Originally forged from the pus-ridden murk of Portland, Oregon in 2017, Autophagy has been gnawing their way through the rotted corpse pile of the current death metal takeover of extreme music as if a hot knife through butter. Supporting legends Sadistic Intent in their first live performance, Autophagy have continued to pursue their calculated debauchery, and summon their beastly live act only for the most gruesome of crowds.
At the most recent of those performances, the suppurate hoard attending Death Over Mexico 2020 were inhumanely imposed to the most brutal set from Autophagy to date, as the onslaught of their Swedish influences featured in their demo shared the stage with the beginnings of a bludgeoning, new and impelling brutal sound that is, on their LP Bacteriophage, honed tighter than the maw of an Aboleth.
Decibel Magazine hosted an exclusive stream of Autophagy’s newest “viciously good album” put out by Pulverised Records, released September 30th, 2022. In it they said: “Back in 2018, Portland death metal quartet Autophagy released their first demo. They included a cover of Nihilist’s “Supposed to Rot” as one of the demo‘s four tracks. But the Swedeath rot ‘n’ roll reverence doesn’t mean that Autophagy are just graverobbing riffs from early ’90s Stockholm. On their debut LP Bacteriophage their sound emerges from midnight swamplands drenched in crust and black mud.”
Current members of Autophagy hail from projects new and old such as Bastard Feast, Bell Witch, Hallow, Dispossessed, Dödläge, Transient and Bedlamite. The music Autophagy performs was composed additionally by past members of Ritual Necromancy and Sempiternal Dusk.
