Original 1990 ComeBack Records release

Finland’s enigmatic Xysma were formed in the late 80s in Turku and started out as a death metal grindcore act. They came out just when the grindcore were at its peak with bands such as Repusion and Carcass. They only managed to release one demo before getting signed. Their first proper release was the Above The Mind Of Morbidity mini abum, released in 1990. Over the years the band would try out so many different musical paths that you could never know what to expect. This mini album however has become a legendary release for those who appreciate the real, pure sickness that was coming from the north of Europe in the late 80s and early 90s. These six tracks are the fitting example of morbid and intense gore music. The vocals are inhuman grunts while the instruments are on the borderline between the pure gore mid-paced parts and the faster restarts with blast beats too. The solos are unbelievably raw, pointless and rotten. The mix of tempo parts is remarkable and no matter at what speed the music still transmit different emotions and feelings while still remaining gloom and rotten. Lovers of extreme music need to check out Xysma’s earier works
