FROM XTREEM MUSIC: 

 

AVULSED 1st cover song unveiled: FUNEBRE
Avulsed unveils the first advance track from its upcoming covers album "Nordic Embryogenesis" with a crushing reinterpretation of "Expunging Mortalities", a dark hidden gem taken from the 1990 second demo of Finnish Death Metal cult act FUNEBRE.
You can listen to the song here:
Dave Rotten himself comments the following about this song:
"One of the very first choices for this album was, without a doubt, FUNEBRE. This Finnish band released two demos in 1989 and 1990 before putting out their only full-length album in 1991, showcasing a darker, denser, and more oppressive vision of Death Metal than was common at the time. Their sound exuded a putrid and sickly atmosphere, with an almost Doom-like aura in places, clearly influenced by the earliest days of PARADISE LOST, while remaining firmly rooted in the same territory as bands like PURTENANCE, ABHORRENCE, and AUTOPSY.
The song we chose, "Expunging Mortalities", comes from their second demo, released in 1990, and never made it onto the album. In fact, I have always felt that this demo represents the true essence of FUNEBRE far better, capturing all the filth, heaviness, and darkness that defined the band. Unfortunately, much of that magic was lost on the album itself, most likely due to the production by Timo Tolkki, which significantly softened the band's sound and moved it away from how it should have sounded in the first place.
Furthermore, vocalist Jari Heinonen has always been one of my main influences within Death Metal. Perhaps, when listening to this version and comparing it to the original, you'll be able to spot some similarities that I've never tried to hide".
Under the title "Nordic Embryogenesis", the band pays tribute to the deepest roots of Scandinavian Death Metal through a covers album unlike any other. Don't expect songs by world-famous bands or the usual classics everyone knows. Instead, this is an archaeological journey into the primitive depths of Swedish, Finnish, and Norwegian Death Metal, resurrecting tracks from cult demos and EP's that, in many cases, were the only recordings those bands ever left behind.
Some of these acts disappeared before even releasing a full-length album, yet all of them helped shape the sound and identity of a scene that would eventually change the history of extreme Metal. For AVULSED, these songs are part of their musical DNA and represent a unique opportunity to bring back to life works unfairly forgotten by time.
The reconstruction process has been monumental. In none of the cases, no sheet music, transcriptions, or documentation existed. Many guitar riffs, drum patterns, and vocal lines had to be deciphered note by note directly from old recordings, and in some cases even the lyrics had to be recovered from virtually impossible-to-find sources. A true excavation into Death Metal history.
But the surprises don't end there.
In another move that is practically unprecedented within the Metal scene, the eleven songs that make up "Nordic Embryogenesis" will be unveiled individually, one per week, each accompanied by its own exclusive artwork. The band will not even reveal the tracklist or the names of the bands being covered beforehand, keeping speculation and anticipation alive right up to the album's final release, scheduled for September 9th on CD, 12"LP, cassette, and digital formats through XTREEM MUSIC.
Some of the selected bands will be familiar to dedicated old-school Death Metal followers. Others will be a complete revelation even to the most obsessive collectors. What they all share is that, in one way or another, they helped forge the spirit and sound that gave birth to AVULSED when the band was formed in the summer of 1991.
The drums were recorded at The Empty Hall Studios (Madrid) during April, while the guitars were tracked between March and May at Acórdica Studios (Zaragoza). Vocals were recorded at Sanctuary Studios (Cáceres). Mixing was handled by Alejandro Lobo at Acórdica Studios during May and June, while mastering was carried out by Davide Billia at MKII Studios in Italy. The cover artwork was created by Indonesian artist Rudi Yanto.
A new piece of this dark puzzle will be revealed every week until September 4th.
