Description
BLOODBATH'S 2002 DEBUT FULL-LENGTH STUDIO ALBUM MARKS ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY, ON MID-PRICE CD - FEATURES THE LINE-UP OF ANDERS NYSTROM, JONAS RENKSE, MIKAEL AKERFELDT & DAN SWANO.
Bloodbath is a titan of death metal from Stockholm, Sweden, notable for the inclusion of Katatonia & Opeth members & in their recent era, welcoming Nick Holmes of UK doom legends Paradise Lost to join in with the brutality. Formed in 1998 with a mutual fascination for horror & the glory days of death metal from classic bands such as Entombed, Morbid Angel, Cancer & Autopsy, Bloodbath has remained a leading light of extreme metal since their 'Breeding Death' EP was unleashed back in 2000 & a formidable force for over 20 years, cemented in recent times by their 'Grand Morbid Funeral' (2014) opus & its follow-up, the even blacker-hearted 'The Arrow Of Satan Is Drawn' in 2018.
Debut album 'Resurrection Through Carnage' was released in 2002 & built on the foundations laid by the 'Breeding Death' EP, with a continuation of the classic old school Swedish sound & d-beat style, whilst notably establishing a maturity & identity of their own. The album introduced more dynamic & controlled, groove-laden passages & melodic/atmospheric texturing, whilst still infusing the compositions with influences from the genre's glorious past.
As with 'Breeding Death', Bloodbath's line-up of Anders Nyström & Jonas Renkse of Katatonia, Mikael Akerfeldt of Opeth & Dan Swanö of Edge of Sanity remained, with production & engineering duties once more handled by Dan Swanö & the band.
This edition of 'Resurrection Through Carnage' marks 20 years since the album's original release & is presented on mid-price CD with 8-page booklet including lyrics.
