Autopsy is a compilation album by 45 Grave, released in 1987 by Enigma Records. Recorded in the band's early days, it contains previously unreleased songs (many originally written and recorded by guitarist Paul B. Cutler's first band, the Consumers) and alternate versions of tracks that were later rerecorded on the band's 1984 debut album, Sleep in Safety. Also included was the previously released 1981 single "Black Cross" and its B-side "Wax."

Black Cross

"Black Cross" is 45 Grave's debut single, released in 1981 on Goldar Records. It and B-side "Wax" were not featured on their 1984 debut album, Sleep in Safety, but were both later included on the Autopsy collection, and remained staples of their live performances. Former Germs guitarist Pat Smear plays additional guitar on the B-side of the single. "Black Cross" was covered by alternative rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers on their Live in Hyde Park album.
