“Put your legs in the flames”
This is one winter wonderland you won’t be walking in. Autopsy’s In The Grip Of Winter is one of my absolute favourite death metal tracks. It’s a tale of arctic demise, perfectly expressed with (impending) doom metal swagger, panic-stricken death metal hammering and blizzardy guitar solos. It’s brilliant stuff and one of the tracks I always spin the minute I feel a chill in the air. There’s an even frostier version of this on the Mental Funeral album but this earlier version (from 1991’s Retribution For The Dead EP) emphasises the doom with its humongous, fat sound. But, no matter which version you hear, In The Grip Of Winter is a stone cold classic.

Id there a line about using the corpse of your enemy as a handy draught excluder?

Interesting musical arrangement how it moves from that Metal like start to a Sabbath like doom groove.

Yes they’re known as death metal guys but there’s tons of doom riffs in their stuff.
