艺人介绍

Avulsed乐队来自西班牙,1992年组建,当时的原始阵容包括主唱Dave Rotten、鼓手Toni和贝司手Lucky,有趣的是这个三人组合中竟然没有一名吉他手,可见当时的Avulsed还相当的不成熟,不过在短短的三个星期之后,乐队有了第一名吉他手Luisma,因此乐队也得以录制了第一张小样“Embalmed In Blood”,尽管只有两首歌曲,但好歹算是迈出了艰难的第一步。随后第二名吉他手cabra加入了Avulsed,这算得上是乐队的一个转折点,因为当时Cabra的演奏技巧明显高出其他乐队成员一筹,为乐队带来了无限的活力。1993年,Avulsed录制了包括五首歌曲的第二张小样“Deformed Beyond Belief”,音乐水准相比前作有了极大的提高,同年他们还在一张西班牙乐队参与的合辑“Dead Flesh Compilation”中奉献了两首歌曲。1994年,不断进步中的Avulsed乐队得到了一家希腊唱片公司的赏识,将他们的第二张小样和希腊乐队Acid Death的歌曲放到一起作为一张split CD出版发行,这也是他们继1993年底在德国的M.M.I.唱片公司录制了EP唱片“Carnivoracity”后又一次成功的出击。这之后,乐队的阵容发生了一些变化,鼓手tony由前Intoxication乐队成员Furni替代,而吉他手Luisma的个人主义态度本来就为其他乐队成员所不容,更何况他的吉他演奏水平低下显然不适合乐队今后的发展则,因此他的位置被前Sacrophobia乐队的Juancar取代也成了顺理成章的事情,Juancar被认为是一位极为出色的吉他手,水平是可以和Cabra平起平坐的。

随着乐队阵容的固定,他们积蓄已久的能量得以猛烈的喷发,首先为了展示新阵容的能力,乐队录制了一张包括两首歌曲的promo-Tape,赢得了极多的正面评价。之后repulse唱片公司再版了他们的EP“Carnivoracity”并加入了八首充满爆发力的现场歌曲,而几乎同时意大利的Cryptic Soul唱片公司邀请他们进行了一次小型的意大利巡回演出,同时参加演出的还包括Vader、Deranged、Sinister等著名乐队。1996年,Avulsed的第一张完整专辑唱片“Eminence In Putrescence”由Repulse唱片公司出版发行,这是一张饱经磨难的处女作,在唱片录制期间,贝司手Lucky由于个人原因离队由Ivan取代,而原始的素材由于荷兰录音师的失误被迫进行了第二次的缩混,不过毕竟Avulsed还是创出了一定的名气,随后乐队展开了大规模的欧洲巡回演出,同台表演的乐队包括Incantation、Deeds Of Flesh、Adramelech等优秀的死亡金属乐队。其间乐队曾经有一次很宝贵的机会进行一次从美国到墨西哥、智利、阿根廷、乌拉圭的美洲巡演,但是很遗憾由于资助这次演出的infamy乐队的贝司手兼主唱josh突然死亡,Avulsed被迫放弃了这次计划。不过“好酒不怕巷子深”,Avulsed乐队不懈的努力还是得到了广泛的承认,2000年他们参加了有5000多名歌迷参加的第二界barbarian Rock Festival,与manowar, Napalm Death, Cradle Of Filth, Hammerfall等乐队分享了舞台上的荣耀。同年他们的第二张专辑唱片“stabwound Orgasm”发行,并成为repulse公司力捧的重量级作品,Avulsed也逐渐成为西班牙首屈一指的Brutal Death Metal乐队,同时也成为世界范围内颇具影响力的死亡金属乐队之一。

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. Over 400 live appearances around the planet where the band has performed four full European Tours (w/SINISTER-'96, w/INCANTATION-'97 and as headliners in '05 & '09) and even crossed the Atlantic Ocean 6 times already to play 2 shows in Colombia (Oct. '11), 2 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 IX Maryland Deathfest (May.'11) as well as a full 9-shows tour in Mexico '06 and 2 shows in Japan '05 and 4 Russian tours ('06/'07/'09/'11). The band has shared stage with hundreds of bands from big acts like SLAYER, OZZY OSBOURNE or NAPALM DEATH to the most underground ones.

In 2011, AVULSED performed some killer shows at such renowned festivals as Maryland Deahfest (USA), Way of Darkness (Germany), Killtown Deathfest (Denmark) and Altavoz (Colombia). However, 2012 didn't start too well for the band, which immersed in writing process for a new album, had to take the difficult decision of parting way with their drummer Riky. Just one month later, Osckar joined the band as the new drummer and AVULSED continued working, harder than ever, writing new material to complete the band's 6th full length album &Ritual Zombi& which was recorded during the first half of 2013 and being released in September 1st on a never-seen-before orchestrated simultaneous release in 10 different releases (7on CD, one on 12&LP, one on cassette and digital) on 9 different labels around the world.

The story continues for AVULSED after 22 years of non-stopping devotion to something of what the band has already become a synonym: Death Metal!!

※ Dave Rotten: Vocals

※ Cabra: Guitar
