Kick Ass Debut Albums Volume II - Swedish Death Metal

Entombed - Left Hand Path

Summer 1991, Earache Records

One of the best death metal albums ever recorded. From the beginning to the end, it has the "fuck yeah" aesthetic all over it. It really touches perfection. It is perfection.

Listen

Unleashed - Where No Life Dwells

Spring 1991, Century Media Records

One of the bands that are usually labeled under the viking death metal scene. Remarkable production and energy pumping out of every song in here. A classic as well.

Listen

Dismember - Like An Ever Flowing Stream

Spring 1991, Nuclear Blast Records

Yet another masterpiece of swedish death metal and not only. An excellent work done in the composing session, brilliant musicianship. This record is a massacre.

Listen

Grave - Into The Grave

June 1991, Century Media Records

As graphic as this band name and album name can be, that awesome the music is. A more noisy approach with demonic growls, it definitely is one of the albums you need to listen when getting into the swedish scene and even more.

Listen

Carnage - Dark Recollections

Winter 1990, Necrosis Records

These guys might not be legends like the rest of the bands here, but their music sure is legend material. They are related to Dismember and this is the only full length. Well executed swedish brutality.

Listen

Hypocrisy - Penetralia

Autumn 1992, Nuclear Blast Records

Up until 1996, Hypocrisy played death metal and then changed to melodeath. Their music is still amazing, but the old school fans will always have their first albums in their hearts, with this one having a special place.

Reckoning

From all the hills came screams. A piece of sky beside the crescent sun was detaching. It was a loosened circle of evening sky, suddenly lighted from the back. It was an abrupt black body out of nowhere; it was a flat disk; it was almost over the sun. That is when there were screams. At once this disk of sky slid over the sun like a lid. The sky snapped over the sun like a lens cover. The hatch in the brain slammed. Abruptly it was dark night, on the land and in the sky. In the night sky was a tiny ring of light. The hole where the sun belongs is very small. A thin ring of light marked its place. There was no sound. The eyes dried, the arteries drained, the lungs hushed. There was no world. We were the world’s dead people rotating and orbiting around and around, embedded in the planet’s crust, while the earth rolled down. Our minds were light-years distant, forgetful of almost everything.
