Background information about 'Wolverine Blues'

When Entombed unleashed "Wolverine Blues" in 1993, they didn't just release another death metal album - they essentially rewrote the rulebook for an entire genre. This groundbreaking record saw the Swedish legends boldly stepping away from the pure brutality of their earlier works like "Left Hand Path" and "Clandestine", instead crafting something entirely new: the death 'n' roll sound that would influence countless bands for decades to come. The album perfectly balances crushing heaviness with an undeniable rock swagger, creating tracks like the title track "Wolverine Blues" and "Eyemaster" that hit like sledgehammers while maintaining an infectious groove that gets your head banging.

What makes this album truly special is how Entombed managed to maintain their death metal credentials while incorporating bluesy riffs and rock sensibilities that shouldn't work but absolutely do. Songs like "Rotten Soil" and "Full of Hell" showcase the band's ability to write memorable hooks without sacrificing an ounce of their trademark Swedish chainsaw guitar tone. The production is perfectly balanced, allowing every element to shine through - from L.G. Petrov's distinctive growls to the thunderous rhythm section that drives each track forward with relentless momentum.

Dismember, Grave, Bloodbath, and The Hellacopters
