UMUR
"Live in Perfect Deformity" is the third demo recording by Spanish death metal act Avulsed. The demo was released through Putrefy Tape-Mag in June 1993. It was recorded live at the Revolver Club, Madrid, Spain on April 10th, 1993. The date is interesting as this live show was recorded during the same period Avulsed recorded their second demo "Deformed Beyond Belief" (recorded at El Jardin Parametrico Studios on April 9-11, 1993.), so obviously the band both found time to record in the studio and play and record a live show. This was only the third show the band played since their inception.
The demo features seven tracks and a total playing time of 37:31 minutes. Two tracks are from the October 1992 "Embalmed in Blood" demo, four tracks are from the May 1993 "Deformed Beyond Belief" demo (which of course hadn´t been released at this point), and the last track is a cover of "Mutilating Process" by Dutch death metal band Asphyx. The sound quality and the performances are decent considering that this is a demo live recording done by a band, who had only played two shows before this one. I´m actually a little surprised that the recording sounds this good.
"Live in Perfect Deformity" is a hard demo to find, and other than the Asphyx cover being included on the original version of the 1999 "Seven Years of Decay" compilation album (the cover is not available on the digital version of the compilation), I´m not sure Avulsed have reissued any of the other live tracks from "Live in Perfect Deformity". A 3 star (60%) rating is warranted.
