ENTOMBED

Release Year: 1997
Artist Origin: SWE
Style: straightforward expressive swedish death metal

when legendary Swedish collective has already left Earache label, this final compilation drew a line under their early era, becoming an invaluable relic for a die hard fan of hard-hitting sound, bringing together three songs each from three extremely hard-to-find EP releases, and most of these recordings are either previously unpublished elsewhere or unique in their own way, for example raw death metal worshipping Crawl [1991] is sung by Orvar Säfström of Nirvana 2002 fame, while Stranger Aeons [1992] session, hammered out in a single night, features only Uffe Cederlund and Nicke Andersson, meanwhile the amusing Out of Hand [1994] includes covers of Kiss and Repulsion, crowned by three additional reworked tracks on top, paying tribute to Roky Erickson, Unsane, and Stiff Little Fingers
