Entombed emerged from the depths of the Swedish death metal scene, stamping their authoritative growl onto the genre's map in the early 1990s. Initially formed as Nihilist in 1987, the band morphed into Entombed in 1989, solidifying a lineup that would come to define a new sub-genre known as Swedish death metal. Albums like "Left Hand Path" and "Clandestine" not only fortified their brutal credentials but also innovated with the buzzsaw guitar tone, a hallmark of the Stockholm sound.

Over the years, Entombed evolved beyond the strict confines of death metal, incorporating elements of punk, groove, and classic rock, all while maintaining a relentless, ferocious energy. Their album "Wolverine Blues" is widely acknowledged as a foundational piece of the death 'n' roll subgenre, which infused death metal with rock and roll swagger. As they navigated through the decades, releases like 2001's "Morning Star" and 2003's "Inferno" continued to showcase their ability to marry aggression with catchy riffs. Entombed's live performances, captured in releases like "Monkey Puss (Live in London)" and "Clandestine - Live", have perpetually demonstrated their formidable presence on stage, ingraining their legacy within the annals of extreme music. Despite the passing of original vocalist L-G Petrov in 2021, the band's influence reverberates, with their earlier works continuing to ignite the passion of death metal enthusiasts worldwide.
