Avulsed - Ritual Zombi (2013)

   Even though "Ritual Zombi" was only the 6th full-length album by Avulsed, the band showed impressive productiveness since the past 2 decades in form of various compilations, EPs and split releases. During this time, the band had an interesting musical journey, always trying to give a slightly different approach to their style, that could be described as gore and gross-out based old school death metal.
   This style they always preferred to keep, but they sometimes involved some elements of grindcore, or came up with surprisingly catchy and melodic themes. After the noisy heaviness of the previous album, it could have been difficult to exceed what was heard back then, and therefore "Ritual Zombi" became like an album that briefly summarized all features of the Avulsed discography, that worked fine before. From catchy riffs and melodies to wild brutality, from morbid humor to horror and gore. Unsurprisingly after the album title, a cover song with similar title also took place on the record, since covering old school death metal classics also could be commonly heard by them. If there was need for an alternate title on the side of "Ritual Zombi", probably "Putrid Death Metal For Fun" could fit to the album well. Another enjoyable hit from the masters of the genre.
