Description
This is my auction of the original vinyl release of Left Hand Path the debut studio album by Swedish Death metal band Entombed, released on June 4, 1990 by Earache Records. The album was recorded in the Sunlight studio in Stockholm, Sweden during December 1989.
The album's liner notes give thanks to the Swedish death metal group Nirvana 2002.
The title of the album refers to a Left-Hand Path belief system. Guitarist Alex Hellid found the term in Anton LaVey's book The Satanic Bible. This is explored in the eponymous opening track of the album, with the first verse:
I am my own God, master, slave
And I will be beyond the grave
No one will take my soul away
I carry my own will and make my day
The more melodic, ambient section that comes in at 3:54 of the title track is a cover of the theme from the 1979 horror film Phantasm.
The album is known for defining the style of Swedish death metal by being the first recording to use the "buzzsaw" guitar tone. The tone was created by heavily detuned electric guitars (To B) used with a maxed out Boss HM-2 Heavy Metal Pedal and the DS-1 Distortion pedal into a Peavey amp. The originator of this guitar tone was Nihilist guitarist Leif "Leffe" Cuzner.
"Drowned" was featured in the 2009 video game Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned on the radio station Liberty City Hardcore.
