Title: Entombed are back on the Left Hand Path
Post by: Sworntothecans on March 06, 2025, 01:08:30 AM
"Back in the Studio – After All These Years! We started working on new material at Nicke's studio — digging into the riffs, tones, and everything in between. Even dusted off the Peavey Studio Pro 40, the same amp used on 'Left Hand Path', to see if it still had some magic left in it.

"Things are coming together, and we can't wait to share more with you all as soon as possible. Stay tuned!"

Looking forward to this with Nicke back with the lads. And hopefully he's doing vocals.

Not to rain on anyone's parade but do we need another bunch of lads in their 50s trying to recapture the magic of an album they wrote when they were teenagers. Happy to be wrong all the same.

His vocals on Clandestine were crap. The dream would be to get yer man from Nirvana 2002 back but apparently he's a TV presenter in Sweden now, so probably not a contender.

Yeah I like the vocals on Clandestine. I'm by no means a big Entombed fan and I think the Nihilist demos are better/ filthier, but I will be curious to see if they can muster up something relevant.

I like the clandestine vocals too and I reckon they add to the charm of the album but I don't think I'd want to hear them on another album.

With Nicke doing Hellacoptors/Lucifer I wouldn't think it'll be a full time thing.

Plus Death Breath definitely showed he's got it in him to write death metal.

Yeah dunno about this. Love Entombed but as someone said, lads in their 50's and past glories and all. A live show - great but no hope for a record I think.

I only managed to catch them once at a festival,  and as a support for I think Amon Amarth in The Academy? Would love to see them properly

I only saw them the once, around '96/'97 I think - the tour with Neurosis, they played the Temple Bar Music Centre. They were great, even if a lot of the 'current' material wasn't too popular. The place went nuts for Left Hand Path, the last time I went moshing, I think.  :laugh:

LG and Alex were chatting out the front after, they seemed to have enjoyed it anyway.

Reckon Maryland Death fest/Decibel Beer & Metal if they play the States. Damnation this side of the pond.

They played twice in the late 90s as I recall, and I went to both gigs. The one you mentioned was my introduction to Neurosis... wow! Entombed were fun but just couldn't compare. Voivod opened that gig I think?

Who played with them the next time? Medulla Nocte? Breach?

Breach opened that gig, Voivod supported Neurosis on the TOG tour, Today Is The Day opened that one.

That was my introduction to Neurosis too (bar a Discharge cover I'd heard on a compilation), blew me away. The visuals were great too, really added to their impact.

Breach were really good too. The album, Venom, is savage.

Breach are the best - privileged to see them open for Neurosis/Entombed.

I delved into the whole catalogue - not a dud in there.

Yeah, really enjoyed them. I thought they'd reformed a few years ago but it turns out it was a one-off.

Surely there'd be decent money in a package tour of these lads and Dismember, Unleashed and whoever else from the Swedish old guard lashing out the classics
Title: Re: Entombed are back on the Left Hand Path

I don't think Dismember are touring since the reformation just seems to be festival appearances then one off shows in the likes of New York.

That Neurosis set was fucking terrifying. And incredible. First time I saw them. Don't think I even watched Entombed bar when they played Left Hand Path.

I'm almost certain someone told me they had rerecorded a few old tunes for their own reference when they got the Morbus Chron boys in a few years back, but maybe I have that wrong. It definitely wasn't supposed to public knowledge anyway, but who knows , maybe that might see the light of day?

Given how influential they are at this stage, and the amount of money that new Entombed anything might generate, I'm not surprised. Inevitable reunion tour with Gatecreeper or  some other big metal core band I imagine.
