Band history
Entombed's debut album was Left Hand Path (album)|Left Hand Path , a cult favorite that established the band as a popular Swedish death metal band.Daniel Ekeroth, Swedish Death Metal, 2006. Left Hand Path and its follow-up, Clandestine (album)|Clandestine , were unique in that they featured what was sometimes referred to as a "buzz saw" guitar sound.Daniel Ekeroth, Swedish Death Metal, 2006.
With the release of Wolverine Blues , Entombed changed their sound into a mix of hard rock and death metal , often referred to as death 'n' roll .Bowar, Chad. http://heavymetal.about.com/b/2011/08/05/retro-recommendation-entombed-wolverine-blues.htm "Retro Recommendation: Entombed - Wolverine Blues ". About.com . Access date: January 3, 2012. Although this may have turned off many fans, it established their mainstream and critical reputation.Birchmeier, Jason. http://www.allmusic.com/album/wolverine-blues-r199753/review "Wolverine Blues - Entombed". Allmusic . Access date: January 3, 2012. Wolverine Blues is considered a classic of early 1990s death metal.
1998's Same Difference (album)|Same Difference was the band's first album without drummer and founding member Nicke Andersson , who left the band to concentrate on The Hellacopters .Birchmeier, Jason. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/entombed-p12881/biography "Entombed".

The full-length Serpent Saints - The Ten Amendments followed on July 9, 2007.
