Fit For An Autopsy Releasing New Album "The Great Collapse"

New Jersey metal act Fit For An Autopsy just announced a new LP titled "The Great Collapse" that is due out March 17th, 2017 via Entertainment One (eOne) / Good Fight Music in North America and SPV overseas.

“'The Great Collapse' is a reflection on the current chaotic state of mankind’s relationship with the world, and it’s effect both outward and inward,” says guitarist and producer Will Putney. “It’s a dark and unsettling record that encapsulates a variety of approaches to aggressive music, and a definite expansion of our capabilities as a band.”

This will be the the band's fourth full-length record, continuing the momentum gained from a solid 200+ days of worldwide touring backing the release of "Absolute Hope Absolute Hell: in late 2015, as well "The Depression Sessions," a split release with The Acacia Strain and Thy Art Is Murder in 2016.

The band comments: “It’s going to be the strongest record in our catalog. The overall mood and atmosphere of this album feels fully realized and emotionally stirring.”

“When I write a song, I’m trying to feel emotionally connected to it. I really don’t like saying things that don’t matter over music that I want to matter,” adds Putney. “We’ve always addressed serious topics going back to our first album. We aren’t a politically charged band up on a podium yelling at people – anybody can relate to the aggression, anger, frustration, and sadness often communicated in our music. But we absolutely raise important questions in the lyrics. Those themes are there to discover.”

Putney’s fellow guitarist/cofounder, Patrick Sheridan, strongly agrees. He emphasizes that while the music of Fit For An Autopsy may evolve it will always be aggressive and will always have purpose. “We think it's important to carry that torch. Somebody's got to say something about the shit that's going on. If you're not using your music, which is a great platform, for something meaningful that you care about on some level, then you're kind of wasting it.”
