Review

Get ready to have your face melted off by Entombed's "Left Hand Path". This 1990 debut didn't just drop onto the Swedish death metal scene; it detonated, reshaping the genre with its vicious, groovy, and thrashy riffs. That iconic "buzzsaw" sound from the Boss HM-2 pedal? Yeah, thank them for making it a thing. The guitar work on this beast is nothing short of legendary.

The raw, powerful production spearheaded by Tomas Skogsberg and the band captures their live energy, packaging it into 12 tracks of pure aggression. With lyrics from Nicke Andersson and Alex Hellid diving into death, decay, and a giant middle finger to traditional values, "Left Hand Path" is unapologetically intense. Ranked No. 82 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time and inducted into Decibel Magazine's Hall of Fame, this album stands as a testament to the band's influence and brutality. If you're into death metal, or just looking to understand a pivotal moment in the genre's evolution, this album is non-negotiable. - Chase
