I was surprised at the fact they were major death metal. Being a collaboration of Opeth and Katatonia I expected doomy/progressive death metal. But I am a fan of this band, they did something outside their usual boxes so to speak.

Glad to see more like these guys. I love their brutal style.

Just discovered these guys a few weeks ago. Had always wondered what it would be like to have Akerfeldt front a traditional Death Metal band, & I wasn't disappointed. The second album with Tatgren is quite good, too.

These guys are really cool. I have the last two CDs. Great brutal Death Metal
Nice work, Riff.

The first ep and Resurrection Through Carnage (2002) are amazing and then they changed their sound to the modern production

The song that won me over as a young teen was this bloody beautiful sucker :


Favorite album was difficult to come to but I've listened to "Nightmares Made Flesh" a thousand times and then some. His vocals are some of the strongest in metal I've heard. Really convicting what he's screaming and growling about lyrically. The guitar work is also something to be noted but not required to be explained as the songs speak for themselves. The variation they instill is superb and prevents that flat predictable pattern we all eventually get sick of song to song.

Have all their albums now and really enjoy their first release Nightmares Made Flesh.

Nightmare Mades Flesh was their second album mate - and their third release overall. Their first and imo best full length album was "Resurrection Through Carnage". They released an EP called "Breeding Death" before that, which I still consider my absolute favourite Bloodbath release. Around 13 min of pure awesomeness. I remember having it on repeat constantly when it came out – still listen to it regularly!
