(October 2021) Episode 362 is ENTOMBED, along with progenitor NIHILIST. Considered one of the ‘big four’ Swedish death metal bands, pioneering the buzzsaw guitar sound along with speed and growl. By the mid-90s they turned down the tempo, yelled rather than growled the lyrics, becoming more regular heavy or thrash metal, which worked on some albums but not on others.
Favorite album: Wolverine Blues
Favorite song: Chief Rebel Angel
Compared to expectations: same
Recommendation: essential for any Swedish death metal listeners
