Additional notes:
Afflicted originally formed under the name "Afflicted Convulsion". The decision to drop the word "Convulsion" from the band name was taken once vocalist Joakim Broms had joined. Afflicted Convulsion was formed out of the ruins of a thrash band called "Defiance" and released one official rehearsal tape and two demos under this name. Then the name was shortened to Afflicted. The band defines their sound as Psychodelic Ultraviolent Heavy Gindcore.
