At times it feels like that kind of Finnish death metal that borders on "melodeath". Though Avulsed are Spanish, some riffs seem either European or Scandinavian in nature - offsetting them with their lovely tastelessness and nasty goregrind vibe. I think that the odd contrast between class and licentious depravity that the band wears so proudly could be their charm. In fact; I know it is. Plus - the fact that they truly are just good ole death metal with meticulously placed tricks up their sleeve, bearing aspects that would fit into some of the newer trends, makes them so special.
Dave can out growl/gurgle a good lot of "slam" vocalists, the instruments could go into wankery, and the songs could be more scattered and odd...but a lot of times they just don't seem to feel the need. That sort of class is evidenced and well-represented here on Nullo. Under it all, this stellar death metal band can write great songs that will stay with you. And for fans like me, that is the key to a sick metal love-affair.

Yessir, it is! As an "oldschooler", I have the usual faves (Incantation's Onward To Golgotha, Benediction's Transcend The Rubicon, Morbid Angel's Covenant, and so on, for example) - yet Avulsed quickly became my favorite death metal band upon discovery 5 years ago, due to the fact that not only did it stand up to the classics, but garnered as much attention in my fanatical listening habits as any of them. Thinking about how a fairly new discovery could achieve that feat for me...well, that gave me the impression that this band is very special!
