UMUR
"Deformed Beyond Belief" is the second demo recording by Spanish death metal act Avulsed. The demo was released through Drowned Productions in May 1993. It follows the release of the October 1992 "Embalmed in Blood" demo. Lead vocalist Dave Rotten was quite a prolific part of the early 90s European death metal scene. Not only as frontman for Avulsed but also in his role as label founder and boss of Drowned Productions.

Stylistically the 6 tracks, 23:16 minutes long demo features a contiuation of the old school death metal style of the "Embalmed in Blood" demo, although the more clear sounding (yet still raw and brutal sounding) production style allows for more details to be heard. The addition of a second guitarist to the lineup (Jose "Cabra") provides a heavier and more varied guitar attack. Rotten´s vocals are still of the predominantly unintelligible growling kind, but I can pick up a few more words than on "Embalmed in Blood".

"Deformed Beyond Belief" is upon conclusion a real treat for fans of the most raw, brutal, and old school oriented death metal. It´s grim, morbid, and savage sounding, and you won´t find any technical wankery here. This is as old school and authentic as it gets. A 3.5 star (70%) rating is deserved.
