The big 4 has been our theme and here it
continues with Swedish death metal I'm
Bridget here with a more popularity
based list of the big 4 Swedish death
metal bands hey it's Bridget with the
metal aficionado Reaper what you know
everything I dunno I just I just know
why Wow you know no I'm kidding I'll
walk off now where we got a your bridge
all right we've got the big 4 Swedish
death metal bands and nevermind I'm
sorry never mind made of them like this
cuz like every time I see myself back
like this one I like this I feel like
I'm Igor from friggin Franken Seliger -
I mean you go get that brain full
shadowy this right light really free
microphone leads to health care oh let's
get to it because these are the top four
Swedish death metal bands in our opinion
are offended yes if you agree please let
us know below if you have something
completely different in mind let us know
that too but let's get started with the
number one band as far as I'm concerned
in death metal entombed a decimal period
or just Swedish depo in Swedish death
metal but in death metal period I'd say
it's definitely one of the most
influential metal death metal bands of
all time
cool well if in terms of than why we
have an island soul I'm glad you asked
well we do because nihilist was be pre
entombed and I don't make a lot of songs
carried over and so what we got here is
this LP was put out by Southern Lord
Records southern more during Swedish
death metal I thought the same thing
yeah it's kind of out there I don't know
if this was the first official release
of nihilist on vinyl because there's
been many bootlegs over the years we've
been many people like CDs there's been
an official CD pretty much of this
because this comes with a 7-inch of
nihilist entombed stuff because it's
kind of one of the same on occur because
the
seven inch and then demo arrow is pretty
much nihilus and I think the story
behind why they change their name to
entomb was because Johnny head love
headlong Harvey to a guy's name from a
leash which will get that connection
later mm-hmm
they wanted to kick him off he was
playing bass for Annihilus and I guess
Nicky Anderson was uh some of
girlfriends and they thought of joining
him shared a girlfriend and they heated
not on my own so those yeah we're done
dude and then they just came with a new
band some band drama sounds like yeah so
before we go into in tuned
why don't we progress upon that nihilus
had Johnny from what Unleashed Unleashed
where no life dwells the first album
this nerd took upon himself not to take
the shrink-wrap off this because you
guys stick around there yeah let it be
noted the little color sticker there and
that's the color of the vinyl it's a
gold LP and now I don't like to take the
shrink-wrap off because it kind of just
preserves that nostalgic value yeah and
but this is the century media reissue
nothing nothing like original here or to
get over the energy and excises yeah
printed in recovers you got to be
careful with these bad boys because when
you're shipping around map that records
tossing and turning it's going to tear
those edges and that is no good now
anything you know another thing is to is
sense for me and these bigger labels
they put the record inside the cover
well that's shipping around not only is
your inner cover and danger for shaking
it over yet so we're gonna come clean
around there you're even worse because
it fucks up your inner cover and that
Wow is that a bad news but we are
fortunate and don't have that problem
and anyway back to the album oh now we
do have that problem we here this is
where help okay this is where ever the
rocks goes wrong so the gold vinyl
edition and very nice Unleashed I mean
there's something to be said about a
leash because you know for me in the
group of friends that I have or just
always been around when we talk about
Swedish death know the throw unleashed
in there like it's just the same kind of
buzzsaw guitar a son likes to do a band
but they're not they're different
there's a little more great had more of
an American edge I guess with the
brutality lowness and and unleash was
kind of like a happy medium with that I
always kind of thought yeah you know
sure it's off below in the columns but
that was kind of my perception of them
we have court and putrefaction painful
demos and it is cricket what are you
talking about well am I talking about
so look at this logo here corpse it's
very reminiscent of grave as I really
like future very similar for 1986 black
dawn demo now the corpse a demo did come
out on officially when the grave demos
came out because on Century Media
Records mm-hmm and then putrefaction
I don't think was a company on that but
the corpse 1986 black dawn record is
great or of the Dawn Treader demo is
great and then putrefaction great as
well but totally different but to say is
the corpse member so a corpse members
and then moving on grave extremely
rotten Dennis so the corpse putrefaction
then becomes great old corpse and
putrefaction entirely it's a different
fun in bands as is great on gray as a
lie encompasses both sounds because
corpse in a way was more like death
thrash future faction was I guess for
its time 1989 with a brutal death metal
this is a bootleg LP and then central
media came out with officially and it
has the corpse demo on there and stuff
which I've never compared and contrasted
the two but between my circle friends
it's been actually said that the bootleg
LV
and the official LP with the putrid
corpse corpse demo is and actually I
think these ah sound exactly the same so
the rumor is in our heads that Century
Media has this LP and I just took the
audio from it we don't know the
experience do we know this is a great
double LP a lot of times bootlegs are
subpar to an official release but this
is not an except well this isn't except
yeah because this is I mean this is a
labor of love I mean this is a beautiful
LP III I like having it more than the
official one I don't even have the
official one I've had this and then when
it came on official but all shit but I
didn't go back and revise it it's just
such a beautiful LP from nihilist to
Incans once there not to be said about
left-hand path it's a classic it's great
and I needed it on picture disc and I
love that you know I've said before I
just love those old-school die cut
covers with a circle and just you can
just add that extra display to pictures
I know a lot of vinyls aficionados and -
not big about pictures but for me I love
I don't see why you wouldn't be because
I mean I think I do
it's an art form in its own you know
well it's an art form and that's the
thing is because there's a lot of
surface noise when you listen to them
and you know so when you get it you're
like yeah and then you're oh boy already
how do you mix more so for the
collectors aspect in my opinion I like
this looks really cool right hand or you
know in the case of pictures like an
especially this because I think I got
four so it's it's collectible it's
probably about 35 to 40 dollars us and
oh yeah that's not bad you know when you
spend that kind of money and then you're
just like Oh some you've already heard I
think that's where the the kind of the
great comes and then you there's more
surface noise and stuff so there's a
real just nerd aesthetic that you know
you won't have to endure through and if
not just only the music is the quality
yeah it's different but is that
beautiful yeah that's all it's about I
mean but again I use i cauterized
I know yeah oily something yeah first an
album this classic really nothing I mean
it never is and so you have the
gravestone there rest and festering
slime which fun fact about that is
there's actually a layered a Swedish
death metal compilation oh resin of
festering slime that doesn't have like
grave and stuff but like you know newer
aged Swedish death metal on there so I
think I hope that they paid so on the
back of that band photo I've never seen
it other than this picture disc I've
never had either honestly yeah I'm
certain that an original picture this oh
really so this is the actual original
you know how many remain visible the
actual original picture it but yeah how
many copies of this were actually made
do you know they on here
um no Alison bridge entombed monkey pus
live I don't feel like that seems right
really you why you said put put USS P
USS like put I mean listen boots or
nobody I mean USS why I mean yeah I
always said pause but Popeyes head pops
head is P us yeah yeah we wanna so push
I don't think this is too much of a
relic aww as far as availability goes
Bob the why wouldn't you want entombed
before they start a chain and in fact I
think they started changing on this
because it's got like Holloman Wolverine
blues and stuff
alright you know gonna later test yeah I
think I got those music videos but uh
you know the show is definitely from the
clandestine area air area
era and uh you know so that's great as
far as that yeah but then it says the
videos like said from the Holloman
EP and then not CH the Wolverine blues
album I wanted to say that what were in
blues the song was on the Holloman elk
or EP but I think I'm wrong ah so anyway
rate though um I do
think you could get this DVD also again
yes the Edit on the clandestine a CD
does a double-disc I'm grandis the
almond then of course the DVD and I
don't know if the DVD maybe doesn't have
the music videos or something but that's
what this has and yeah and like frankly
for me as far as my attune collection
goes I don't have that much stuff
because I don't really like the definite
old stuff all that much a lot of people
don't I think they're coming around it
seems but yeah the most part they don't
you do don't you some of it's okay um
it's been a long time since I'm
listening to and honestly yeah but um I
guess I do prefer the more like classic
albums of entombed like everyone else
pretty much ah well you were saying and
you saw that like a tour or something
one they come through and they played
they stated they they did play
everything off a left-hand path I
believe well and they weren't playing
the later stuff I mean they were they
kept it old school and played all that
stuff without in camps there wouldn't be
dismembered well that's very simple
that's a good statement because uh
Nikkei Anderson I'm gonna have to keep
it about them but you know he did the
logo for dismembered and then he also
played any doubt of that I did not know
yeah yeah okay um I wouldn't want to
because they have an awesome logo yeah
it's really cool props them for that man
of multiple talents I mean I'm a fanboy
of all this stuff just remembers demos
is the one of the demos played bass okay
yeah a lot a big hand in the Swedish
seen some of the stuff that pretty much
Cano I didn't know that from yeah he
does one of the newer things and it's
totally a plug but honestly if you're
nerd like me I had an out of the guy
asked him ah
tune in to hell cast metal podcast my
show I had an interview with Fred SP the
drummer of dismember and I was totally
stoked because so here we are to the
7-inch Skinner alive EP on picture this
fucking cool as artwork I don't know I
don't remember
rather if
the version on here of skin her life is
different than the version on the
ever-flowing stream album but I know the
song skin her lie created a controversy
honestly of banning within the United
Kingdom um we're back to hell cast plug
I asked Fred as we about that whole
banning thing soothing so Swedish band
they had to go to the UK and he's like
man they were wearing like frickin
George Washington wigs oh my god
fast forward obviously more British
thing where he afterwards Washington
American guy but British I get my
critics Realty yeah so there's those
wigs that like it is like it was just
ridiculous you know Tom bought a deaf
little song above the law listen to the
internet freakin cool that's you know
III really mean that it's a cool like
nourished think I got here my goal yeah
inside information and so it's because
of that song though and uh so here's the
7-inch for and yeah there are works
awesome
hey-oh and then really cool either got
the band folder there we go
and then and you know it's funny things
when you do look at like these old death
metal photos I mean look at how young
they go I know and even some mad on you
know I don't think there are any things
I use kid there's that there in court
and stuff like come on man like to just
try like rubble people's feathers yeah
it's kind of funny when you think about
it all but ah yeah that's the great
thing and then the other song on there
was defective decay um so just a great
piece of metal history ever I got this
in Toronto Canada okay
just had to get it I think I paid pre
moderate price for not that that really
matters when you're getting a sweet
metal record but right yeah it's a fun
detail you can't mention Skinner alive
without like an ever-flowing stream wall
they stop by before that's the worry and
this LP it isn't like too much a lot I
guess at this point is kind of special
but it's been reissued by back and black
and it's double LP version and
his trash defective decay death a
vocation torn apart justifiable homicide
as far as those being bonus tracks and
what precisely they meet they may be
from shooting what it researched a
little bit more what we have in his own
collection
well I love there's definitely something
they said how this is just a classic
death metal photo but then again yeah
look at how young these guys are and
just frankly thinking about it from this
perspective look at those young nerds
just tossing themselves in blood and
thinking they're cool I'm all about
River I'm what it's like and it's cool
like you look in like man what are they
like 15 that I thought about those
skinny guys that's what I'm I want a
record I mean they're just for me
Stockholm is where Swedish death metal
is okay yeah
but if you just agree with it ended
there's plenty of room to disagree with
that please if you do disagree with it
let it know talk about it yeah yeah I
mean that's what that's I mean come on
earth question of the week do you agree
with our big for Swedish death metal
bands let us know in the comments below
