Rami Jämsä and company were already pushing Finnish death metal into stranger, groovier territory when "Reflections" landed in 1994, a pivot that puzzled some at the time but reads clearly now as a band following their instincts. The death 'n' roll approach put them in conversation with what Entombed was doing in Sweden, though Convulse brought their own Nordic grit to it. Three decades later, finally landing on vinyl for the first time, the album gets the second look it always deserved. Finland's CONVULSE present the official 2026 Remastered, Reissues of their classic titles "World Without God", "Reflections" & the new demo compilation "From Resuscitation to Reincarnation - The Early Years"All three remastered titles are streaming now & pre-orders are out July 31, 2026 on LP/CD/CS formats.Convulse original member Rami Jämsä comments on the reissues:"I am very grateful for the Relapse Records from all these three classy Convulse reissues. "World without God" (1991) is our best known debut album with full of rotten old school death metal notes. But don't miss our hidden gem "Reflections" (1994), which is our second album and will be released first time ever on vinyl format. Death 'n roll album "Reflections" comes to home on Relapse Records after 30 years with a brand new layout and a brilliant remastered sound. Third release will be "From Resuscitation to Reincarnation" which presents Convulse's transformation from the straightforward death metal band to more diverse death&rock band. It includes our first demotape "Resuscitation of Evilness" (1990) and "Lost Equilibrium" EP (1992)." Two years after the release of "World Without God", Finland's early purveyors of death/grind/thrash return with their sophomore album, "Reflections". Unbeknownst to the band and fans alike at the time, this album would prove to be Convulse's last for almost 20 years."Reflections" finds Convulse exploring new territory, as the album exhibits a clear departure from the band's earlier, old school death metal inspired material. Rather than pummeling the audience with blast beats and grinding guitars, the band places emphasis on creating a sense of groove by means of clearer production, softer guitar tones, thrash driven solos, and, at times, a downright jazzy, Black Sabbath-esque sound.
