My love for all that is Entombed still holds strong to this day. I first witnessed them live seventeen years ago at the Town Pump (R.I.P.) in Vancouver. They were touring the US and Canada in support of their Wolverine Blues album. It was my first death metal show ever, and I was hooked for life.

I started getting into death metal pretty hard around the early 90′s, but had not heard anything like what these Swedish lads were dishing out. The sound was death metal, but it was so much more. Entombed had actual songs, with lots of groove, and not just blast beats for the sake of em’. My favorite Entombed album is still to this day Left Hand Path. It holds up twenty years later, and can give the new bands coming out a lesson on how to do it right. Left Hand Path is probably one of the best album on the whole Earache catalogue.

L-G Petrov and the boys have not done too much touring the last few years in the US, but they are at the tail end of an eight date East Coast tour. Here are the dates remaining:

June 4th Detroit, Michigan Blondie’s

June 5th Chicago, Illinois Reggie Rock Club

June 6th Milwaukee, Wisconsin Rave
