Over the years, Sweden's Entombed has evolved into one of the most original and uncompromising metal outfits, incorporating elements of hardcore and garage rock into its brutal wall of sound. But when it first started its trail of terror in 1990, Entombed was just another poorly produced death metal band. Left Hand Path features some startling tempo shifts and daunting lacerated throat howls, but it only hints at the brilliance the band would later discover on albums like Wolverine Blues and To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth. That said, tracks like "When Life Has Ceased," "Morbid Devourment," and "Abnormally Deceased" are as good as most anything by Morbid Angel, Death, or Dissection, and will surely appeal to ravenous fans of all things fetid and depraved. --Jon Wiederhorn

Beginning A Revolution.......2007-06-17

I think it is safe to say that the Swedish basically dominated the extreme metal scene in the 90's, with bands emerging such as Dismember, Unleashed, Eucharist, At The Gates, and, of course, Entombed. You may think of Entombed nowadays as a band that mixes death metal with rock and roll (a.k.a. "Death n Roll"), but back in the early 90's, on their days on Earache records, the band played solid and excellent death metal that was different from the Florida hot bed that spawned Death, Morbid Angel, Obituary, Nocturnus, etc.

Thus, we have "Left Hand Path", released in 1990. The guitars here are tuned to a raw sound that is hard to describe, and the raw production makes them stand out as well. I also must say that this has some good drumming as well. Solos are executed perfectly. Riffs? You got them!

Overall, a great death metal album that is definitely a classic in my books. If you enjoy this, make sure you check out these albums as well:
"Like An Everflowing Stream" by Dismember
"A Velvet Creation" by Eucharist
"The Red In The Sky Is Ours" by At The Gates

Clandestine is a must have.......2006-10-06

This album is a must have for any music-lover of the dark metal ways.
In my opinion there isnt a bad track here at all--from beginning to end this album rips through you and leaves you wanting more--Wait no more mortals, BUY THIS ALBUM!

As close to perfection as possible..........2006-04-17

It doesn't get much better than this. Everything about this album is done perfectly: the guitar tone, the vocals, the lyrics, the drumming, the song writing, even the goddamn cover artwork. This is my favorite death metal album from what I have seen so far. It's an album that Entombed never really topped either. They came close with the next one, then had a decent album, then have been putting out crap ever since.
The infamous sunshine studios guitar tone sounds perfect, as is the rest of the production. Unlike many other death metal albums, for better or for worse, this album really has a sense of space, which is reflected in the cover artwork. This is accomplished by the song writing, different instrumentation, and most importantly the vocal effects and techniques. L G Petrov uses what I like to call an "atmospheric growl" for lack of a better word. It was being used before this, at least by Obituary, but this album really perfects it. Essentially, it starts off soft and gets louder and then echoes. The guitars also have an echo to them which adds to the effect of giving a sense of space.
The lyrics are very good as well. Unfortunately, only a few of them are available. I really wish these guys would publish the lyrics as well as the tabs! They also have a sense of humor about the whole thing, but never come across as goofy or just plain silly. They were originally called Nihilist and some of the lyrics really reflect nihilistic values in a humorous sense. In the song "But Life Goes On," the lyrics right before the chorus are "Continue to seek and you will see/Life is your worst enemy!" This rivals "Wanting to die is your reason to live" (Slayer - Postmortem) in terms of being nihilistic in a funny way.
Let's have a look at each individual song since each one has something to contribute to the album:

Left Hand Path 10/10 - What a way to start off an album. This song is an epic classic. It starts off with a scream followed immediately by a snare drum hit, giving the impression of someone falling down into the depths of insanity, or perhaps the chasm on the cover. This also sets the precedent for the sense of space the album has. Immediately after, the listener is crushed with power chords that introduce you to the guitar tone and then two mini solos right off the bat to let you know that these guys mean business.
The song continues at a fast pace for a minute and then slows down. This album is full of tempo changes to keep things interesting. Soon after this, we hear the first atmospheric growl, giving a sense of space and atmosphere. Then we hear somewhat of a hardcore breakdown (at least to what my sense of an actual hardcore breakdown is!) Basically, the guitars get really chunky. After another atmospheric growl, we hear a guitar solo, which unlike the lyrics or most other death metal bands, isn't really nihilistic in an atonal sense, but is rather thoughtful and has a feeling to it, instead of being just plain fast and brutal.
After this the song picks up it's pace again, throwing little solos at you one after another. Then it slows down again, giving you an atmospheric growl. This is where things start to get interesting. The band introduces the melody which is actually the theme from the movie series "Phantasm." I believe it's played on a synthesizer or something, but it doesn't sound artificial. It sounds eerie and has a latent evil quality to it. This is where the cover comes in handy. They have really captured the feeling of this part of the song in the cover; it's atmospheric, eerie, spacious, evil, rich vibrant. Take a look at it when you are listening to this part of the song. The left hand path beckons. Apparently the left hand path is a metaphor for the way of the devil or something like that. A close look at the tombstone reveals the epitaph "REST IN FESTERING SLIME." We are really just beginning going down the left hand path. We are about to find out what hidden pleasures lie beyond, over the bridge, through the strange blue mist and over the horizon.
While we are drawn in by the Phantasm melody, a guitar suddenly slams with a power chord, which gives a different, slower melody over the Phantasm melody with plenty of pick slides, creating an interesting harmony. Soon the guitar takes over and the synthesizer is taken out. This is where the epic solo starts. Once again, it's not really atonal, but has a real feeling to it. It isn't technically self indulgent either: it has slow parts and fast parts, but is never difficult just for the sake of showing off. When it's over, the melody is continued by the guitars, which fade out, but only slightly, so there is actually a last note which gives you a sense of closure and completeness, rather than fizzling out like some 80s pop song by fading into oblivion.

Drowned - 9/10 - This song starts off with a fast jarring riff to snap you out of the trance the last track put you in. Then just as suddenly as it started, it stops for a moment. One guitar comes in with a fast, descending riff which is joined by the second at the end. They play a slower, more open, and not as percussive riff after this. At the end there is a nice pinch harmonic and of course the atmospheric growl. This sense of space created by the slow open riff and growl is contrasted by the suffocating fast riff played at the beginning. This is where you really start to settle into the record.
The song basically switches back and fourth between the fast and slow riff, making things interesting. Near the end it gets really slow and heavy with plenty of atmospheric growls, once again making a sense of space, followed by some good solos. After this the song picks up at full speed again. All of the elements of the song, the vocals, drums, guitars, are going at full speed but then suddenly stop to end the song. I guess you could say at this point the metaphorical drowning is over. After the fast thrashing parts of you trying desperately to swim, and the slow parts of you slowly suffocating to death, your brain has finally died.

Revel in Flesh - 10/10 - This song has such a great groove to it. The simple alternating drum beat is the basis of the song, but it departs from this so many times is various ways that it sort of entices the listener to want it to come back. This is probably one of the best use of alternating tempos and song structures I have ever heard.
The song starts off with some power chords, then the main riff, and then they both come together with the drums. Just try not head banging to this part or at least tapping your foot (I find myself doing the later more, not that it makes it any worse.) The slight stops, the palm muting of the guitars, and the use of the drums are thrown at you in a different way at the end of almost each time the riff is played. This great sense of groove continues into the chorus, followed by a usual brief pause, and then goes back to the verse, back in the same groove.
At the end of the second verse, it repeats the chorus, and then gets really interesting. There is a great atmospheric bridge, supported by the atmospheric growl, then some great guitar effects with an overdrive pedal, some whammy bar, and reverb. After this, we have another great hardcore breakdown for the second part of the bridge. It's really chunky, then gives a power chord in place of two chunks of guitar, followed by some melodic riff work to round it out. This interestingly makes your head hang on the down swing, since there is an emphasis on the last part.
At the end of the second part of the bridge, Petrov growls REVEL IN THE FLESH which is a great way to kick off the awesome solo. Just try and not play air guitar to this one. At the end of a thoughtful and melodic, yet uncompromising solo, it once stops for a moment. Then it stops for another moment. They are just playing with you now. They know you want to hear them main riff again, since it has such a great groove. It finally does and Petrov reinforces it with a perfectly used grunt. Yet they still make it interesting. After you hear the riff three more times, they use more palm muting and a different drum pattern to make things interesting, and then it falls back into the groove. The groove continues to the end, giving some different drum patterns and then finally a scream by Petrov and then the song ends with a tremolo bar crushing the last note and then letting it back up again.
When Life Has Ceased - 9/10 - A drum fill starts off this song followed by a great sense of groove similar to the last song. Just try and not head bang to this one either. Once again, the atmospheric growl is used. The first line of the lyrics is "when life has ceased" which just seems delightfully morbid to me and is repeated at various points in the song. It then goes to the chorus which is moved on by some great grunts ("ye-uh".) It goes back to the verse again, then the chorus. The bridge is up next which is slow and heavy. It gives you six notes, and then plays them again with the drums reinforcing them to make them more brutal, a technique really used best in track 8, "Morbid Devourment."
The song then picks up a bit, then slows down even more, with the usual atmospheric growls. It then picks up the pace again, followed by some good solos. After the solos it continues on, seeming like it could end at any second and then finally does with a grunt that is echoed and gives it a good sense of finality.

Supposed to Rot - 8/10 - This song if pretty short (only about two minutes long) and has a pretty good sense of groove like the last two songs. It starts off with the drums then an interesting riff, then a little fill, followed by the main riff. The verse continues on followed by the chorus, which is introduced by Petrov growling "you're supposed to rot." Once again, Entombed show their slightly humorous take on death metal. He says it again to introduce a sort of non solo, which is just a trill note on the guitar. It then goes back to the verse, followed by a brief pause, then Petrov growling "your supposed to rot...yea", which ends the song, sort of. The tremolo bars are used to modulate the pitch and show off the guitar tone at the end, much like the end of Revel in Flesh. I think they mainly used this to put the song over the two minute mark though.
This song doesn't have as much to offer as the songs preceding it, but it's certainly not annoying or boring by any means. It's still has a good feel to it, and is kept short since the ideas behind it are relatively simple. It's strategically put here because the next song is so damn good.

But Life Goes On - 10/10 - This is one of Entombed's first songs. It's really simple, but it's a lot like Mutilation by Death, or Black Magic by Slayer, or Black Sabbath by Black Sabbath, in that it's not the most complicated or even best song that they have written, but it really gives a great sense of the band's sound in one song.
It's one of those no nonsense songs that doesn't start off with a drum intro and doesn't have any time changes, but is great in a simple way. The riff is chaotic in a way and is basically a lots of notes play really fast in an atonal fashion reinforced by power chords at the end. For the most part, it follows the traditional verse/chorus song structure and doesn't have many tempo changes.
Most of all though, the lyrics make this song. Fortunately, they are readily available on this site. "But why should I go to heaven /And who's to say I'll enter HELL", with the two power chords emphasizing HELL! This is followed up by the first chorus, which doesn't give you the best part of the song right away, but then goes back to the verse, and then the chorus again. This time at the end, the phrase "Continue to seek and you will see/That life is your worst eneMY!" It's so cheesy, but there is such an eerie sense of calm in the moment between the two phrases, and such utter conviction in how it is said. Sure it makes no sense, but you can still get the idea of what he is saying. It can also be viewed as nihilistic since it makes no sense. Petrov also screams the last syllable, which I am having trouble replicating really, but is still fun to sing along with. This line can really be seen as the apex of the whole album, which is pretty much in the very middle of the middle song. If there was an Entombed shirt which said "Continue to seek and you will see..." on the front and "Life is your worse enemy!" on the back I would buy it.
After this, there is a great bridge, with the obligatory atmospheric growl, followed by the solos. At the end of the solos, the main riff is reintroduced and the verse starts again, it ends again with instead I'll enter HELL" and then the chorus with "Life is your worst enemy" again. This time, the last syllable is sort of turned into an atmospheric growl, since it starts off soft and then gets louder. This is followed by a quick interlude with four ascending riffs and then a satisfying grunt to end the song.

Bitter Loss - 10/10 - This song starts off with some power chords, joined in by some melodic riffing, and then, like some many other death metal songs with were probably influenced by this, the obligatory bass mini solo, which is used perfectly. It is followed by a power chord, and then it gets into a great groove. I always get this song confused with Revel in Flesh since they both have the same great sense of groove.
There are plenty of small little halts in the tempo, just like Revel in Flesh. It does this through the first verse, then also in the chorus. It settles back into the second verse. Once again, the lyrics aren't available and hard to decipher, but I know one of the lines in the second verse is "rip you all to shreds!" which is delivered particularly well.
After this it goes into the bridge, which has a few good grunts here and there. It then goes into three or four more different bridges which shows the complex winding song structures this album has. Over one of these, it gives a good solo, then lulls for a moment, then gives a really great melodic solo. During this solo, I find myself equally intrigued by both the solo and the riff that supports it so I find myself listening to on and then the other.
After this it settles back into the verse, after a brief lull, which basically brings it back home. At the end Petrov, keeps repeating what I think is "It's just a momentary loss," but of course I am probably wrong since the lyrics aren't available. This is followed by some melodic riffing. At the end off each riff, it seems like the song is going to end, and then after three times it finally does with an extra power chord at the end.
Morbid Devourment - 9/10 - The song starts off slow and heavy with an atmospheric growl, then it suddenly stops completely for a second, then it comes back with the tempo increased by the slightest amount. Once again, you want to headbang to this since it has such a great sense of groove. It eventually slows down, then speeds up. Next it pauses and gives us nine notes played twice each in so it's more of a tremolo type thing, which set us up for something interesting later. It then goes back to the main groove, and then back to the same nine notes again. Right after the nine notes are played the way it was the first time, two each, and then Petrov yells GO and the notes are now power chords played once each and supported by the drums so it gives you more of a sense of getting punched in the face. They go back to playing them tremolo a couple more times, with a good scream, and then suddenly slow it down, then pick up the pace slightly and add a blast beat. This is followed by the solos ending the song, then an interesting "bleh" which is echoed to give a sense of space and an ending to the song.

Abnormally Deceased - 8/10 - This song starts off slow and then picks up the pace. This song doesn't have as much to offer really, but a nice "DIE!" keeps you engaged. It's pretty much the typical verse/chorus/solo structure, and isn't really bad, but it doesn't have much going on that is special like the other songs.

The Truth Beyond - 9/10 - This song is somewhat epic, like the first one and is a good serves as a bookend like the first to keep things memorable. It starts off a little slow then has some nice dual pick sliding action and then picks up the pace. This song gives an intelligent critique of organized religion, and fortunately the lyrics are available, but it sort of shoots itself in the foot when it talks about dissecting Jesus Christ, which is fine by itself, but I was hoping that the whole song would keep the theme of being critical but instead mixes in some brain dead gore, which once again is fine on it's own, but sort of undermines the song here.

Carnal Leftovers - 8/10 - Here we have the first bonus track. This song has some time changes and is pretty good, but doesn't nothing really worth pointing out.

Premature Autopsy - 9/10 - ATTENTION CANNIBAL CORPSE FANS: This song has the riff that Cannibal Corpse ripped off for their number one hit "Hammer Smashed Face!" Listen to the two songs and compare the main riff. They are damn near identical. This album was released AT LEAST two years before Tomb of the Mutilated, so it's obvious that Cannibal Corpse ripped this song off, like they rip everything off. It's also interesting that it's pretty much Cannibal Corpse's best, most notorious song and for Entombed it's just a bonus track. Yet at the same time Cannibal Corpse is more popular. Life's not fail I guess.
I do appreciate how CC did give actually point out that the riff sounds like you were actually pounding someone's face in, but Premature Autopsy is still a pretty cool name. Entombed also use a different vocal style here. The vocals sound more processed and it gives some nice variation from the same voice you have been hearing the whole album. It's a pretty straightforward song with an interesting scream at around 2:05 that gives the album a great sense of finality. It continues on for a little more, with some good grunts and some good solos and finally ends with a lull and then a crushing power chord.

So there you have it. Looking at the other reviews, it seems that not enough people have this album, so more people should get it. It's pretty much a buy or die situation.

Total Brutality!!!.......2006-04-17

The 1st release from Entombed, "Left Hand Path," is an all time death metal classic. Not just in death metal, but in metal in general... I like every song on this CD, & this is one of my fav. death metal CDs. I listen to this one constantly! The 2nd one, "Clandestine," is good too, but I think this one a a bit more brutal in my opinion. Honestly, I didnt like the vox in Clandestine as much as I did in Left Hand Path. It was actually Nicke Anderson (formerly on drums) who did the vox on Clandestine, & I dont know... I just didnt like them as much as LG's vox... he's definitly the man for Entombed. But seriously... just listen to the 1st song, the crushing title song, & you'll be blown away, & I LOVE that creepy outro...! Death metal doesnt have to be totally blindly fast & technical to be enjoyable as this CD proves just that. Highlights are the title song, "Drowned," "Revel in Flesh," "Suspossed to Rot," & the brutal final song "Premature Autopsy" which has some really kick-a$$ & evil sounding vox! Kinda reminds me of Glen Benton in Deicide, with all that demonic shreeking while he screams... anyway, this CD is becoming harder to find, so get a copy when & if you can, its totally worth it & if you have to have an least one Entombed album in your collection, this one should be it.

This is just a sick CD here. Not as epic as some of their earlier stuff but for flat out riff ripping this one rocks! Honestly this has got to be one of the true classics of Death Metal and its just a must have CD.

Classic from the founders of Death N Roll.......2006-12-17

Im an avid Entombed fan from Left Hand Path to When In Sodom im a huge fan. Leaning away from the traditional death metal sound (Which they helped pioneer in the late 80's and early 90's) Entombed added other influences to their sound mainly that of older rock and some punk you could say to create a perfect sound known as Death N Roll. They founded it n they do it better than ne one else too. This is certainly Entombed's best album showcasing their talent flawlessly on such tracks as "rotten soil" "wolverine blues". The album has nothing to do with Marvil comics well at least the band didnt however w/o their permission the label made a deal with Marvel comics which is very gay indeed not that I dont like Xmen or Wolverine my fav comic book caracter. This album is a really great classic of early 90's death metal after helping pioneer (of course behind bands such as Death, Obituary, Dark Tranquillity) death metal they founded death n roll. Its a great album by ne standards if your a fan of death n roll or death metal or just metal youll like it. And if you like Entombed why the heck havent u picked this buety up yet!!!??? Surely the best work by them to date however Entombed has a history of supprising rises from the "ashes" so to speak so watch for Serpant Saints coming in March or Febuary of 2007.

Classic .......2006-06-12

I've read some quite unintelligent reviews about this album on here. I won't mention any names, but it seems like a few people missed out on one of the best metal albums ever released by dismissing it because the lyrics weren't "hard core" enough. For a band from Sweden (I'm assuming English is a second language here) these lyrics are some of the best I have ever heard. Aside from the occasional usage of foul language, the lyrical songwriting is very intelligent in songs like Contempt, Hollowman and Out of Hand. This is not typical satan metal or gore metal with lyrics about evoking the devil or ripping people's limbs off, these lyrics actually have substance. As far as the music goes, this is perfection. There are no land speed guitar record riffs, no beat your head against the wall blasting drums and no incoherent glass gargling vocals. There are lots of chugging guitars, crunchy riffs and some exquisite drum work. Petrov's vocals are tough, but not cheesy. This album, along with both Swansong and Heartwork by Carcass, and Wickerman's self titled debut, are about the only albums that have this same kind of groove. Thats unfortunate because this is a formula that really works well, and in the overcrowded genre of death metal, this is a breath of fresh air. Granted this album is almost 13 years old, it still sounds fresh.

Average Metal record.......2006-02-10

Entombed is one of those Bands that are pretty much hit or miss with certain albums. "Wolverine Blues" is a on of those that seems to miss a bit, yet its really nothing special. Its pretty much just raw metal, not really "Death or Black" on Genere. The vocals are pretty intense, guitar work is OK, and the drums are about average. I have heard other Entombed albums that are much better then this, as this is kind of a sub-par effort. Its not all that bad as there are some really crunchy tunes on here, but there is some filler material, and the songs that suck, really suck. Try another Entombed record then this, as it is just average.

Better than Slayer.......2006-01-20

Different strokes for different folks, but if you have that streak of irreverant darkness then this is for you. Death and roll.

Entombed may have started in the late '80s as an uninspired death metal band, but since then they've evolved into a visceral and unrelenting outfit that draws inspiration from bands as varied as Corrosion of Conformity, Black Flag and MC5. To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth scalds and cuts like an exploding coffeemaker, lacerating the listener with shards of liquid energy. Proto-Sabbath rhythm and bestial howls gallop alongside death metal tones and hardcore aggression, providing something for everyone that has ever wanted revenge on annoying neighbors. --Jon Wiederhorn

3 1/2.......2006-02-14

If there is one thing that I will agree with, is that Entombed is nothing like the Entombed of old, yet I still kinda like the new style. To say its Death Metal is kinda reaching, yet its still Heavy Metal. But its more just straight up Metal then anything else. Its not really anything special or that stands out, but they are some good cruncy riffs and some good screaming, yet its not done Nu Metal style which is GOOD. Give it a chance as it might grow on you. Why emtombed decided to stop performing Pure Death Metal is beyond me, but since the release of "Wolverine Blues" (which in my opinion is their worst album)they have moved farther away from their Death Metal roots, and I believe they call thier new style Death Rock and Roll. Its not a Great effort, but there are some really good songs on this album, and I will take it over most of the New Rock and Metal of today.

This is not Entombed.......2006-01-19

Entombed has not Entombed for years now. People say Mourning Star was a great comeback album, but I disagree. This album is a huge let down. How can any Entombed fan get into this ?? Horrible sound, and the songs are just downright bad. Why bother with this when better Swedish Death Metal albums are out there ?

Entombed's Most Accessable For New Fans.......2005-04-14

This, i believe, is more Hard Rock/Heavy Metal, rather than Death Metal. The whole album, and especially the fantastic opener "To Ride, Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth"..is just a great big ball of energy. The riffs are bouncy, and energetic, and overall it's a pretty fun, rocking, album. I don't know how anyone could be disappointed in it.

I think this is probably the album everyone new to Entombed should try out first. This is easily their most accessable, with songs like the aforementioned "To Ride, Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth", "Like This With The Devil", "Lights Out", "They", the awesome "Damn Deal Done" and "Wreckage". Which i think "Wreckage" was the single for this album, but i'm not entirely sure.

This whole album is very listenable. It changes tempo alot of the time, with fast songs like "Parasight", "Just As Sad" and "Uffe's Horrorshow". The other songs i haven't mentioned are mostly Hard Rock, with a bit of Swedish Thrash Metal mixed in with it. It pays off most of the time, but there are some 'filler' songs on this CD. Such as "Wound", "Put Me Out" and "Boats" i think.

The song "DcIXVI" is a 1:46 minute song that could easily be on some sort of movie. It's a short piano song, that surprisingly fits with the mood of the album. In a way it could be looked at as a 'filler' song, but it's not bad to listen to. It adds a sort of mini-break in the middle of the album, before "Parasight" comes on and pummels you with it's groovy, fast, riffs and faster drumming.

Above all..if you're into Entombed, no doubt you'd already have this by now. If you haven't, you should pick it up immediately, as it's a great buy and a great addition to your collection. And to fans who want to check Entombed out, this is the best way to start, i think.

I'm not a hesher!.......2002-09-02

...As a matter of fact, I first listened to "To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak The Truth" because, well, I was a curious Hellacopters fan. I didn't know what to expect, but I wasn't disappointed. In many respects, this is a harsher, darker, angrier, violent take on the 'Copters "Payin' The Dues." It's sludgy, discordant, but full of huge riffs and hooks. Whoever said "To Ride..." is "The best rock and roll album ever recorded by a death metal band" hit it right on the head. Aside from a couple of unfortunate filler tracks on side two, this entire album rocks you like a gee dee hurricane from start to finish. This thing SWINGS where most bands of this genre are content to merely pummel, and the dirty garage-punk feel makes the death metal tendencies hit even harder.

Did anyone else notice that "Wound" is a really good Unsane impersonation? Or that "Parasight" (dig the Cheap Trick sample!) is a rather blatant riff-copping of Rocket From The Crypt's "Boychucker?"...

a personal fav-o-rite from the tomb!.......2001-01-04

ok. if you wanna combine guitars that sound like buzzsaws with the chugging of a freight train, and then mix in some set trashin' drums and a bass that you can't hear, toppin it all off with LG Petrov screamin in your ear....this is what you get. this album slams like nobodys business. i don't know exactly what that means, but trust me. and although this grinding HEAVY metal has some serious sounding lines ("Look ma, the body's got no head") the truth is that these guys are having a great time. the lyrics are great, and i really have fun listening to this. i picture the concert with the music rippin you a new pipe, fists and beers in the air, and me yelling right along with LG. how can you beat it? out of all my entombed albums, this is my favorite. it's more consistent than uprising, just plain better than black juju, and more accessible than wolverine blues. it's not as "death" as their earlier stuff, and it's got this head bobbing drive to it that you'll just love. but it now! i love you baby when i'm dead!

Classic Swedish Death.......2007-04-03

Only slightly less (and I mean extremely slightly) essential than 1990's Left Hand Path, 1991's Clandestine features the same extreme and blood-curdling vocals and more brutal musicianship from the Scandinavian death-metal masters. If you enjoy death metal and want to hear the best of what the genre has to offer, get this and Left Hand Path along with Carnage's Dark Recollections (which sounds extremely similar to what is heard hear which makes sense since they shared the same producer and studio with each other).

Best death metal album.......2007-01-08

In my opinion, which I've held for a long time, this is the best death metal album ever made. The songs are original and memorable. This is an album that you can listen to again and again and not grow tired of it. My only critique of it is the sound quality of the guitars is poor enough that sometimes the pitch of the notes is indistinguishable.

Entombed after this album did the whole world a great disservice by changing their style to rock-metal.

Clandestine is a classic death metal album........2006-11-20

Alot of reviewers have said that their first album Left hand path was better which is true but it doesn't mean that this album was a sophmore slump, its just as good and it also has a different sound which means that they were evolving cause you could tell that these guys are talented. Back when this album was released in 1991 it was considered a trendsetting death metal album and has increased in importance throughout the years. Clandestine also finds these Swedish artists retaining the complexity and brutality of their first album while making and crafting better music and lyrics which is the result of drummer Nicke Andersson who wrote most of the songs. The best songs are Evilyn, Stranger Aeons and Crawl which in the demo track sounds alot longer and better in my opinion.

A Death Metal Classic/Masterpiece.......2006-09-28

This is definitely a Scandinavian Death Metal classic and certainly put Stockholm and Sunlight Studios on the map. You gotta love the dirty dirty guitar and bass!

I saw a review that said Nicke Andersson did the vox, but I'm pretty sure it's LG on vox with the credits going to Johnny Dordevic, but I could be wrong. Either way, if you're a fat, old fan of Death Metal, you already have this. If not, I would recommend it. The early 90's were good years for Death Metal!

SLICING THROATS AT AN INSANE RATE.......2006-04-18

I didnt like Clandestine as much as I did their masterpeice of a debut "Left Hand Path," but it's still a great album. The main thing for me is the vocals... It was actually Nicke Anderson, former drummer, that stepped up & did the vox on the album even though it doesn't say in the CD booklet because LG Petrov was temporarly kicked out of the band. He does have some great sounding vox here & there, but personally I think LG did a better job. That's why I gave it 4 stars instead of 5. Aside from the vox, the album itself is pretty good. Some songs are slower & chug along instead of total all-out thrash, such as "Evilyn," but that also makes it different & unique. All & all, its a good album well worth listening to.

SKULL KRACKER !!!!!!.......2005-03-12

Great RocknRoll/Metal album...This album Grooves with bad intentions and meanness....Great Guitar Tone, and thundering production...pick this up and CRANK IT!!!!!

Outstanding .......2004-08-29

Those who are new to the whole Swedish death metal scene, here is the band you need to look up to. This is a fantastic album to start an Entombed obsession with as well. This is one of the most brutal yet listenable records of the new millenium. Dangerous combination.

Entombed have been around forever at this point, and their last couple albums have been great as well. Morning Star will someday stand up with some of thrash metal's greatest pieces. Uprising, however, is so raw, so garage, so dark, yet so swaggering that it cannot be ignored. This is the definition of Death'n'Roll. Simply put, if you love heavy music, you will love Uprising. This is a very hard to find gem, but worth
the effort.

Full Thottle Doomy Death-N-Roll.......2004-03-04

Far and away Entombed's best Death-N-Roll album. It may even be a better overall effort than "Left Hand Path" (no kidding). More thrashing than "Wolverine Blues" album, at any rate! Great song-writing! Very consistent. It just keeps raging on an on like rolling thunder, with each track standing out pretty well. Some killer bass-playing (of course). Such a strong vocal presence, and beautiful guitar solos, and swinging drumming. Reminds me of Motorhead's "Sacrifice" album.
The way these guys keep belting out rage-rock album to album after so many years leads us to the conclusion, these guys are still really pissed off!
The best track on Uprising is their cover of Deadhorse's "Scottish Hell." Deadhorse were a local Houston, TX band. The odd-ball lyrics are a Houston thing.
I've got to give this 5 stars, though only because as an album, it dominates this genre. It makes bands like Hatebreed, Pro-pain, Cro-bar, Slipknot, Static X, Korn, and Mudvayne look pretty weak.

Total Difference.......2003-08-06

Usually when a band shifts gears a la Entombed did with "Same Difference", they simply cannot come back (see Metallica). Well, Entombed has proven me wrong. On the heels of the aforementioned experimental opus, "Same Difference", it seems like Entombed just got ... and made a stellar, unrelentingly brutal death and roll masterpiece in "Uprising". From the opening cut, "Seeing Red", a perfect fusion of old school blues and death metal to "Won't Back Down", simply one of the most pummelling metal songs of all time, the Tombers came back with a vengeance and make no bones about it. "Say it In Slugs" slugs you in the gut and raps you over the head; "The Itch" seems like it could have been lifted from Sabbath's Vol. 4; "The Only Ones" is sludgy and mean; "Come Clean" is just nasty; and there's plenty more good cuts on there. Basically, Entombed have proven me wrong and in the process created one of the best metal albums I have ever heard. DEFINITELY BUY THIS DISC! And if you HAVEN'T heard the follow up, "Morning Star", BUY THAT TOO!

Entombed's 2nd best!!.......2003-02-22

For a few years i was out of the metal scene. Fear factory was becoming a joke (obsolete), At The Gates split up, Pungent Stench were gone, and Max left Sepultura so.....things were looking bleak and then one day out of curiosity I was looking up some Wolverine Blues stuff (my favorite album) on the web and saw the 'new' Entombed album called Uprising I hear 'Seeing Red' then bought the album a week later. I was blown away my how amazing this album was and once I heard "say it in slugs" I was convinced that I had heard the greatest metal song ever made. I know there's a ton of people out there that want to knock Entombed but there's no denying the power of this metal classic. If it was enough to resurrect my love for metal well it's a 5 star in my book. ENJOY!

I give it 5 stars because it's entombed.......2000-04-18

I have waited nearly four months for this album and the wait is finally over, it's a good little album, show casing the many talents of this great metal band. It's not left hand path or wolverine blues material (both albums are in a league of their own, respectively) but for a moment just try to forget about the past work of entombed and listen to this like u are listening to them for the first time, I know that it is hard though. I recommend for the metal maniacs, entombed's new album, "uprising". I have owned it for about 2 weeks and it gets better with each listen, one for the collection. Entombed are the greatest band in the whole world...Cheers!
