Morbid was a Swedish thrash metal band from Stockholm that formed in 1986. [2]
Morbid was formed in Stockholm at the end of 1986. [2] With Per "Dead" Ohlin as the group's founder and leader, there was a number of members before the band settled on the line-up of John "John Lennart" Hagström, "TG" on guitars, Jens Näsström on bass and Lars-Göran Petrov on drums. [2] When "TG" left the band, he was replaced by Ulf Cederlund. [2] The band then recorded their debut demo, December Moon , at Thunderload Studios in Stockholm on 5 and 6 December 1987. [3] This was the only recording featuring this line-up, as Hagström quit and Ohlin left for Norway to join the black metal band Mayhem. [4] The remains of the band tried to carry on, and brought in photographer John Scarisbrick as a new vocalist. [4] Scarisbrick lived near a recording studio named Sunlight, which would later gain some notoriety in death metal circles, [4] recording bands like Entombed [5] and Dismember. It was there that the band recorded their last release, [6] a demo titled The Last Supper, in September 1988. [4] The band faded as Petrov and Cederlund started Nihilist, [6] which eventually turned into Entombed. [7] Näsström later continued in the bands Contras and Skull.
Although Morbid only officially released two demos, they gained a certain cult status after their break-up, in part likely to Ohlin's efforts with Mayhem. The demo recordings and various live and rehearsal tracks were later published on vinyl and CD, on official and bootleg releases. After Ohlin left the band to move to Kråkstad, he was replaced by the former singer, John Scarisbrick.

Bathory was a Swedish black metal band formed in Vällingby in March 1983. Named after Hungarian countess Elizabeth Báthory, they are considered pioneers of black metal and Viking metal. The book Lords of Chaos described Bathory's first four albums as "the blueprint for Scandinavian black metal." Acts influenced by their early records include Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, Satyricon, Emperor, Dark Funeral, Enslaved, Immortal, Marduk, Moonsorrow and Dimmu Borgir.
Entombed is a Swedish death metal band formed in 1987 under the name of Nihilist. Entombed began their career as an early pioneer of Scandinavian death metal which initially differed from its American counterpart by its distinct "buzzsaw" guitar tone. However, by the early 1990s their sound had broadened to include garage rock and other influences. This new style would eventually be described as death 'n' roll. Entombed's main influences include bands such as Slayer, Celtic Frost, Repulsion, and Autopsy. Along with Dismember, Grave and Unleashed, Entombed has been referred to as one of the "big four" of Swedish death metal.
Swedish death metal is a death metal music scene developed in Sweden. Many Swedish death metal bands are associated with the melodic death metal movement, thus giving Swedish death metal a different sound from other variations of death metal. Unlike American death metal groups, the first Swedish bands were rooted in hardcore punk. Gothenburg has a large melodic death metal scene while Stockholm is known for its more raw death metal scene.
Clandestine is the second studio album by Swedish death metal band Entombed, released on 12 November 1991 in Europe and on 11 February 1992 in North America. Along with Entombed's preceding album, Clandestine helped establish a distinctively Swedish sound in the death metal genre.
Per Yngve "Pelle" Ohlin, better known by his stage name Dead, was a Swedish musician who was best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist of the Norwegian black metal band Mayhem from 1988 until his death in 1991.

Roadrunner Records ranked him No. 48 out of 50 of The Greatest Metal Front-Men of All Time.
Dissection was a Swedish extreme metal band from Strömstad, formed in 1989 by guitarist, vocalist and main songwriter Jon Nödtveidt and bassist Peter Palmdahl. Despite a number of lineup changes, Dissection released The Somberlain in 1993 and Storm of the Light's Bane in 1995, before splitting up in 1997 due to Nödtveidt's imprisonment for complicity in the murder of Josef Meddour.
Runemagick is a Swedish death/doom band formed in 1990. The band was started by Nicklas "Terror" Rudolfsson under the name Desiderius, which was quickly changed to Runemagic.

They later worked with Converge's Kurt Ballou for their album Live the Storm.

The remaining members reformed the band under the name Entombed. Nihilist never recorded a full-length album before they renamed themselves Entombed, but a collection of their demo work was released in 2005. Guitarist Leif "Leffe" Cuzner died in June 2006.
Morning Star is the seventh studio album by Swedish metal band Entombed, and was released on 13 September 2001. The album is more experimental than previous efforts, and shows the band returning to a more traditional death metal sound overall, though without abandoning elements of death 'n' roll. It also introduces a handful of straightforward, fast-paced death/thrash tracks, a first for the band at the time. The album received a stellar review from AllMusic, ending with the recommendation: "Any fan of quality underground metal should find this to be a superb effort from an underrated band."
Uprising is the sixth full-length album by Swedish metal band Entombed. It was released in 2000. Album was recorded at Das Boot Studios and produced by Nico Elgstrand and Entombed. Musically, this album tones down the commercial alternative metal-stylings of Same Difference and returns to a heavier, more straight-forward death 'n' roll sound reminiscent of Wolverine Blues.
Lars-Göran Petrov, often abbreviated as L-G or LG Petrov, was a Swedish vocalist, best known for his work with death metal band Entombed.
Death 'n' roll is the subgenre of death metal music that incorporates hard rock-inspired elements to the overall sound. The achieved effect is that of death metal's trademark combination of growled vocals and highly distorted detuned guitar riffing with elements reminiscent of 1970s hard rock and heavy metal. Notable examples include Entombed, Gorefest, Carcass, Kaptain Sun, Six Feet Under, Pungent Stench and the Fernando Colunga Ultimate Experience.
Serpent Saints: The Ten Amendments is the ninth album by Swedish death metal band Entombed, released in June 2007. It was their last one before their two-year breakup from 2014 to 2016. It is the first album with bassist Nico Elgstrand and drummer Olle Dahlstedt, as well as the band's first without longtime guitarist Uffe Cederlund. The album marks the final time to feature original vocalist LG Petrov before the band's breakup in 2014 and his death in 2021.
Nirvana 2002 was a Swedish death metal band active between 1988 and 1991. The band was originally called Prophet 2002, but decided to change its name to Nirvana. However, it had to add the "2002" after seeing an advertisement for Nirvana's debut single, "Love Buzz/Big Cheese", released in October 1988. Nirvana 2002 was notable for being part of the first-wave of the Swedish death metal movement, and according to Swedish Death Metal author Daniel Ekeroth, "one of the purest examples of that typical fat Swedish death metal, with crushing guitars and straightforward song structures, even if they don't made tributes to the songs written by Strangedz guitarist Marco Galligani." Throughout its life the band only released demos and rehearsals, the majority of which were recorded at Sunlight Studios in Stockholm.
December Moon is the debut demo tape by Swedish metal band Morbid. The album was recorded at Thunderload Studios in Stockholm on 5 and 6 December 1987. With this demo, Morbid became notorious and had a great impact upon the Swedish death metal scene. December Moon was reissued in 1994 and 2000.
