Background information about 'To Ride, Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth'

When Swedish death metal legends Entombed unleashed "To Ride, Shoot Straight And Speak The Truth" in 1997, they delivered what many consider their most diverse and emotionally charged statement. This album finds the band at a creative crossroads, blending their signature buzzsaw guitar tone with unexpected melodic territories and introspective lyricism that cuts deeper than any chainsaw riff. The opening title track immediately establishes the album's raw honesty – it's Entombed stripped of pretense, speaking their truth with the kind of authenticity that separates legends from mere mortals.

What makes this record truly special is how tracks like "Like This With The Devil" and "Lights Out" showcase the band's ability to craft memorable hooks without sacrificing their crushing heaviness. The album's emotional core reveals itself in songs like "Wound" and "Just As Sad", where vulnerability meets aggression in ways that few death metal bands dare attempt. Meanwhile, "DCLXVI" and "Uffe's Horrorshow" remind us that Entombed never lost their taste for the macabre. This isn't just another death metal album – it's a band's unflinching examination of life, death, and everything in between, wrapped in some of the most compelling songwriting of their career.
