I can name quite a few of them: Therion (up to '95 then they turned shit), Unleashed, Grave, Desultory, Vomitory, Hypocrisy, Seance, Carnage, Furbowl, Cemetary (upto '95). Also some cool shit from demo days Nirvana 2002, Macrodex, House of Usher, Crematory

[soph]

good UNDERGROUND shit from sweden includes kaamos, incision, verminous and impious.
i can send you mp3s if you want. :)

[soph]

although not old school swedish death, a modern band that is worth checking out from sweden is stabwound :)

[Nefilim Son]

Kaamos rule man! i was in their show in greece-it was first show outside sweden! killer band.

hey, EDGE OF SANITY were among the first bands of this old-swedish death metal scene. "The spectral sorrows" is monumental. try the 2 crimson albums also, especially the first one

anyway what do you think of bloodbath? i think they're getting rich with someone else's music...if you know what i mean...

[kristenfresser]

Yeah great bands!

Uncanny, Merciless, Treblinka, grave, carnage but also other scandinavian bands like Maceration, convulse, disgrace...

[MadTinus]

Seance "Saltrubbed Eyes" album from '93, killerrrr!!!

[soph]

Yeah great bands!

damn, convulse, havent heard that name in a long time
nice

[Azadem]

Sorcery was a old DM band....started 86...got some mp3 if you want

[MadTinus]

Anyone remembers MORDICUS from Finland with their album "Dances From Left"? Good stuff..

And of course GOD MACABRE "The Winterlong".

[Trouble Maker]

damn, convulse, havent heard that name in a long time
nice

fuck, i still think their first album ("World without god" right?) was death metal masterpice, i have it on cassette... around. but then they started to play rock...

anyway, old swedish death... hmmm... Seance, Uncanny, God Macabre, Crematory (swedish!!!), Hetsheads, Carnage... and many, many more

[Rafal]

The new Demonoid sounds good. It's worth listening to, it got my recommendation.

oh, yes, my friend. i do remember. what a masterpiece this album was. and guess where i took my avatar from. :)

back to topic: you have to check out CENTINEX. they have been around for a long time, but still remain quite unnoticed.

on my homepage i have a section about swedish death metal (in german, unfortunately). i have tried to gather names and discographies of important bands and also underground bands. many of them have been mentioned above. but maybe you'll find some interesting names there.

try THIS LINK (http://www.taurelin.com) and click on "schwedendeath".

edit:
i have to mention one band: NIRVANA 2002. they only appear on one sampler (collections of a stained mind, you'll find a songlist on my hp, too). their song "mourning" is excellent, very much in the style of "left hand path" or old dismember songs.

EDIT:
Anyone into old-style Swedish Death should check out CHAOSBREED, a Finnish all-star band, featuring a.o. Taneli Jarva (ex-Sentenced, now The Black League) + Amorphis and Gandalf members. Their album "Brutal" is excellent and has that great old-school atmosphere. www.chaosbreed.net

[soph]

hell yeah, nalle destroys :viking:

[MadTinus]

You know Seance soph?

[the_dying]

There are a lot bands playing old school Swedish Stockholm death metal. Last week I reviewed a demo from a Turkish band. The guys of NETTLETHRONE have an average age of 17 (!!!) years old. Yet their demo can compete with great names in the Swedish style, mixed up with a bit more modern/melodic sounds. Www.nettlethrone.com.

Martijn, seems you're old and deaf! "Brutal" is one of worst album i ever heard... i love tese guys, but Chaosbreed is pure nonsense... weak shit

[MadTinus]

Get TF outta here dude, the sound on that album rules, so dirty and phat! I like this album maybe even better than "Resurrection Through Carnage"! Honestly..

:p

[heartwork]

incapacity are worth a listen as well.. forgive me if they're mentioned above somewhere, i'm lazy today. :)

[MadTinus]

Downloaded some of their stuff a few weeks ago, due to their connection to Edge Of Sanity, but I gotta say I wasn't impressed at all, just average stuff i.m.o..

[heartwork]

really? i enjoy their '9th order extinct' album and also they were quite good live at partysan.

[MadTinus]

Maybe I should give them a second chance, but at first listen it didn't impress me at all. Also I read in Aardschok that their gig @ Party San wasn't too spectacular and that the crowd wasn't very enthusiastic, but I wasn't there of course..

[soph]

You know Seance soph?


always meant to check em out, never got round to it though :depressed any good?

[Trouble Maker]

ohhhhhh... it's FANTASTIC! both albums. it's more american brutal death than swedish ol' death metal a'la Sunlight, but awesome :) GET IT NOW!

[heartwork]

i'm afraid that's true. they played relatively early so most people were just standing around, some watching their show, others not. personally i thought they were one of the most talented of the not-so-popular bands. some songs remind me a lot of edge of sanity so i just can't help appreciating this.

[MadTinus]

always meant to check em out, never got round to it though :depressed any good?Damn good! "Saltrubbed Eyes" kicks so much as! I definitely prefer that album over their first album "Fornever Laid To Rest". This band featured Jensen (now The Haunted).

[Trouble Maker]

yeah, i prefer "Fornever Laid To Rest" too. it has magic atmosphere, samples between songs build wierd, evil climate and music is better than on "Saltrubbed Eyes" i think. 2nd album is more mature if you know what i mean... "Fornever" is like "Left Hand Path" or "Like Ane Everflowing.." - fourious, angry etc.

[MadTinus]

yeah, i prefer "Fornever Laid To Rest" too.What do you mean 'too'? I just said I greatly prefer SE! it has magic atmosphere, samples between songs build wierd, evil climate and music is better than on "Saltrubbed Eyes" i think. 2nd album is more mature if you know what i mean... "Fornever" is like "Left Hand Path" or "Like Ane Everflowing.." - fourious, angry etc.Exactly the reason why I seem to like all those bands' second albums better ("Clandestine", "Indecent & Obscene"). :)

lol! too many IE opened :)
