AVULSED, formed in 1991 by their vocalist Dave Rotten, has maintained almost 34 years of uninterrupted devotion to Death Metal. Despite recently undergoing a drastic lineup change—where only Dave Rotten and drummer Santiago Arroyo "GoG" continued with the band—they quickly recovered with the incorporation of new members Alejandro Lobo (guitar), Alex Nihil (bass), and Victor Dws (guitar). Together, this revitalized lineup has completed the composition and recording of their new album while continuing an active live schedule.
Phoenix Cryptobiosis, the band’s 8th studio album, marks their first release of original material in 12 years since Ritual Zombi. The album promises to be a step forward in AVULSED's sound and style, maintaining their hallmark characteristics while presenting notable progress in all aspects. While some tracks were penned by former members, the majority of the material was written by the current lineup, adding a fresh dynamic to the band’s sound.
The album was recorded between September and October across multiple studios, mixed at Acórdica Studios by guitarist Alejandro Lobo, and mastered at MK2 Studio (Ivrea, Italy) by Davide Billia, known for his work with bands like Beheaded and Antropofagus. The stunning cover art, crafted by Ukrainian artist Daemorph Art, captures the album’s theme of resurgence.
According to Dave Rotten: "The title of the album, although it had already been half decided for many years with the word "Cryptobiosis", has been somewhat prophetic, since cryptobiosis is a state that consists of the suspension of the metabolic processes, in which some living beings enter when environmental conditions become extreme. Avulsed has remained in a state of cryptobiosis for many years and it is now that the ideal conditions have been met for it to re-emerge, as a phoenix, of the beast unleashed in all its splendor, fury and power".
The first single, Lacerate to Dominate, offers a glimpse into the band’s renewed spirit. The track is now streaming on all major platforms, capturing the raw energy and fierce delivery that fans have come to expect from Avulsed.
