We. Can. Not. Live. Without. These. Albums!
Dismember – Like An Everflowing Stream (1991)
Source // img13.nnm.me
Alongside Entombed’s Left Hand Path, Dismember’s Like An Ever Flowing Stream is one of themost crucial documents of the pioneering Swedish death metal scene; establishing a format and sound that’s still retro-fitted by a leg of bands to this very day; often replicated in a fruitless attempt to invoke the same response this primitive beast induced back in 1991.
Featuring the obligatory downtuned, ultra-distorted guitar and bass riffs – ably backed by Matti Karki’s feral barks, inhuman gurgles and animalistic roars – this is the sound of Scandinavian death metal perfected and each and every song on this all-time classic still slays, grinding its way into your sub-conscience with each serrated buzzsaw riff.
The best thing to ever come out of Sweden? Probably.
