MyFriends: Bastard Priest, Blood Mortized, Graveless, Vanhelgd, Zombiekrig

Swedish metal edition.

Bastard Priest

SOUNDS LIKE: Absolute filth. This is old-school to the core.
HIGHLIGHT: All tracks

Blood Mortized

SOUNDS LIKE: I know I just mentioned these guys the other day, but these dudes conjure up the Sunlight Sound like no one else with just enough melodicism to keep things interesting.
HIGHLIGHT: Suicide escape plan, Wishing hell

Graveless

SOUNDS LIKE: Easily the most promising up-and-coming Swedish death metal act, in my esteemed opinion. I never would've guessed that I'd be buying new demo tapes in 2009.
HIGHLIGHTS: All tracks

Vanhelgd

SOUNDS LIKE: More primitive old-school destruction. Crusty and crushing.
HIGHLIGHTS: Necropolis, Avlad i synd

Zombiekrig

SOUNDS LIKE: More thrash than death, but don't let that put you off -- this is still raw and punishing stuff. Bonus points for singing in Swedish and having an awesome name.
HIGHLIGHTS: All tracks
