Convulse is a Finnish death metal band from Nokia that was founded in 1988 under the name SDS , disbanded in 1994 and reunited in 2012.

history

The band was founded in 1988 under the name SDS and consisted of singer and guitarist Rami Jämsä, bassist Juha "Patti" Telenius, drummer Janne Miikkulainen and guitarist Jani Kuhanen. After the group had renamed itself to Convulse, the first demo Resuscitation of Evilness followed in 1990 . In 1991 Toni Honkala joined the band as the new guitarist. Through the demo, the band reached a contract with the French label Thrash Records , on which the debut album World Without God was released. The single Lost Equilibrium joined Relapse Records in 1993 . Then the recordings for the second album Reflections began . The work on this took place within a week in the Sunlight Studios in Sweden . In 1993 the band members did their military service , before the album was released via Relapse Records in the summer of 1994 after some delay. Since the band could hardly post any more success, they broke up in the same year.
