Listening to Gut Ripper - Dead in Domsaga Live. Brutal Swedish death metal. Growling vocals, some great drum work and the sound mix is pretty good for a live recording.

Listening to All Hell Within - demo 2015. This was classed in the Swedish death metal albums but it's definitely metalcore, reminds me of Pantera.

Added a nice new Unleashed logo patch from Value Merchandise in Germany to my jacket. A lot more sewing to do but it's getting there. Got a lovely pile waiting to go on over the next week or so if I get the time

Listening to Six Feet Under - Warpath. Chris's cleaner raspy vocals on this are great. Musically adding some different guitar sounds to the typical death metal sound.

Watching Entombed- Clandestine Live video. It's weird watching the audience all seated but still head banging along.

Enjoying reading Swedish Death Metal by Daniel Ekeroth. I'm past the halfway point of the historical part, reading about the first death metal albums. Then it's into the lists of bands and releases. It's going to make me want to search out and buy loads of albums

Listening to Morbid Angel - Altars of Madness. Completely blistering death metal that paved the way for so many bands.

Listening to Entombed - Hollowman EP from 1993. Definitely the start of their death n roll style. The styles seem to jump all over the place. Death n roll, alt 90s metal, growling, clean vocals like Pantera. It's a bit of a mish mash release.

Listening to Entombed - Crawl EP. This is a brutal bridge between Left Hand Path and Clandestine. Orvar from Nirvana 2002 does an amazing job on vocals.

Got myself a copy of Choosing Death by Albert Mudrian second hand. Managed to get it for £13, its pretty much £25-£30 everywhere else I've ever seen it. In excellent condition too. It's the original print run not the new version with some updates.

Listening to Xorsist - At The Somber Steps To Serenity (2023). Brutal old school Swedish death metal from these Stockholm natives. Growling vocals, buzzsaw guitars and atmospheric. Amazing artwork too.

Listening to Paganizer - The Tower of the Morbid, their 11th album from 2019. Exactly what you expect, and require, from Paganizer and Rogga.

Listening to Revolting - The Shadow At The World's End (2020), the 7th album from another of Rogga Johansson's bands.
Brutal, almost barking vocals, and buzzsaw guitars.

Interview with Dissection from Swedish fanzine Putrefaction #3 in 1990. I hope that sometime in the near future there will be a retro need for physical fanzines again.

Finally getting the chance to listen to the new Paganizer album As Mankind Rots. Brutal, pounding death metal from Rogga and crew once again. Can't believe I have to wait another 3 days for his next album.
