AVULSED Leader Goes Guttural In New Video

Leader Dave Rotten from long-running Spanish death metallers Avulsed has uploaded video of his guttural techniques below:



“This video was made to briefly show the different guttural techniques used by me,” he says. “I don’t consider myself any kind of expert or want to teach anybody with this, just want to explain a little bit the different types of voices I normally use not only in my main band Avulsed, but in others like Christ Denied, Putrevore, Holycide, Famishgod, etc.

Sorry if I’m not that expressive or good communicator on this video, just did it in a row without a script nor really thinking what I wanted to say (forget about my poor english too), haha!! I was just in studio and decided to do this, so well, it’s quite briefly how I explain it and sure I missed many things, but well, if this video is interesting for anyone and if I’m in the mood for it, I may go for more videos deeple explaining one by one my techniques. If you want it just say so.

I always sing exhaling, never inhaling. This give me lots of possibilities like longer growls, modulation and thicker low-end. I mainly use my throat, mouth and tongue to get the different types of gutturals. I rarely cup the mic when playing live only in very counted parts. Never in studio. Nobody ever taught me any technique when I started in 1991, so this is basically something I’ve been discovering myself through the years. I’m not a guttural obsessed either, so I just do this when I practice with my bands, so I really have no time to explore or develop new techniques. I've got enough with this, haha!!

I know I’m not the most low-end gutturalist or neither the most inhuman pig-squealer, haha, but well, this is the way I sing and I hope some of you will find it interesting. If not, well, no big deal.

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of Avulsed, the band decided to commit a very ambitious project which is no other than recording a double album including 18 of their best songs from all their albums, EP's and demos. Instead of just doing a dull compilation with original songs, the band wants to do a "no fillers, just killers" release showing the evolution that the songs have suffered during all these years where the band's sound has been getting heavier and songs have got slight mutations through the times.

This double album (80 minutes) will be released in a deluxe double CD digipack with slipcase and a thick 40 pages booklet containing the original versions on disc #2 (just for the freaks who hate rerecordings), double gatefold 12" LP and double cassette with slipcase. But to make this release even more interesting, Avulsed will have very special guests from other bands singing in most of the songs. They are: Peter (Vader), Barney (Napalm Death), Tomas Lindberg (At The Gates), Sven (Aborted), Antti Boman (Demilich), Chris Reifert (Autopsy), Per Böder (God Macabre), Anton Reisenegger (Pentagram Chile), Kam Lee (ex-Massacre), Rogga Johansson (Paganizer), Mike Van Mastrigt (ex-Sinister), Ville Koskela (Purtenance), Will Rahmer (Mortician), Ludo (Supuration), Johan Jansson (Interment) and Paul Zavaleta (Deteriorot).

Title for this album will be Deathgeneration, since 25 years means a whole generation devoted to death metal, and cover artwork will be made, once again, by the awesome Juanjo Castellano who worked on the two latest Avulsed cover arts. Release date is autumn, right before the two very special 25th anniversary shows that Avulsed will offer in Madrid (November 19th) and Barcelona (November 26th). Support bands for the show in Madrid will be another Spanish death metal legend Aposento and newcomers Bizarre who will also open on the Barcelona show accompanied by another band which is confirmed, but we can't announce yet. An official live CD/DVD will be recorded and filmed in Madrid.

Deathgeneration will come on a very limited black boxset with silver foiled logo, of which only 100 copies will be made containing the 2CD, 2LP and 2MC. This special cassette release can only be obtained on this boxset that will come with t-shirt, poster, signed photo card, sticker, patch, badge, guitar pick and other goodies. The 2CD, 2LP and t-shirt can be obtained separately or in bundles too. For this ambitious (and expensive) project, Avulsed will need the inestimable collaboration of its fans for which the band will release a Crowfunding campaign during the next months.

Recording sessions for Deathgeneration will started last month with drums being recorded at Cadillac Blood Studios with Andy C. (Lord Of Black, Saratoga, Kaothic) on production and rest of stuff being recorded at La Casa del Ruido Studios with Daniel Blanco engineering for a later mixing at Overhead Studios by Raul Fournier "Furni" and final mastering again at Unisound Studios by Swedish mastermind Dan Swanö.

Regarding shows, Avulsed will restart in June with a tour in China, followed by a series of great festivals during summer in Germany (Protzen Open Air), Czech Republic (Obscene Extreme & Czech Deathfest) and two of Spain's biggest festivals (Leyendas & Resurrection) as well as a tour in South America during September.
