Entombed – Left Hand Path (1990)
Left Hand Path is the groundbreaking debut album by Swedish death metal band Entombed, released in 1990. Widely regarded as one of the most influential death metal albums of all time, it established the "Swedish death metal sound," characterized by its distinctive buzzsaw guitar tone, created using heavily distorted Boss HM-2 pedals.
The album's themes delve into darkness, death, nihilism, and the macabre, with a mix of brutal riffing and atmospheric melodies. The title track, "Left Hand Path," features an iconic outro melody borrowed from the theme of the horror film Phantasm, adding an eerie cinematic quality.
Entombed's blend of raw aggression and intricate songwriting set a benchmark for the genre, inspiring countless bands in the death metal and extreme metal scenes.
Tracklist: Left Hand Path Drowned Revel in Flesh When Life Has Ceased Supposed to Rot But Life Goes On Bitter Loss Morbid Devourment Abnormally Deceased The Truth Beyond Album Highlights: The guitar tone, often referred to as the "buzzsaw" sound, defined the Swedish death metal subgenre. The title track is a genre classic, blending brutal riffs with melodic passages and atmospheric intensity. Left Hand Path was a pivotal release that bridged the gap between early death metal and more melodic approaches later adopted by the genre. 50 Similar Artists: Dismember Grave Carnage Unleashed Edge of Sanity Bloodbath Hypocrisy At the Gates Nihilist (Entombed's precursor) Bolt Thrower Autopsy Morbid Angel Death Obituary Deicide Immolation Vader Pestilence Asphyx Benediction Sinister Malevolent Creation Suffocation Napalm Death Carcass Vomitory Repulsion Graveyard (Sweden) General Surgery Nasum The Crown God Macabre Deranged Dissection (early material) Katatonia (early death/doom era) Necrophobic Darkthrone (death metal era) Miasmal Sorcery Convulse Demigod Amorphis (early death metal era) Sentenced (early material) Demilich Funebre Paradise Lost (early death/doom era) Morgoth Incantation Phlebotomized Rippikoulu Left Hand Path remains a seminal album in extreme music, its influence extending beyond death metal to inspire multiple subgenres and generations of metal musicians.
