Bloodbath

A death metal supergroup founded by members of such legendary Swedish bands as Opeth, Katatonia, and Edge of Sanity, Bloodbath deliver old-school Scandinavian death metal in the vein of early Entombed with a bit of Floridian U.S. death metal (Morbid Angel, Obituary) tossed in for good measure. Taking their name from the song "Blood Bath" by British thrash legends Cancer, the group debuted in 1999 with a three-song EP, followed by the full-length Resurrection Through Carnage in 2002. Despite maintaining busy schedules with their other respective bands, Bloodbath established a rabid fan base that would sustain them well into the next two decades, yielding sporadic blasts of audio savagery like The Fathomless Mastery (2008) and The Arrow of Satan Is Drawn (2018).
