Entombed

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, their sound had evolved by the early-to-mid-1990s and the band began to explore influences of progressive, punk, hard rock, garage rock, and groove metal. Those influences helped shape the sound of death 'n' roll. Along with Dismember, Grave and Unleashed, Entombed has been referred to as one of the "big four" of Swedish death metal.
