" Did I go almost 800 posts without putting up one of the most influential and pioneering albums of all time?.....Bad week to quit sniffin glue !....."
" With their monumental debut album, Left Hand Path, Entombed crashed through the gates of the international death metal scene and foreshadowed the pivotal role that Scandinavia would soon play in the evolution of the then-burgeoning genre "
" These Swedes had earlier made ripples throughout the underground with their But Life Goes On demo (1989), which got them signed to Earache. Left Hand Path did more than make ripples upon its 1990 release, however — it came crashing like a tidal wave. Beyond doubt it raised the bar for death metal, significantly challenging American trailblazers like Death, Obituary, and Morbid Angel "
" What Entombed did was take the extremity of Earache's stable of British grindcore bands (Napalm Death, Carcass, etc.) and apply it to the elaborate songwriting structures of the aforementioned American death metal bands. It was the best of both worlds — over-the-top extremity complemented by intricate songwriting — and it wasn't more than a year or two later that everyone and their brother were following Entombed's lead....Thousands upon thousands of like-minded bands from every corner of the planet "
Recorded and mixed at Sunlight Studio, Stockholm, December 1989...By Tomas Skogsberg
Left Hand Path is a monumental accomplishment, not only for Entombed but for death metal in general...And every fan of Death Metal should own this already !.....You do dont you ?
Khizer......Smartly requested this !

10. Manifest Of Lies (Bonus Track)
11. Affiliated With The Suffering (Bonus Track)
Origin - Norway
Style - Death Metal
" Norway's answer to Cannibal Corpse...Blood Red Throne throw down their 5th full length "
" B.R.T. no doubt has great musicians...Comprised of guitarists Død (Trioxin, ex-Satyricon) and Tchort (ex-bassist for Emperor, ex-Satyricon, Green Carnation and Carpathian Forest) and bass supremo Erlend Caspersen (Trioxin, Deeds of Flesh, Emeth, Spawn of Possession). And a loud and clear production on this record "
" The tracks: Mostly mid-tempo crushers....Mixing american death metals finest..C.C., Morbid Angel, Deicide with a scandanavian melodic touch to it all. I would have preferred more brutallity..As it seems this Lp is very safe...Much like the last record 'Come Death'. None the Less..it is still a quality piece of death metal "
Blood Red Throne fans: ...Its a continuation....Of the last Lp
Death Metal Fans : Check it out...It is a strong record
Musicians: Check out one of the great bassist's around Erlend Caspersen...And you can actually hear the bass in many tracks....
Overall?......This album perhaps occupies the fine line of being able to satisfy existing death-heads and still being accessible enough to bring newer fans into the genre.....

" Cauterizer sound very close to one of my favorites from the era...God Macabre..Heavy Eerie Death Metal with Absolutely Monstrous vocals....But lacking the solos of God Macabre...This has a powerful sound and is another of the lost gems from Sweden !

Rape The Dead - ...Kill The Living - Ep (2009)
Origin - USA
Style - Death Metal
" Interesting find here....Band put together through the internet!
Basically...Rape the Dead was formed in October, 2008 by Chris Catharsis and Mark Hawkins with the goal of creating Crushing death metal. In January, 2009 they got a vocal contribution from Martin Moody and finished this internet Ep "
" I have to say...I am impressed...Dark, Heavy Death Metal with scorching solo's and deep gutteral vocal's. The songwriting is spot on...Somewhat technical but well played and a clear production finishes it off "
These guys also have a technical Thrash Metal project going to...Kongregation....And this kicks ass also !
If someone doesn't sign these guys.....I might do it myself (A project I have been talking about for years...My own label! )
Do yourself a favor...Check this stuff out....Seriously Great Shit !

Susperia - Attitude (2009)
Origin - Norway
Style - Melodic Black/Thrash Metal
" Susperia strikes back with their 5Th full length "
"The first thing to be said here concerns Susperia’s lead singer Athera, who suffered a heart attack in March. I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he is back in action soon "
" Now on to the record.... Attitude combines Thrash, Death and melodies, in a very efficient way. With songs that contain all their previous influences, from Black Metal screams, to 80's Thrashing parts, this album has alot of varying ideas, without sacrificing quality.Excellent arrangements, with equally good musicianship, are the key parts of this album."
" Melodies are also plenty, and are used wisely, without weakening the whole result. The songs are well written, catchy and groovy, with tunes that stick in your mind, A very powerful and clear production completes the album "
A very good album indeed, from a talented band.
There's even a guest spot from Chuck Billy(Testament)
Fans of melodic Death/Thrash Metal.....Take a listen...

Sororicide/Chorus Of Ruin - Split (1993)
Origin - Iceland/United Kingdom
Style - Death Metal/Melodic Doom/Death Metal
" Killer split on 'Rising Realm' Records circa 1993 "
" Chorus Of Ruin was a British doom/Death metal band that originated from the Bradford area. They recorded a demo tape called "Les Miserables" in 1991, the same year the band was formed. A couple of more releases followed until the band broke up in 1996. The two tracks here are Doomy/Gothic sounding with spoken and growled vocals "
" The Sororicide tracks are what were here for.....Awesome Death Metal from the Icelandic crew....I think what these guys had going was a true atmosphere in their music like no other at the time. Heavy Riffing and bizarre melodies make this band truly unique and one of my all timers "
This is worth it for the Sororicide tracks alone !

Adramelech - Psychostasia (1996)
2. Psychostasia
3. Seance of Shamans
4. The Book of the Worm
5. Thoth (Lord of the Holy Words)
6. Mythic Descendant
7. As the Gods Succumbed
8. Across the Gray Waters
Origin - Finland
Style - Death Metal
" Born in 1991, Adramelech released the Grip Of Darkness demo and got a deal with Adipocere Records which lead to the Spring Of Recovery EP in 1993. The band's next move was the The Fall demo which brought them to Repulse Records. Repulse fit the band on one of its compilations and released The Fall as a 3" MCD. The band's first CD proper appeared in 1996. Recorded at Tico Tico studio (Impaled Nazarene, Sentenced, etc.), the album established the band as one of the heavier Finnish bands with Demilich and Demigod "
" So we are talking about Adramelech's debut album from the forgotten era in death metal music, year 1996,and it is one of the rare gems from those times. Adramelech featured a couple of Demigod members..You know it cant be anything but Killer "
" 'Psychostasia' is an album, that is simultaneously demanding and alternating in its small space, but hugely catchy and very solid without any ill-placed element. The band was able to match hooky riffage, interesting turns and aggressiveness of a tank. The band wrote tens or hundreds of brutal, mystical, domineering and headbangable riffs and spiced it all with good lead guitar work. The songs are mainly fast, but there's slower parts as well as atmosphere-dripping ones, too. Hellishly lot of double bass drumming is heard! The lyrics handle ancient mythologies (eg. Vikings', Egyptians' and Greeks'), but the melody lines are nothing like Viking metal or Mesopotamian metal ones, but truly old school death metal "
