Stockholm, Sweden (1987 – present)
Entombed is a death metal band from Stockholm, Sweden which formed in 1987 under the name of Nihilist. In 1989 they changed their name to Entombed. Though Entombed began their career as an early pioneer of Scandinavian death metal, by the early 1990s their sound had broadened to include hardcore punk and other influences. This new style would eventually be described as Death ‘n’ Roll, of which Entombed remains arguably the best-known example.
Entombed’s debut album was Left Hand Path, a cult favorite that established the band as a popular death metal band. The follow-up, Clandestine, was just as popular. These first two albums were unique in that they featured what was sometimes referred to as an “electric saw” guitar sound. It was created using the Boss Heavy Metal distortion pedal and a Peavey amplifier. It appeared on their debut, Left Hand Path, but was improved and refined on the follow up, Clandestine, on which its effect is in its best form.
After the Gods of Grind tour, Entombed began changing their sound into a mix of hard rock and death metal frequently called Death and Roll. Although this may have turned off many fans, it established their mainstream and critical reputation. Wolverine Blues and Hollowman are widely considered classics of early 1990s death metal, but were followed by problems with various record companies.

i think i like the early death 'n' roll records (think of to ride, to shoot straight) more than the death metal phase.

Wolverine Blues is all I'll go for when it comes to their "death n roll" material, but even at that, this is the same band that made two fucking classic Swedeath albums. TWO OF THEM.

you stupid fucking mindless DM fans. Entombed's DM records were only decent, then they went to create and lead the Death n Roll sound. Pioneers. Wolverine Blues, To ride, shoot straight, Uprising, Morning Star. Just pure, unadultered scandinavian fucking awesomeness. Long live Death n Roll, Long live Entombed \m/
