Fit For An Autopsy Announce Australian Tour
Prolific metal band Fit For An Autopsy will return to Australia in January 2026. The New Jersey heavyweights will be joined by Florida’s Bodysnatcher, rising Australian force Volatile Ways and Pain Body – uniting for one of the most crushing line-ups to hit Australian stages in years.
Fit For An Autopsy also deliver an unrelenting standalone single, perfectly titled “It Comes For You”. The track is an aggressive, full-throttle journey right out of the gate; masterfully blending the band’s older sound with the high-caliber production and songwriting that has become a hallmark of Fit For An Autopsy. “It Comes For You” was recorded earlier this year at Graphic Nature Audio in Kinnelon NJ with the bands own Will Putney handling the production, mixing and mastering. The cover artwork was created by Jorden Haley. Watch the visual onslaught that Eric Richter at Channel 13 Productions created for “It Comes For You” here.
Fit For An Autopsy’s Will Putney states, “An aggressive offering from our camp felt like an appropriate response to the current climate of class disparity and political overreach. Sometimes I feel like we’re beating a dead horse over here but it’s important to consistently remind the listener to remain intolerant of such authoritarian rule. Believe it or not, but one day, it comes for you.”
When Fit For An Autopsy return in 2026, they’ll be armed with their seventh and most ambitious album, The Nothing That Is (2024). A ringing wake-up call for humanity sleepwalking into a dystopian existence, The Nothing That Is is a thoroughly intense and complex aural experience, delivered with the confidence of a band that has honed its skills and sense of purpose through 15-plus years of all-out live shows that has made them one of the most respected names in modern metal. Before they land Down Under, Fit For An Autopsy will join Killswitch Engage on a 25-date trek across Europe and the UK, as well as a stop at Knotfest Mexico.
Coming to Australia with Fit For An Autopsy will be Florida bruisers Bodysnatcher. The devastating quartet deal in destruction and their 2024 EP, Vile Conduct, is a masterclass of unrelenting heavy, delivered by one of the best in the game. Next up is Newcastle’s Volatile Ways who have barged their way into the heavy music sphere with their explosive beatdown deathcore that has everyone on notice. Rounding out the line-up is Human Warfare’s newest signing Pain Body who marked their arrival as a new force in extreme music with their debut single “Hymns of Melancholy”.

ABOUT FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY
Fit For An Autopsy’s acclaimed 2022 album On What the Future Holds was the band’s highest-charting release to date, becoming the first of their six full-lengths to reach the Top 25 of the Billboard 200. But while some musicians would take such an achievement as a cue to duplicate whatever worked last time, or maybe even tailor their sound to boost its commercial appeal, the band—vocalist Joe Badolato, guitarists Will Putney, Patrick Sheridan, and Tim Howley, bassist Peter Spinazola, and drummer Josean Orta—simply continued to evolve along their own path. The Nothing That Is, Fit For An Autopsy’s seventh and latest album (and third for Nuclear Blast), bears no sign whatsoever of commercial concession or rehashed past glories. Instead, the ten-song album finds the band exploring moodier textures and deeper emotions that add new power and dynamics to their already brutal and complex music, while also completely tuning out the ambient noise of passing musical trends and the expectations of the outside world. Produced by Putney at his Graphic Nature Audio studio in Kinnelon, New Jersey, The Nothing That Is is an album filled with anger, frustration, and crushing despair. Songs like “Hostage“, “Red Horizon“, “Lower Purpose“, and the pummeling title track grapple with the horrors that the human race has unnecessarily inflicted upon the world, while the epic, introspective closer “The Silver Sun” reflects bitterly upon our uncertain future. Built to be listened to in its entirety in a single sitting, The Nothing That Is flows like the gripping soundtrack to a documentary film of our increasingly dystopian existence. A ringing wake-up call for humanity and a thoroughly intense listening experience, The Nothing That Is brims with both aggression and melody, it’s bracing music is delivered with the confidence of a band that has honed its skills and forged its sense of purpose through fifteen-plus years of all-out live shows. Sufficiently secure of their place in the metal firmament to let their music go wherever feels right for a particular song, Fit For An Autopsy have delivered what may well be the greatest album of their career.
