AVULSED is the most veteran and constant band in the Spanish extreme Metal scene and since since its inception in August '91, the band has always been synonym of true Death Metal. 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"-'95), a split LP with Greek ACID DEATH ("Split LP"-'94) until they recorded their debut album ("Eminence In Putrescence"-'96) 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.After this debut album, an exception was done in the career of the band with a re-mixes album ("Cybergore"-'98) where once again, the band proved that there's no boundaries in music and mixed extreme Techno with their traditional Death Metal guitar sound & vocals. This experiment didn't mean a change in the band's sound, but a point of variety which surely took the scene by surprise. 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).However, the band continued working on new material for their long awaited 2nd album ("Stabwound Orgasm"-'99). For this work, AVULSED opted to record at Spacelab Studios located in Kempen (Germany) to secure a first-class production avoiding to sound like any other bands (just like it happens in Sweden) and sent the master to James Murphy in California to do the mastering at his own Sound Temple Studios in San Francisco. Having solved all sound matters, the only thing left was to choose an artist that fitted the new artistic concept of the band. Being tired of the typical drawings with monsters and guts, the band decided to go for a change and use both real images & computer effects to create what's their most shocking & impressive cover artwork. This album has doubles in sales to its predecessor and has been licensed in CD format with 2 bonus tracks 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 (kind of spanish version of DEFTONES…), to record 4 cover songs for different tribute albums. The bands/songs are: MORBID ANGEL "Immortal Rites", CARCASS "Embryonic Necropsy & Devourment", CANNIBAL CORPSE "Edible Autopsy" and SODOM "Magic Dragon". Due to the big demand of the fans, the band decided to do a very strictly self-produced limited edition of a mini CD including these 4 covers plus a live recording of SEPULTURA's "Inner Self". This MCD ("Bloodcovered"-'01) is a limited to 500 copies available only through the band.In January 2001, the band signed to italian AvantGarde Music for two albums. The 3rd album of the band "Yearning For The Grotesque" was recorded again in Germany at the Spacelab Studios in August 2002 and came out in February 2003. Despise of the great album and the excellent reviews everywhere, the band and the album didn't get any kind of attention from the label, so shortly after the release of it, the band decided to break the contract and search for a new label. Several offers came from labels like Crash, Code 666, Blackend & Metal Age amongst the most relevant ones, and it was this latest one who ended up signing AVULSED on their rooster.Regarding live performances, AVULSED has gained a strong reputation as one of the most aggressive & ferocious bands on stage. After more than 125 live appearances where the band has performed two full European Tours (w/SINISTER-'96 & w/INCANTATION-'97) and even crossed the Atlantic Ocean for three times 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).The band has played with such bands as NAPALM DEATH, DESTRUCTION, MANOWAR, CRADLE OF FILTH, SUFFOCATION, ENTOMBED, DISSECTION, VADER, CRYPTOPSY, IMPALED NAZARENE, DISGORGE (mex), NILE, VOMITORY, AMORPHIS, OPETH, CATHEDRAL, PRIMAL FEAR, YATTERING, INFAMY, DETERIOROT, CENOTAPH, INCANTATION, MONSTROSITY, MORTICIAN, GORGUTS, DIABOLIC, DYING FETUS, GORGASM, FLOTSAM & JETSAM, DEEDS OF FLESH, DERANGED, SIX FEET UNDER, JESUS MARTYR, BLOOD, ADRAMELECH, KRISIUN, ENSLAVED, CENTINEX, FLESHGRIND, MALIGNANCY, PESSIMIST, CATASTROPHIC, GOD FORBID, PAIN, CRUCIBLE, ANASARCA, STRATUZ, ABORTED, PANDEMIA and tons of others.The recordings for the band's 4th full length album "Gorespattered Suidice" were booked for August 2004, but just 4 months before this, long time drummer Furni decided to leave the band due to personal reasons, but an immediate replacement was founf in Riky, a very young but talented drummer that not only learnt all the new songs, but the old ones, being able to play his first gig with AVULSED just 40 days after he joined the band!! The album was recorded in Madrid at VRS Studios and the masters were sent to Erik Rutan (HATE ETERNAL/ ex-MORBID ANGEL) who mixed & mastered the album at his own Mana Recording studios in Florida. The result was awesome and this is without any doubt the most violent, intense and brutal AVULSED album to date. This album came out in January 2005 and the band is now ready to conquer not only Europe with some killer festival appearances, but also on a small tour through Japan, Australia & New Zealand scheduled for April 2005!!Current line-up:Dave Rotten: Vocals Cabra: Guitar Juancar: Guitar Tana: Bass Ricky: Drums
