"Prodigal Sun" (1992) contained eleven mind-blowing tracks, ranging from slow-paced death metal monsters to fast, thrash-influenced bulldozers. Produced by Tomas Skogsberg (known from working with such known acts as Therion, At The Gates, Dark Throne, Grave and Entombed) at the legendary Studio Sunlight, the LP managed to gather a handful of inspiring ideas and cloth them in the traditional death metal suit. The material was both inspiring and extremely heavy – the compositions were far from the melodic approach used by most of the Swedish death metal bands at the beginning of the 90's. Each track had a specific psychedelic vibe to it, backed by a complex structure that often revealed some really surprising influences, such as Arabic folk music and heavy blues-rock. Songs such as "Astray", "Tidings From the Blue Sphere" and "The Empty Word" perfectly show the extreme variety of this material. All this forms a truly memorable experience, one of the few found on the early 90's Swedish metal scene…
