Australian death-doom collective REEKMIND unveil the full stream of their new EP Glints From The Crematorium, now available through an exclusive premiere hosted by Death Metal Promotion. Set for release on July 24, 2026, via Night Terrors Records on CD and 12” vinyl formats. The new release expands the band’s bleak and immersive sonic identity, pushing their approach beyond the foundations established with their debut full-length.

Stream Glints From The Crematorium HERE.

Rooted in massive riffs, oppressive atmospheres and an overwhelming sense of emotional collapse, REEKMIND continues to channel a form of catharsis where despair and weight coexist in perfect balance. The new material preserves the raw and organic intensity that defined the band’s earlier work, while broadening its expressive scope through more fluid structures and a deeper focus on tension, contrast and immersive pacing.

The EP also features guest vocals by Daniel Butler (Vastum, Decrepisy, Acephalix) on “Flesh Draped on a Pitiful Frame”, adding an additional layer of hostility and anguish to the release. Furthermore, the track “Rehearsal in a Body of Death”will appear exclusively as a bonus track on the physical edition and will not be made available digitally.

Track-list:

1. Flesh Draped on a Pitiful Frame
2. Cyst Megalith
3. Rehearsal in a Body of Death (Bonus Track)

Line-up:

Dane – Vocals & Lyrics
Nicholas – Guitars
Lem – Bass
Ned – Drums

Recorded and mixed by Lewis Noke Edwards at Black Lodge Studios in August & October 2025.

Mastered by Dan Lowndes at Resonance Sound Studios.

Rehearsal In a Body of Death performed live at Black Lodge Studios.

Additional vocals on “Flesh Draped on a Pitiful Frame” by Daniel Butler.

Mental Funeral was Autopsy’s second studio album, originally released back in 1991, and is rightly hailed as one of the greatest death metal albums of all time with its unhinged and uncompromising collection of odes to brutality & depravity, wrapped up in its highly distinctive raw, organic production.

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of the seminal album, Peaceville will be releasing two new editions on August 14th, featuring newly remastered audio courtesy of current Autopsy bassist Greg Wilkinson at his Earhammer Studios.

Mental Funeral was recorded at Different Fur Studios in late 1990, with engineering work conducted by Ron Rigler. The iconic artwork appeared courtesy of Kev Walker, who had already provided the (at the time) controversial cover for Autopsy’s debut, Severed Survival.

The 35th anniversary editions of Mental Funeral will be available in 2 new formats:

• Red/Green ink spot vinyl, featuring newly remastered audio courtesy of current Autopsy bassist Greg Wilkinson at his Earhammer Studios.
• Double-disc edition containing remastered audio and a special bonus commentary disc, with Chris Reifert, Eric Culter, and Danny Coralles all sharing their recollections of the writing and recording process for the album, and its inspirations.

One of the early breed of US death metal acts, Autopsy formed in 1987 in San Francisco. Drummer/vocalist Chris Reifert had gained initial recognition with Floridian genre pioneers Death and his participation on the classic debut, Scream Bloody Gore before this new morbid creation was birthed. Autopsy released 4 albums on Peaceville Records in the early part of their career – beginning with the legendary debut, Severed Survival, in 1989 – before disbanding in 1995, with members going on to become the stalwarts of sickodelia in Abscess.

Autopsy triumphantly and officially returned from the grave after a 15-year hiatus with the 2010 EP, The Tomb Within. This was followed by the release of the band’s fifth studio album, Macabre Eternal, in 2011, as the group celebrated a new era of popularity and creativity. This reverence continues to this day as Autopsy itself nears its 40th anniversary and still features the longstanding core trio of Chris Reifert, Eric Cutler, and Danny Coralles.
