Auch mit dem dritten Track ihres kommenden Coveralbums tauchen AVULSED tief in den Nordic Death Metal mit ihrer packenden Reinterpretation von `Abduction of Limbs´, im Original vom zweiten Demo der Norweger OLD FUNERAL aus dem Jahr 1990. Die übrigen Tracks der für den 09. September geplanten „Nordic Embryogenesis“ Scheibe bleiben damit weiterhin geheim.
Dave Rotten über den Song:
„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!“.
