Avulsed – Nordic Embryogenesis
Xtreme Music
10,0/10,0
Brief:
Album consisting entirely of 11 covers of Scandinavian Death Metal bands from the early 1990s, originating from Norway, Sweden and Finland. AVULSED resurrect here songs originally released on demos and EPs by genuine cult bands which, in some cases, never even managed to release a full-length album, yet still helped shape the original sound of Scandinavian Death Metal. Among the bands covered are FUNEBRE, CARBONIZED, OLD FUNERAL, ABHOTH, PHLEGETHON, CREMATORY, CARTILAGE and MACABRE END (pre-GOD MACABRE), among others.
Rather than simply reproducing the originals, AVULSED bring them into their own territory, reinterpreting them with their distinctive sound and personality while faithfully respecting the original structures and spirit. The result is a genuine declaration of love for the most authentic Death Metal of the early 1990s and, at the same time, an opportunity to discover some of those bands that remained in the shadows despite their importance in the development of the genre. As an additional attraction, each cover is accompanied by a recreation of the corresponding original artwork, while each logo has been transformed into an AVULSED version, turning the whole release into a genuine piece of Underground archaeology. A daring and fantastic gem that will delight both those already familiar with these bands and those discovering them for the first time.
