THE REVIEW
"Jesus Christ Lord of flies, in disguise Fuck!!" So screams with a powerful growl L.G. Petrov, the historic voice of Entombed in the chorus (?!) of the track "Out of Hand." It's all too easy to imagine the rest of the lyrical content.
It's early 1994; the Swedish band has just a few months ago released "Wolverine Blues," an album that marks the birth of the unspeakable musical entity that will take the name of Death'n'Roll.
A new single, to which they add a couple of successful covers; but let's proceed in the right order.
Picture a creature that lives underground, endowed with immense strength; it wants to reach the surface and succeeds. It emerges from the dampness below with a noise, with an overwhelming force. This is the cold and foul-smelling sensation that "Out Of Hand" gives me with every new listen. Three insane and monstrous minutes, with Nicke's relentless drumming supporting the continuous and outrageous hammering of the vocals. Meanwhile, the armed and atomic duo of Alex and Uffe's guitars do their dirty work, with that classic crushing sound that has always been a characteristic of the Entombed. A memorable song.
They tackle "God Of Thunder" by Kiss, which isn't distorted, except for the crazed zombie-like voice. Slowness and heaviness in execution proceed hand in hand until the frenzied finale: not exactly heavenly screams break in, and they are painful. One more track, this time from Repulsion, one of the very first American Grindcore-Death Metal bands: the two minutes and a little more of "Black Breath" (...MAN what a title!!). And here Entombed unleash a force like no other. They proceed like a steamroller for the entire duration of the track, with an offensive "FUCK" that concludes the criminal sonic offensive.
Ad Maiora.

Entombed
Entombed were a Swedish extreme metal band widely described in the reviews as seminal to Swedish death metal. Early releases like Left Hand Path (1990) and Clandestine (1991) are repeatedly treated as milestones, while Wolverine Blues (1993) is portrayed as a major stylistic turning point toward death ’n’ roll.16 Reviews
