AVULSED is without any doubt the most veteran and constant
band in the Spanish extreme Metal scene since its inception in August '91. Being
the most active band in terms of releases (despite of not being a very prolific
band) and live performances around the world and never even taking a small break
ever since always being loyal to their Death Metal style.
The band has been developing its musical style through various demos ("Embalmed
in Blood"-'92, "Deformed
Beyond Belief"-'93 and "Promo'95")
a 7"EP ("Carnivoracity"-'94)
which was later re-released as a mini CD ("Carnivoracity")
until they recorded their debut album ("Eminence
in Putrescence"-'96) through Repulse Rec. where the band showed
its pure Death Metal sound mixing up both heavy & brutal riffs with melodic
parts being the very first spanish extreme Metal (Death, Black, Grind...)
band to get a deal with not only one, but two foreign labels in the year '93
for the release of their 7"EP and split 12"LP that were released
in '94.
With "Cybergore"-'98
the band proved that there's no boundaries in music and mixed extreme Techno
with their traditional Death Metal guitar sound & vocals. In April '99
a colombian label offered the band to release all their demos and unreleased
rare recordings on CD ("Seven
Years of Decay"-'99).
The second album ("Stabwound
Orgasm"-'99). Was recorded at Spacelab Studios located in Kempen
(Germany) to secure a first-class production and was mastered by James Murphy
in California. Again released by Repulse Rec., this album doubled in sales
to its predecessor and was licensed by various labels in South-America (Sylphorium),
USA/Canada (World War III) and Russia (IronD). In January 2001, the band entered
the studios again, this time with producer Roberto Galán, known for
his job as sound engineer of the biggest alternative Metal band in Spain HAMLET
to record 4 cover songs for different tribute albums which were finally put
together as a self'financed MCD ("Bloodcovered"-'01)
in a very limited run of 500 copies available only through the band.
In August '02, the band travelled again to Germany's Spacelab Studios to record
their 3rd album "Yearning
for the Grotesque" which came out in Feb.'03 through italian
label AvantGarde Music after countless delays and resulting on a very dissapointing
work from the label which caused a premature termination of their contract
requested by the band in order to be able to find a more suitable label.
The band's 4th full-length album "Gorespattered
Suicide" was recorded in Madrid at VRS Studios and the masters
were later sent to Erik Rutan (HATE ETERNAL/ ex-MORBID ANGEL) who mixed &
mastered the album at his own Mana Recording Studios at Florida being released
in January '05 by Slovakian label Metal Age Prod. Being followed by a tour
in Japan (April '05), European fests like London DeathFest, Obscene Extreme
(Czech Rep.), Uncover Train Fest (Paris), plus a completeEuropean tour (15
shows/11 countries) as headliners together with Italian Grinders GRIMNESS
69.
"Reanimations"-'06 was released by Xtreem Music and shortly after
also by Metal Age Prod. It included two new songs, a new version from a 1st
demo song, 3 covers songs (WASP, GOREFEST & EXODUS), plus 8 bands doing
covers from AVULSED songs. September '07 sees the first official DVD release
by AVULSED with the "Reanimating
Russia 2007", recorded in Moscow in June '07 during the band's
second Russian tour, and released by Coyote Rec.
After 3 years touring and doing fests, like Mexico '06, Russia '06 and '07,
Bringer of Death (Ger), Neurotic Death Fest (Hol), Italia '07, Kaltenbach
Open Air (Aus), Mountains of Death (Swi), among many others, AVULSED focuses
on their upcoming 5th full-length album "Nullo
(The Pleasure of Self-Mutilation)"-'09 recorded in Madrid at
Room 101 Studios between October '08 and May '09 with Javier Fernández
(THE HERETIC/ NEXUS 6) as engineer and producer together with the band, resulting
the most aggressive, straight, and complete work in AVULSED career, including
all the defining elements for the brutal, catchy, intense and heavy Death
Metal that is already the genuine band's trademark!! Including the sick art
and design from Mike Hrubovcak (Grave, Monstrosity, Mortician, Cattle Decapitation...).
This album was simultaneously released in June '09 through Xtreem Music &
Metal Age Prod. in Europe, Coyote Rec. in Russia and will see upcoming releases
by Ibex Moon Rec. in the US, American Line Prod. in Mexico/Central America
and Sylphorium for the south American territory.
Regarding live performances, AVULSED has gained a strong reputation
as one of the most intense, aggressive & ferocious bands on stage.
Nearly 400 live appearances around the planet where the band has performed
three full European Tours (w/SINISTER-'96, w/INCANTATION-'97 and as
headliners in '05) and even crossed the Atlantic Ocean 4 times already
to play 2 shows in Venezuela (Sept.'99), a 12-dates tour as headliner
through central America (May'00) in countries like USA/California (2),
Mexico (4), Guatemala (2), El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua & Costa
Rica and to play on the 3rd Metal Meltdown Festival in USA/New Jersey
(Apr.'01) and a full 9-shows tour in Mexico '06 as well as 2 shows in
Japan '05 and three Russian tours ('06/'07/'09).

The story has just begun for AVULSED after 18 years of non-stopping
devotion to something of what the band has already become a synonym:
Death Metal!!
