One of the best death metal albums I have ever heard. In fact for many years, it was the best, until I got into the At The Gates. This 1992 killer is the only Entombed album not to feature Petrov, but the vocals are still awesome. Many awesome tunes; Living Dead, Sinners Bleed, Evilyn, Blessed Be and Crawl are some of the best death metal songs ever. This is their darkest album, filled with brutal vocals, really dark riffs, melancholic and otherworldly solos and several well-used samples. The only problem with this album is that it can become a bit too much sometimes; you have to be in the mood for this one. The sheer intensity of the vocals and the guitar sound are not for all days. Also sometimes the songwriting isn't as consistent and cohesive as on later releases. Which makes sense for a young band. But still an essential classic in the genre, no doubt. This, together with Wolverine Blues and the (even better in my opinion) Hollowman EP is the best Entombed stuff. Recommended, a death metal classic.
