Oh man, this is killer!  Here we have something totally unexpected from a band that is known as the pioneers of the Swedish death metal genre, who in the process of creating this album have come up with a sub-genre all their own.  Entombed began as Nihilist before the name change came eleven years ago.  Their latest release “Uprising” doesn’t sound like any kind of Death Metal from any Nordic Country I’ve heard before; neither does it sound like any of the American Death Metal counterparts I’ve heard, like Deicide for example.  Uprising is the bands eighth release in their eleven years as Entombed and it is by far the best written, hardest, loudest, fastest and most aggression inducing album of the batch.

Entombed is known for a brand of Death Metal that mixes as many parts punk rock as it does classic rock to create something that separates itself from the pack in a way that if you put this on the stereo and listened to it, guaranteed you wouldn’t call it Death Metal, nor could you make any accurate comparisons to any other Death Metal band around.  The band’s bio likes to downplay the grandiose claims of how killer the record is because they hired some big time producer for a shitload of money to make sure they got the sound they wanted.  More accurately, the band opted to go into the studio with Nico Elgstrand because all they wanted was somebody who was cool enough to just do his job and make a killer record.  No pretentious bullshit from a producer who would have detracted from the bands ideas would be allowed.  And without the big time producer they still come out with an incredibly powerful guitar-driven album that’s loaded with some of the most staggering riffs heard on any record lately.

The opening track “Seeing Red” starts off with a killer pull-off type of guitar riff that sounds like it’s a few notes short, and a creatively re-arranged version of the opening riff to Deep Purples “Burn.”  Guitarist Uffe Cederlund claims he mixed a few riffs from an AC/DC song, and a song from an English punk band called The Stupids to come up with the opening riff to “Seeing Red.”  The song is driven by a very Motorhead sounding bass in the midsection where the guitars drop out to make way for L-G Petrov’s bold and direct lyrics that ask the listeners to question themselves of their truly violent nature. “Say It in Slugs” is a take on the humor of the bands inner circle.  Instead of talking or arguing about something pointlessly, the band makes a clear statement that they’d much rather whip out the Uzi’s and put each other out of their misery.  It hasn’t happened in at least eleven years though, and in hopes of more killer music from Entombed I hope it doesn’t happen any time soon.

Posted by Goth Brooks:
the hardest, loudest, fastest and most aggression inducing of the batch of CD's by various artist that landed in my lap for me to review at that particular time dummy. Get off my back and go suck on a doorknob or something you f_cken dork.


Posted by Dave:
You people are the smartest people I have ever met. What an utter joke....


Posted by God on the Throne:
Goth, you said this in your review: "it is by far the best written, hardest, loudest, fastest and most aggression inducing album of the batch." And then you said this: "I had only heard Wolverine Blues before this CD landed in my pile to review." That means you are a lame journalist. As for the rest of you, news flash: accusing people of homosexuality is a sure-fire indication of repressed homosexual desires. I thought everybody knew that. So next time you're whacking it to a porno movie, maybe you won't have such an easy time convincing yourself that you're not looking at the guys.


Posted by Entombed Fan:
ENTOMBED ROCKS! ENTOMBED KNÄCKER! YEAH! BRA! GÅ ENTOMBED!


Posted by the pain:
dave knows what he's saying. Entombed only made a few good cd's at the start of their career. But Entombed are still legends for those few cd's...



Posted by Norweigan church burning homo:
I love Dave! Heeth tho sthmart! come on over here and get a little of your brown butter on my pink torpedo baby!


Posted by Dave:
Peon, eh? Ok, yeah. This is coming from a guy who resorted to making a "dick joke" when his dull wit failed him. It's good that you're not in it for the credibility. You obviously don't have the foggiest idea of what you're talking about. Hey "One eyed Moses" - "trite" as in "derivative", "repetative", "redundant", just as your inane comments are. Although I guess I really shouldn't be surprised. Judging from the other cd's reviewed here, it's evident this website doesn't cater to the most intelligent contingent of modern society. This is displayed in your "Fan Speak" section, as well. Is MTV clueless or cool? If you jokers haven't figured out that MTV is completely retarded by now, you never will.


Posted by One eyed Moses:
trite seems like a word that would be used frequently by the same kind of effeminate man who would shreik something like "Heavens no!" when tragedy strikes. Or a Brit Pop wanna-be Death Metal faggot.


Posted by GOTH BROOKS:
I was never in it for the credibility. I'm only in it to amuse myself with the comments my writings warrant from peons like you Dave.


Posted by Dave:
Holy hell, you guys are stupid! Christ, Goth Brooks, you've just destroyed your credibility. And the rest of you are just indescribably inferior and inadequate. You clearly lack the ability to present a valid argument/retort. DF666, do you even know the definition of the word trite? My, my. I've really gotten under all of your skin, haven't I? Wankers.....and what's with all the homosexual references folks? What could it mean?


Posted by CAPTAIN ASSHAMMER:
I LOVE YOU DAVE!


Posted by Daves gym teacher:
Dave has been suspended from gym class once again because he can't keep his hands and mouth of the penis's of the freshmen in the school locker room.


Posted by BABE-O:
I'm getting a strong vibe that Dave likes his fudge packed.


Posted by GOTH BROOKS:
My musical history is just alot more than Death Metal, or feeling the compulsive need to know any bands complete discography...LAME!


Posted by Daves Uncle Ernie:
Little Davie has a little wee wee and a big fat mushy butt.


Posted by MF666:
Did dave just use the word trite? Oh my god! A Death Metal fudgepacker! Or are you a Death Metal packee?


Posted by Roz:
You're pretty tough on your keyboard Dave.


Posted by Dave:
Hey Goth Brooks - How small is my dick? Haha. Such wit. Such charisma. LAME. Allow me to apologize; I didn't realize you had such a limited knowledge of Entombed's discography. And hey, Tex m--ther f--kin Mex, criticism like mine is exactly what a webpage needs sometimes. A hardworking death metal band like Entombed? They haven't been death metal since 1992. Both of you need to grow the hell up and quit whining, because this review and it's retorts - dick remarks even! You guys act like embittered children backed into a corner, and clearly my remarks about Entombed's trite brand of slop have crept under you skin! Thank you very much, and ROT.


Posted by GOTH BROOKS:
Well quite frankly Dave I never have heard Left Hand Path or Clandestine to answer your question. I had only heard Wolverine Blues before this CD landed in my pile to review. Some of us have different interpretations as to what qualifies something as being harder or heavier than whatever it's being compared to. In closing I'd like to compliment you on your daft yet totally insipid comments, and lastly I have a question for you. Just how small is your dick?


Posted by TEX M*THER F*CKIN MEX !!!:
Dave, Where do you get off playing critic to the writer and a hardworking, dues paying, veteran death metal band like Entombed? This band has forgotten more career accomplishments than you'll probably ever achieve in your sorry life. Do you lash out in anger randomly to compensate for your small dick, and to feel like more of a man? Sorry to baffle you with honest logic but that's the way you portray yourself here. 


Posted by Dave:
This review is badly humorous. The hardest cd in the batch? Ha! Ever heard Left Hand Path, or Clandestine? Give me a break. Entombed shouldn't even exist anymore, as they haven't been a relevant band for almost a decade. And to call them death metal is an insult to all fans of REAL death metal. This is groovy psuedo rock garbage, NOT death metal.


Posted by DARKKKSTAR:
Entombed smokes over all the my a-d-i-d-a-s poseur rap-korn bands with multi-million dollar record deals. This is one of the only remaining bands who play true metal anymore. ENTOMBED RULES!
