Entombed - Left Hand Path (Earache Records)
This release is truly a classic Swedish Death Metal album! Lower tuned
guitars (I think B or C-tuning) make this sound much heavier. The production
was not bad everything seems to mix in properly so no complaints there. It
is too bad that Entombed doesn't play this kind of music any longer. I'd say
pick up this release and "Clandestine" their follow-up album.
Vocals are low not much variety (i.e. not many screams) but still it fits
the music well. I think that the best part of this release is the guitar
riffs. They are heavy and unrelenting plus the solos were quality too by
both Uffe and Alex. I remember when this came out I definitely played it
out! To me, all the songs are unique.
Even though this not my favorite style of this genre (Death Metal) overall I
really enjoyed the vocals, guitars, and drums. There were not that many
Swedish Death Metal acts that I particularly enjoy but this is definitely a
classic release.
I really like the tone to the guitars. . But overall this band plays some
awesome Swedish Death Metal. As I said before everything meshes in perfectly
thanks to Tomas Skogsberg.
