Fit For An Autopsy Premiere "Heads Will Hang" Playthrough Video
Today, GuitarWorld.com presents the exclusive premiere of Fit For An Autopsy's new "Heads Will Hang" guitar-playthrough video.

"When I write a song, I’m trying to feel emotionally connected to it. I really don’t like saying things that don’t matter over music that I want to matter," says Will Putney, guitarist, principal songwriter and Fit For An Autopsy cofounder. "We’ve always addressed serious topics going back to our first album. We aren’t a politically charged band up on a podium yelling at people—anybody can relate to the aggression, anger, frustration and sadness often communicated in our music. But we absolutely raise important questions in the lyrics. Those themes are there to discover."
