Der Kreis schließt sich, AVULSED teilen den elften und letzten Coversong von ihrer „Nordic Embryogenesis“ Scheibe, die am Mittwoch auf den Markt kommen wird. ABHORRENCE ist eine legendäre finnische Band, eine der Pre-AMORPHIS Formationen, und der Track ´Pestilential Mists´ ein brutaler Track von der 1990er 7”EP.
Mastermind Dave Rotten erläutert:
„The last of the covers comes from Finland. Just as ENTOMBED had their little history under the name NIHILIST before changing their name, AMORPHIS also had theirs under the name ABHORRENCE, releasing a demo in ’90 and a 7″EP before changing their name and recording another demo and several tracks for a failed split album with INCANTATION that same year, now under their new name. The style was basically the same before gradually evolving towards what would become their debut album in ’92, when they began moving towards a more melodic style, although they still retained their heavy Death Metal foundation.
Needless to say, that ABHORRENCE demo and 7″EP were among the most brutal and aberrant things coming out of Finland. That filthy, ultra-thick sound, along with those guttural vocals, was out of this world. Fucking amazing!! I even remember seeing them live in August 1992, in the classroom of a small school in Joensuu (in the west of the country, almost in Russia), where they played alongside bands like BEHERIT, PHLEGETHON, DISGRACE, MORDICUS, UNHOLY… At the time, they still hadn’t released their first album and already had a live keyboard player, but fuck, seeing that was indescribable!
The song chosen belongs to the ’90 7″EP, which featured a more controlled and defined sound than their first demo. This cover is, along with those of CREMATORY and FUNEBRE, undoubtedly one of the heaviest and densest of all the ones included on this compilation. The guitar sound we’ve achieved here is absolutely brutal, and that mixture of almost Grind parts with heavy mid-tempo passages creates a contrast that could only emerge so spontaneously and brilliantly when you were a kid and the rules about what could and couldn’t be done weren’t yet defined (according to purists)“.
