Shadows in the Deep is the second album by the Swedish death metal band Unleashed. It was released in 1992 by Century Media Records.

Contents

The album was dedicated to Swedish black metal singer Per "Dead" Yngve Ohlin who had committed suicide a year prior. [3]

Music

The album's music has been described as "muscular" and "intense". [4]

Reception and legacy

Jason Anderson of AllMusic gave the album three stars out of five. He said: "Only a subtle improvement upon their first release, some might consider this a relatively constrained effort, but no fans of Unleashed -- or their European death metal genre -- should be disappointed with Shadows in the Deep." [5]

Nirvana unofficially recorded a brief cover of the song "Onward Into Countless Battles", labeled "Meat". [6]
