The debut album from Entombed was quite a hit
in the metal world when it was unleashed back in 1990. The Stockholm based
band from Sweden had created a new sound for the country by mixing their old
punk/hardcore roots with the brutal death metal of Morbid Angel. It wasn´t
just in Sweden that the new musical direction was appreciated and it was soon
named the 'Stockholm sound' and known all over the world. In general Swedish
bands are more melodic than others and this is also the case with Entombed.
Even though they play very fast and brutal death metal the music is still a
lot more melodic and dynamic than many of the American bands, therefore also
more entertaining and not too repetitive. Compared to the situation of today
this album is not extraordinary since there are so many new bands who have
adopted this sound. What separates this first release from Entombed from their
works is that they were even this early in their career very talented and
technically skilled musicians who made the very best out of the possibilities
given by the musical genre. I wouldn´t want to go as far as saying that this
is one of the best albums ever made but Entombed were one of the first extreme
death metal bands of high quality and thus this is part of metal history. It
was produced and engineered by Tomas Skogsberg at the famous Sunlight Studio
in Stockholm, Sweden, in December of
1989.
