Radical Research Podcast

As Hunter so aptly calls it early in this short episode: “Fiend for Blood is an EP that is in the process of dying.”         After the classic Mental Funeral of 1991, Autopsy released the Fiend for Blood EP as its follow-up. Those who were there in 1991 would have already recognized Mental Funeral as a towering achievement of death metal and, indeed, time has proven us right on that score. But Fiend for Blood impressed less. It was even more garage-y, it was a mere 12 minutes, and, at first, it felt like a mere afterthought. In the thinking of at least one Radical Research host, however, it is the band’s second-best recording in their entire discography. We discuss this 12-minute EP in…well, a few more than 12 minutes.
