Biography

Stockholm, Sweden (1987 – present)

Entombed is a 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 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 really can't assimilate how perfect their first two albums are and how shitty and uninteresting the rest of their career is. One of the first names in the "wasted talent" list.

    Fucking wish I could see them tonight. They're playing with an orchestra in my town. I had planned on this since early last year, but the show was delayed, and I forgot about it until a few days ago... Oh well.

    I wish I could have the lyrics of their masterpiece, the Left Hand Path! It's a pity that there aren't lyrics in the booklet of the LP (I think that's the worst thing a band can do), once I asked if LG Petrov could write for me at least the lyrics of Supposed to Rot (the max i got was a mishead version :P), he said he could do that for me, but i had to wait because he needed to write the lyrics down, well, after a time, i went in his profile and he had deleted me XD
