Rorschach - Autopsy

Rorschach was a band from New Jersey from 1989-1993. They recently reformed and if you get the chance to see them, take it. They are unreal.

Autopsy came out on Charles Maggio's (vocals) own label, Gern Blandsten. It runs the gamut from sludgy metal infused hardcore to strange mathy, almost industrial (think Swans) punk with bizarre chord shapes and unique rhythm patterns. Rorschach, in my opinion, laid the ground work for a lot of contemporary metal/hardcore bands and is owed an incredible amount of respect. They're not an unknown band but they definitely don't get the due credit that I think they deserve. They're not just that band with that guy who went on to be in Shai Hulud.
