I jeszcze jeden cover od AVULSED

 

The "Nordic Embryogenesis" machine continues its inexorable march, and its sixth strike lands squarely in Sweden. AVULSED revives "The Exordium", a track as brutal as it is crushing, taken from CREMATORY's 1990 demo of the same name.

Dave Rotten himself comments the following about this song:

"One of the most brutal bands in the Swedish scene, without a doubt, was CREMATORY. Although they had already recorded a single track in 1989, "The Exordium" can really be considered their first proper demo, featuring four songs and an absolutely crushing sound. While most other bands were obsessed with following the path laid down by NIHILIST (ENTOMBED), DISMEMBER and CARNAGE, and, almost simultaneously, GROTESQUE (AT THE GATES) on the other side of the country, CREMATORY opted for a blend of Death Metal with almost Grind-like touches during their most chaotic moments, all wrapped in an ultra-heavy sound that placed them closer to bands like FUNEBRE, ROTTREVORE, ABHORRENCE or GRAVE.

Stefan Harrvik's vocals, who also sang on NECROPHOBIC's second demo and their subsequent EP, were simply monstrous and made him one of my favourite vocalists and, of course, one of my main influences. So, alongside the singers from FUNEBRE and GOD MACABRE, here you have some of the vocalists who had the greatest impact on shaping my own style. There were certainly others, but these were among the most important. The other three members would later go on to REGURGITATE, leaving only guitarist Urban Skitt, who, together with drummer Mats Nordrup, currently plays in GENERAL SURGERY.

I'm well aware that CREMATORY's most popular demo is the following one, "Wrath From the Unknown", which I also absolutely love. But this project isn't about choosing the songs everyone would expect or want to hear, it's about picking the ones that mean the most to me. And this first demo was truly mind-blowing, with a dense sound, a certain sense of chaos and an overwhelming filth that are precisely what give it such a brutally unique atmosphere. Unfortunately, after releasing a third demo and an EP in 1992, the band split up and never reunited".

A new piece of this dark puzzle will be revealed every friday until September 4th.
