Information AboutEntombed (band) |
Entombed is a Swedish Metal band which formed in 1987 (see 1987 In Music ) under the name of Nihilist . 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. BAND HISTORY Entombed's debut album was '' Left Hand Path '', a cult favourite 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. According to the band they came up with it on their own, mixing different distortion effects together to achieve it. 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 heavy metal, but were followed by problems with various record companies. In 1999 (see 1999 In Music ), Entombed released '' Uprising '', which was an anti-commercial return to the band's roots. The follow-up, '' Morning Star '' returned to ''Hollowman'' and ''Wolverine Blues'' style metal. They have since released 2003's album ''Inferno,'' a continuation of the 'death n roll' style that has become their trademark sound. 2006 saw the release of new music from Entombed, with the ''When in Sodom'' EP on June 6 (or 06/06/06), and the full length album Serpent Saints - The Ten Amendments was relaesed on July 9th, 2007. This album is the group's first release with drummer Olle Dahlstedt (of Alpha Safari and ex- Misery Loves Co. ), who replaced long-time drummer Peter Stjärnvind in 2006. MEMBERS Current
