In the year 2000, Swedish grindcore masters Nasum released their second album, "Human 2.0". Between their debut and this album, Nasum was at the peak of their game - writing really fucking brutal songs with heavy riffs and high velocity drumming. This is probably their heaviest sounding album, but it's got hints of melody and groove scattered throughout to hook you in. Whether you like classic grindcore like Napalm Death and Terrorizer, or you like Swedish d-beat like Wolfpack and Skitsystem, this record will satisfy your tastes.

Anti-Cimex - Criminal Trap (1986)



1986, Distraught

1. Prelude E-Minor (0:35)
2. Criminal Trap (3:14)

4. Make My Day (1:36)
5. Smell Of Silence (2:24)
6. Pain Killer (4:02)
7. Set Me Free (1:55)

Anti-Cimex were a cornerstone of the Scandinavian punk scene, influencing countless bands within and out of their genre. This was their biggest release at the time, a 12 inch mini-LP entitled "Criminal Trap". The songs here take the basic Discharge style of d-beat punk and make it that much more explosive and intense. Many young Swedish musicians took note of this mLP, whether they were playing death metal or hardcore punk. After Anti-Cimex broke up, some other important Swedish hardcore bands arose from the ashes, namely Wolfpack and Driller Killer.

Mercy - King Doom (1989)



1989, Euro Records

1.Death's Company06:56
2.Tribulation05:36
3.1953 - 198801:12
4.Black Magic05:55
5.Evil Prepares05:30

7.Heartbreak In Hell05:42
8.Sorrows - Darkness06:39

Do you like Candlemass? Sure you do! Maybe you've read about Mercy, Messiah's former band? Regardless if you have or not, Mercy is highly recommended to anyone who is a fan of heavy metal with traditional doom influences. "King Doom" is Mercy's third album - so you won't find any future Candlemass singers here, but you will find some really catchy riffs, soaring vocals, and great use of melody. This record really sums up the 80's doom/heavy metal movement well, check it out if you're a fan of Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, or even if you just dig speed/power metal with great vocals, you won't be disappointed.

At the Gates - The Red In The Sky Is Ours (1991)



1991, Deaf Records

1.The Red in the Sky Is Ours / The Season to Come04:41
2.Kingdom Gone04:40
3.Through Gardens of Grief04:03

5.Windows03:53
6.Claws of Laughter Dead04:03
7.Neverwhere05:41
8.The Scar02:01
9.Night Comes, Blood Black05:16


Incredible death metal record from the early Swedish scene. These guys were radically different from many of their peers in the scene, making use of much more bizarre riffs and compositional approach. This is certainly their most complex offering, and a true classic. Many remember At The Gates for their last record, but this album is not as refined or as slick - it's brutal, ugly, and never tires.

Necrony was a death metal band from Sweden, and featured members who would later form grind legends Nasum. Necrony displays more of the technical playing of these young Swedes, and is comparable to Carcass (Symphonies/Necroticism era) mixed with their peers in Swedish death metal (Carnage, Entombed, etc). Goregrind, technical death metal, and Nasum fans alike are urged to hear this if they haven't yet.
