Fit For An Autopsy is the amplified angry whispering of eggs. That's the image I see when listening to Fit For An Autopsy. Cynical lyrics are being shouted at all times as the music consists of the rhythmical blastbeaty mashing of eggs. Melodical approach, if any, has been diminished to create dissonant sounds rather than articulated notes. Deathcore is thumpcore, yet again.
The first two albums, The Process Of Human Extermination and Hellbound, were completely forgettable chugsoup. Then, I catch a tiny speck of development in the next three albums of Absolute Hope, Absolute Hell, The Great Collapse and The Sea Of Tragic Beasts. There are other guitar-made sounds coming into the mix. Some little flavour from France, perhaps? Except Gojira utilizes rhythms, riffs, melodies and harsh vocals way more brilliantly, and even borrowing a little from them does not make Fit For an Autopsy by any means original. Not by a long shot.
During The Sea Of Tragic Beasts, I began to fear, this is not getting any better, is it? It's the lyrics in those albums that make me cringe. Whether it's the immense self-pity in "Unloved" or "Storm Drains" or any other song where they are on the brink of manly yet sad suicide. There is not a lot to grasp, and if the music reflects the personalities within the band, then it creates a very uptight and tense image of who Fit For an Autopsy are. There is no relaxation in the chugs. But that could just be the nature of the beast in this specimen of deathcore.
It's in Oh What The Future Holds where Fit For an Autopsy crosses the line from impersonal nonsense territory to actually making music. It just took ten years and finally they release an actual metal album. Songs like "Pandora", "Far From Heaven" and "Two Towers" have dynamic moments to let the songs breathe and make heavy moments matter more. "Pandora" has a tasty solo, and the cleanish vocals work too. "Far From Heaven", "A Higher Level Of Hate", and "Collaretal Damage" push grooves where that aforementioned tenseness is thrown in the backseat. There are defined riffs here and there. I don't care if all this is the "Gojira-esque" progressiveness some are referring to. To me, it doesn't really matter. I hear a band who finally got the clue of how to serve angriness and intensity in ways to make it hit home. Oh What The Future Holds is also the most consistent album from start to finish.

You can say a lot of things about Fit For An Autopsy, but comparing them to eggs (twice) is definitely an, uh, refreshing insight. That said, what exactly do you mean by "the amplified angry whispering of eggs"? Genuinely curious to understand your imagery here.
