NEWS: Avulsed take us out to a funeral?

Xtreem Music have announced that they will be releasing a new album titled “Nordic Embryogenesis” by Avulsed on 9th September. What could be a third advanced single from that has been shared by the Madrid Death Metal horde in Old Funeral cover “Abduction of Limbs” which probably means more Death, Gore, Mutilation and Zombies await. Are you ready?

Dave Rotten comments: “The Norwegian band OLD FUNERAL absolutely drove me crazy with their second demo, “Abduction of Limbs” (1990). I must have listened to it thousands of times! Their style was very different from what was happening in Sweden or Finland, delivering a sick, twisted, unpredictable, and ever-changing blend of influences from bands like CARCASS, MORBID ANGEL and IMMOLATION, but with an even darker and more sinister atmosphere. Interestingly, a certain Olve Eikemo, better known as Abbath, future leader of IMMORTAL, handled bass and vocals in the band. Even more curious, a certain Christian, later known worldwide as Varg Vikernes of BURZUM, played guitar on the 7″EP they recorded a year after this demo. OLD FUNERAL never released a full-length album. As far as I knew back then, they actually started recording one but never finished it. Some of those recordings later surfaced on a compilation featuring both demos, the EP, and a few live tracks, which ultimately became the complete legacy of this outstanding band. I wasn’t entirely sure how this cover would turn out, as it’s a style quite different from our own, and deciphering some of the instrumental parts was a real challenge. But honestly, I think we’ve achieved an incredible result!”
