head”“Destined To Fester”“Bonesaw”“Dark Crusade”“Mental Funeral”The second disc included in the CD edition contains commentary versions of all 12 songs, allowing listeners to hear stories behind the recording process directly from the musicians who created the album.
Among the two formats, the 2CD package offers the deepest archival experience for fans interested in the history behind the record and its creation.
Autopsy formed in California in 1987 and quickly became one of the defining names of early American death metal.
Chris Reifert had previously played with Death and appeared on the influential album Scream Bloody Gore before launching Autopsy with Eric Cutler.
The group released four albums through Peaceville Records before disbanding in 1995. Members later continued making music with Abscess.
Autopsy officially returned in 2010 after a lengthy hiatus and released the EP The Tomb Within before beginning a new chapter with the 2011 studio album Macabre Eternal.
The band's longtime core lineup of Chris Reifert, Eric Cutler and Danny Coralles remains active today, while Greg Wilkinson's remastering work connects the group's current era with one of its most celebrated early recordings.
