Mordbrand

Mordbrand is a Swedish death metal force that’s been blasting out old-school carnage since their formation in 2009. Hailing from Sala, this trio (Per Boder on vocals/guitar, Björn Larsson on guitar, and Henrik Höckert on bass) worships the raw, grimy sound of early ‘90s Swedish death metal, channeling legends like Entombed and Dismember with a modern yet unpolished edge. Their music is a bulldozer of buzzsaw riffs, guttural growls, and relentless drumming, sticking fiercely to the genre’s rotten roots while keeping things fresh.

Over the years, Mordbrand has unleashed a slew of demos, splits, EPs, and full-lengths, including recent rippers like *Döden / Efter Döden* (2022) and *Wilt* (2020), all dripping with that signature HM-2 pedal filth. They’ve built a cult following by prioritizing authenticity over trends, whether on splits with bands like Bombs of Hades or through labels like Carnal Records and Dark Descent Records. If you’re into putrid, no-frills death metal that smells like a Stockholm basement in 1991, Mordbrand’s your soundtrack.
