When the Death Metal sprawled out his fingers all over the world, he also fingered Madrid, the beautiful capital of Spain and so in 1991 a young man who did his military service decided to make noise, to rape his vocal chords and to sing about happenings which shouldn't be told during the lunch. Accordingly his synonym: Dave Rotten
And so, one year later the demo Embalmed In Blood of the band AVULSED had been created and up to the new album, a dozen of CD’s followed all published on various labels. On the Slovakian label Metal Age they released their new Death Metal masterpiece called Gorespattered Suicide, which had been mixed by Erik Rutan (Hate Eternal, ex- Morbid Angel) at his Mana Studios in Florida.
I'm not able to understand the CD's cover artwork, it looks like a failed 3 some, or maybe it shows that every other woman is evil.
According to the band's statement this record has to be the most brutal and most aggressive work of them. Since I don't know the predecessors, I cannot say if there is an improvement, but it doesn't lack of intensity.
AVULSED aren't making anything new or innovative, they are neither the fastest, nor the most brutal, but they managed to deliver 12 hammering Death Metal tracks, which are having enough power to give the listener the right feeling. The songs don't sound monotonous or copied, they have enough ass kicking power to make fun while they are hammering your brain to pulp!
45 minutes of hammering, carnage and grunts. Nearly every track is upgraded by brilliant guitar solos.
But in any case, the guitar work of this album is excellent, the grunts are thoroughgoing and evil, just the drums are too low to blast all away.
Finally you hear a well-known sound, because the butchers from Spain made their own version of the Motörhead cult-song Ace Of Spades and put it onto the album.
Although this is nothing originally, but it sounds very good.
Freaks of this genre and fans of bloody carnage will get their money worth and will be very satisfied with Gorespattered Suicide.
