Background information about 'Grip Of Ancient Evil'

Swedish death metal veterans Entrails return with their eighth full-length offering, "Grip of Ancient Evil", and it's an absolute crusher that brings back all the gritty, unpolished glory of 90s Scandinavian death metal. This isn't about following trends or adding unnecessary polish - it's pure, unadulterated old school death metal at its finest. The band digs deep into their signature HM-2 buzzsaw guitar tone, delivering bludgeoning rhythms and horror-drenched lyrics that'll make your skin crawl in the best possible way. Following their critically acclaimed previous effort "An Eternal Time of Decay", the band has somehow managed to get even darker and more savage.

Tracks like "Wings of Death", "Untreatable Decay" and "Skin 'em All" hit with absolutely relentless force, creating that perfect storm of crushing riffs and apocalyptic atmosphere. The album features some killer guest appearances too - Per "Hellbutcher" Gustavsson from Friends of Hell and Nifelheim lends his vocals to "Inner Demon", while Matte Klang provides an acoustic section on "Consumed by Insects" and Thomas von Wachenfeldt adds haunting violins to the title track intro. It's the sound of ancient evil rising from the grave, and Entrails continue to wave that Swedish death metal flag with absolute conviction.
