Xysma - One More Time

Xysma was Finnish Grindcore/Goregrind/Death Metal/Death 'n' Roll/Retro Rock band found in 1988, at Naantali. The band has been openly granted as the FIRST EVER Grindcore band from Finland. Originally named as Repulse, the band recorded their first demo "On a Cartrip to Sweden" in 1987. The Band was later named Xysma and under their new name, they released their legendary second demo "Swarming of the Maggots" in 1989. In 1990 they got signed to Comeback record company and they released their first EP "Above the Mind of Morbidity" in the same year. By then, Xysma had had more Death Metal influences to their music and the grindcore blasts decreased and the speed slowed down. Later that year they released a 7-inch "Fata Morgana" through American Seraphic Decay label. 1991 ,Xysma recorded their first full-length "Yeah", which was released by the old ComeBack label and recorded in the famous Swedish Sunlight Studios in Stockholm. This album introduced a original mix of Heavy/Death metal/psychedelic rock riffs in the vein of Black Sabbath and occasional Grindcore blasting. Therefore, Xysma can be considered the ACTUAL PIONEER OF DEATH 'N' ROLL, a style , which was later familiarized by Entombed in their 1993 "Wolverine Blues" album. Their second album "The First and Magical"'93 continued loosely the same musical paths as their former album, but now with less Grindcore and Death Metal influences. The name of their second album was sort of a sign of their major changes to be come. the third full-length, 1994's "Deluxe",showed the last signs of Grindcore blasts and Death 'n' Roll. "Lotto" of 1996 presented Xysma's whole new style, Retro-rock. The old days had been left behind for good. After their last album "Girl on the Beach" of 1998 the band split-up.
When the ex-guitarist Toni Stranius ( who also played in Disgrace before his carreer in Xysma ) died in 2006, Xysma did a final reunion gig for the memory of their late guitarist.

The intro is pretty fucking unnecessary. But pretty good song. This reminded me of that great song "Turning". Im gonna upload it soon..

[XysmicExecration]

Yes it's pretty unnecessary ,alright . . . but hey, it's Xysma: They were pretty experimetal back then, and even nowdays, there isn't too many bands of doing this kind of music with the same level of success. Upload the "Turning" my friend, it's a great song. I heard that "Deluxe" still had some grindcore influence left. Maybe I should get it

[GhastlordOvTheurgy]

Yeah, I can hear the Black Sabbath influence. Also abit of early era Napalm Death in th mix too. Hailz, 5 stars \m/

[XysmicExecration]

To distinguish the Grindcore influences clearly, you should listen both "Yeah" and this full-length straight through. They are pretty hard to pick from just one sample. But the basic idea of 1991-94 era Xysma was mixing Black Sabbath rock riffs with Death metal and Grindcore ones. Thanks for commeting

Vitun kova biisi! Vitun kova bändi!

[brutalictesku]

Olinkin kiinnostunut kuulemaan Xysman tokaa levyä ja hyvinhän tämä rokkaa \,,/

It`s not bad, but I prefer the first "Yeah" (1991). I love fucking heavy-Death metal with Grindcore influences... OK, it`s a good album, but the last good of the band.

OUH YEAAAH!

[concussedcarneous]

when did these guys disband?

[89152019]

uh, the left check comes from the right speaker and the right check from left side. . .im wearing headphones. well, at least its in center when he says so

[BreathTheDeath]

Damn the vocalist kicks ass!

[SmilingCWeenSorrow]

@DyingVictim the song is really beautiful, but the intro sucks. this would be perfect without it. it's not necessary, simply

[DonWanAndDaBombSquad]

interesting... sounds like something ive heard before... opening credits to boy meets world maybe?

[DyingVictim]

"Deluxe" doesn't have any grindcore touches. Only the vocals are rough.

[DyingVictim]

I like the intro as well.
