Convulse

When Finland’s first Death Metal boom started in the late 80s/early 90s, among the first of the Finnish Death Metal troops in the frontline were the underground legends Convulse. Like many of their comrades, the band churned out that dark, brutal, uncompromising style of Death Metal that the scene became well known for, culminating in the band’s 1991 debut album World Without God, released on the now-defunct French label Thrash Records. Shortly after, Convulse followed in the footsteps of many of their contemporaries and began flirting more and more with Progressive Rock elements. They first experimented with these elements on their EP Lost Equilibrium and fully refined them on their second full-length Reflections, both of which were released on Relapse Records. The band called it quits in 1994, making this arguably Death’n’Roll style the last anyone would hear of Convulse for a long time.
