I’ve kicked off this year with a good old-fashioned death binge. My putrid immersion has taken me around the world so far: first to Chile, then across the Pacific to Australia, and now back across continents to Sweden. Next up is Stockholm-based duo Harrowed. Consisting of dual-threat drummer and vocalist Adam Lindmark (ex-Morbus Chron) and guitarist/bassist Tobias Alpadie (VAK and former live guitarist for Tribulation), the pair linked up through a past project to pay homage to the SweDeath sounds of olde. With only a demo and a split to their name, their debut album, The Eternal Hunger, unleashes Harrowed’s fetid disposition upon the world with a fresh edge, proving these Swedes are more than just HM-2 clones.

But rest easy—no HM-2 pedals were harmed in the making of The Eternal Hunger. Instead, Harrowed delivers enough primitive-drenched filth to satisfy any SweDeath devotee craving the crunch. Alpadie’s serrated tremolos and lacerating riffs cut like rotary blades, while Lindmark’s feverish blasts and tribal tom rolls drench highlights like “Blood Covenant” and “The Cold of A Thousand Snows” in a heavy layer of cavernous abrasion, tearing through the speakers with surgical precision. The Stockholm sound’s hardcore punk DNA is also front and center, as the duo rips through tracks like “Ultra Terrene Phantasmagoria,” “Bayonet,” and “The Reins” with high-octane skank beats and wailing dirges. Lindmark’s vocals are a caustic mix of barbaric regurgitations, adding formaldehyde-infused dressing on Harrowed’s cadaver sandwich. Tied together by a punchy production that preserves the weight of the muddy sound of yore while also maintaining a modern, nimble edge, every disgusting note on The Eternal Hunger lands with maximum impact.

The Eternal Hunger by Harrowed

The Eternal Hunger channels the spirit of ’90s-era Entombed, yet Harrowed also weaponizes influences from far beyond Swedish borders. The duo frequently abandons standard old-school formulas to explore a diverse palette of unbridled savagery. On “Blood Covenant,” Lindmark’s stampeding, guttural-punctuated rhythms and turbulent transitions coalesce with Alpadie’s blazing fretwork, leaning closer to classic thrash than typical SweDeath. Pivoting from there, “Ultra Terrene Phantasmagoria” and “The Cold of A Thousand Snows” embrace a blackened speed identity where icy tremolos, demented double-bass attacks, and progressive ride patterns imbue a sinister edge outside typical HM-2 purism. Harrowed also pulls from the American scene. “The Eternal Hunger” mirrors the swampy, gore-soaked roots of early Autopsy and Death, while the haunting, clean arpeggios driving the title track and “The Haunter” resurrect Slayer’s “Seasons in the Abyss.” Strategic moments of suspense, where the duo strips away the distorted crust in favor of suspenseful intros and bridges, only make the final blows feel more devastating as hammering half-time grooves (“Blood Covenant”) and esoteric patterns (“Formaldehyde Dreaming,” “The Reins”) work well to keep the listener off-balance.

While Harrowed’s varied songwriting is largely airtight, certain songs reveal minor cracks. “The Reins” suffers from a disjointed bridge that briefly stalls the track’s momentum, though Lindmark’s technical drumming and visceral vocal attack do well to anchor the chaos. There are also occasional moments when tracks feel like retreads, suggesting Harrowed may have hit the bottom of their bag of tricks. “Formaldehyde Dreaming,” for instance, relies on a riff set strikingly similar to those found in “Bayonet” and “The Cold of A Thousand Snows,” while the clean intro of “The Eternal Hunger” echoes “The Haunter.” Furthermore, the title track’s brooding build-up fails to deliver a proportional payoff, indicating the track would have benefited from more editing. Despite these slip-ups, however, The Eternal Hunger remains 36 minutes of grime-soaked efficiency that favors memorable songwriting over high-concept filler.

Harrowed successfully pays homage to the Swedish spirit without merely exhuming its grave. By channeling a wide-reaching spectrum of influences and pushing them through a modern SweDeath filter, they’ve created a record that is easy to like and refuses to grow stale. Much of The Eternal Hunger’s success stems from Harrowed’s balanced and varied songwriting, with Lindmark and Alpadie both pulling their weight equally to flex their creative muscle and produce material that sounds both familiar and surprisingly fresh. A debut with this much power is impressive, especially coming from only two people. If this is what the new wave of SweDeath sounds like, I’m on board—and you should be too.

30/30 #Slayer #Metaljourney

There are a lot of opinions about the big 4, but one thing is sure: Slayer were the most consistent of them. They didn't really lash out. Yes, they have a hardcore punk (cover) album but the rest is thrash metal. Sometimes extremely fast (RiB), sometimes slower (SoH), somtimes groovy (Diabolus), sometimes tight (Christ Illusion).
And they don't have any stinkers, just a weaker debut album and one with a botched production.

If I had to choose one thrash band, Slayer would be my choice.

So without further ado, here is my final #Slayer #Metaljourney album ranking*:

*Undisputed Attitude is actually unranked

Repentless gets a lot of criticism esp. from trve fans. It's uninspired, directionless, too slow, ...

Fuck that, I think it's great! 🤘

Update: here is the corrected version of my big 4 album ranking.

Now you can be mad at me, not some algorithm.

With the help of the preverence revealer, science and a merge insertion algorithm I can proudly present my ranking of all studio albums of the big 4 thrash metal: #Slayer #Megadeth #Metallica #Anthrax

Edit: no need for any critisism because I don't even agree with that list. WTF did this algorithm do?

50% done, prepare your pitchforks!

#ThrashMetal #Slayer #Anthrax #Megadeth #Metallica

I am only 1 album away from ranking all albums of the Big 4 and I can already tell you that this might be upsetting for you.

"That's why it's become my obsession
To treat God like an infection"

I have the feeling that Slayer aren't into religion very much.

Which is funny, because Tom Araya is a practicing Catholic. His contributions to the bands lyrics were focused on serial killers and that kind of stuff. The anti religion thing was mainly King and Hanneman.

On 31 December 2007, I listened to an entire Slayer album for the first time.

The album was Christ Illusion and I still remember it like it was yesterday.

It felt like thousands of punches to my face, it was so tight, so intense.
Good times.

The intro to "Jihad" is still occasionally visiting my brain completely out of nowhere.

I'm having an "...And Justice" experience with this album.
Great songs completely ruined by the production. It just makes my ears ring so bad I have no idea why, it's almost painful to listen to.
For that reason I have to rank it last, I'm sorry. I just can't listen to it.

Such a shame, because songs like "Payback" are so good.

🤕 God Hates Us All makes my ears ring it almost hurts. How TF is this mixed? Am I the only one who has this issue?

I like Bloodline though because it's quite different and the video is cool.
