Expulsion
Certain Corpses Never Decay (2lp)
'COMPLETE RECORDINGS 1989-1990' - Early Swedish death metal malignity at its finest! Expulsion started in November 1988 with Calle Fransson on drums, Anders Holmberg on bass and Stefan Lagergren on guitars. Actually the band was formed out of the ashes of a band called River's Edge, that consisted of the three Expulsion members, Magnus Kranz on guitar and Johan Edlund (Tiamat) on vocals. After the 'Mind The Edge' demo the band felt apart. In April 1989, Expulsion released their first demo called 'Cerebral Cessation.' November that year they recorded their second demo 'Veiled In The Mists Of Mystery.' The previously unreleased track 'Certain Corpses Never Decay' was released on the underground compilation tape 'Hymns Of The Dead Vol. 2.' In 1990 Expulsion entered Sunlight Studios (Entombed Dismember, Tiamat etc.), to record two tracks produced by Tomas Skogsberg. After these recordings Expulsion broke up (and reformed with two new members 2 years later). Expulsion guitar player Stefan and bassist Anders both also played in Treblinka/Tiamat. They recorded and played (and Stefan Lagergren wrote) all the Treblinka demos/EP and the Tiamat debut album 'Sumerian Cry' (1990). This collection includes all the above mentioned demos, the rare comp. track and the Sunlight Studio session. All these recordings are being released for the first time on vinyl, completely restored and remastered. Coverart by Eric Danielsson (Watain). Gatefold jacket with photos, scans of the original tapes, an exclusive interview + large poster! A must have for the diehard maniacs of pioneering Swedish death metal, highly recommended if you also like Treblinka/early Tiamat, Morbid, Nihilist and Grotesque.
