BIRMINGHAM'S BEST RETAILER FOR METAL AND HARDCORE

THE ENTOMBED

Swedish death metal band comprised of guitarist Uffe Cederlund, vocalist Lars-Goran Petrov, guitarist Alex Hellid, bassist Lars Rosenberg (later replaced by Grave's Jörgen Sandström) and drummer Nicke Andersson. In a genre where bands are ruled by conservatism and are loath to change their sound once it has been established, Entombed, like their contemporaries Sepultura and Death, are one of the few bands willing to experiment with their basic sound, incorporate other influences, or simply progress musically. They are considered by many to be the top band on Sweden's death metal scene thanks to albums including 1991's Left Hand Path, 1994's Wolverine Blues and 1997's To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth. Their first live album, Monkey Puss: Live in London, followed in 1999, as did a new studio effort, Black Juju; Uprising was issued in fall 2000. Andersson, who left the group in the mid-'90s, later formed the Hellacopters.
