Entombed Posts Time Lapse Art Video
Entombed today releases a time-lapsed video that shows illustrator Dan Seagrave (re)creating artwork for the band's famed "Clandestine" album; artwork that will be included in upcoming performances - next weekend's sold-out Baten Cruise and the band's special Malmo Live event on November 12th.
These live events reunite original members Alex Hellid (guitar), Uffe Cederlund (guitar), and Nicke Andersson (drums) on stage for the first time since 1997.
"Clandestine" was recorded at Stockholm’s Sunlight Studios, produced by Tomas Skogsberg, and is considered a genre milestone. The band’s infamous buzzsaw guitar riffs and varied tempos quickly catapult Entombed to the forefront of the then exploding global scene.
Hellid says, “Clandestine is a complex beast. Revisiting it 25 years later is definitely something special.”
Cederlund adds, “it’s one of those albums that you hear something new every time you listen to it. I like albums like that.” More...

1985-1995: The Golden Age of Death Metal
Death should be credited with creating death metal, at least the old school style we recognize now, as they birthed the infamous Tampa, Florida sound. Bands such as Autopsy and Obituary—two of the forerunners—would not exist without Death. Death is not the true father of death metal, though. That distinction goes to Possessed. The California Bay Area group not only played a style of brutal, vicious metal, with loads of Satanic imagery, they also coined the term “death metal” on the “Seven Churches” album.
Around 1985, albums similar to “Slowly We Rot” (Obituary) and “Mental Funeral” (Autopsy) simply did not exist. Thrash was the fasted, craziest music around. Of course Possessed has already been mentioned, but the influence of Slayer, who obviously influenced Possessed, can not be under recognized. Where Possessed was different was they used a rougher production. Dark Angel, whose drummer, Gene Hoglan, would go on to be one of the most heralded drummers in the metal biz, certainly showed a good dose of Slayer in their sound. In the beginning, Slayer was nothing more than a faster, nefarious, more solo-oriented Venom protégé. More...
