How a Jersey City deathcore band evolved through seventeen years of relentless creative output
In short: Formed in 2008, Fit for an Autopsy has become a fixture of the American deathcore scene. From their debut studio album in 2011 to their seventh release in 2024, the band has navigated lineup changes and label shifts while maintaining a consistent pace of production and touring across the globe.
Originating from Jersey City, New Jersey, the band was established in 2008. Their early years were marked by the release of a demo and their first EP, Hell on Earth, in 2009. The group solidified their presence in the metal scene with the 2011 release of their debut studio album, The Process of Human Extermination. Over the following decade, the band underwent several personnel transitions, most notably the departure of original vocalist Nate Johnson in 2014 and the subsequent addition of current lead vocalist Joe Badolato in 2015.
The band's discography reflects a steady trajectory of growth and collaboration. They have released seven studio albums since their formation, including notable records like 2015's Absolute Hope Absolute Hell and 2022's Oh What the Future Holds, which was recognized by Loudwire as one of the best rock and metal albums of its year. Their creative process often involves strategic partnerships, such as the 2016 split-EP The Depression Sessions with Thy Art Is Murder and The Acacia Strain, and its 2023 sequel, The Aggression Sessions, which featured Malevolence.
Beyond their studio work, the band has expanded their reach through high-profile touring opportunities, such as the 2022 Omens Tour alongside Lamb of God and Killswitch Engage. Since signing with Nuclear Blast, the band has maintained a rigorous release schedule, culminating in their seventh studio album, The Nothing That Is, released in October 2024. The current lineup includes guitarists Will Putney and Pat Sheridan, drummer Josean Orta, bassist Peter "Blue" Spinazola, and vocalist Joe Badolato, representing a stable core that has sustained the group's evolution for over a decade and a half.
