Originally released through the now-defunct Repulse imprint, Avulsed's polarizing 1998 experiment Cybergore has recently been reissued through the Russian goregrind label Coyote Records...a quick scan of reviews and feedback that generated from the underground metal scene when this album first came out show that it was pretty much universally scorned within the death/grind scene, but I think it's pretty fucking rad. Avulsed are a long running Spanish death metal outfit that have been delivering gutteral, downtuned death splattered in gore and viscera since 1992, similiar to early 90's death metallers Suffocation and Immolation. Their first full-length Eminence in Putrescence found a cult following with hardcore death metal freaks, but then in the late 90's Avulsed came up with the idea to put together an album of techno/drum n' bass remixes of stuff mostly from their first album. Yep, techno remixes, real remixes, and the result is a brutal, hypnotic deathmetal/techno/d'n'b hybrid, with detuned razor-edged riffs looped together and gutteral toilet bowl vocals belching over relentlessly pulsating glow-stick beats and frenzied breaks. Zach here at C-Blast says that Avulsed reminds him of Dieselboy gone full-blown deathgrind, which sounds pretty accurate to me. Like I mentioned before, this album was hated by most death metal fans when it came out, apparently even diehard Avulsed fans weren't really feeling their foray into raver death, but fans of more futuristic-sounding, adventurous, weird and beat-driven death/black metal sounds like Dodheimshard, Void, Aborym and the like would probably be pretty stoked on this...we've been listening to this disc nonstop since we got 'em in. Raver death is the shit for jamming while we're handling all of the sundry tasks of daily Crucial Blast life. This re-issue also contains some enhanced CD-ROM stuff including a professionally filmed music video for the Avulsed song "Powdered Flesh" as well as bio, discography, and live concert information spanning their career.
