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.

Nirvana 2002 - Disembodied Spirits (Demo)

1990, Independent

1. Slumber (4:10)
2. Zombiefication (2:42)
3. The Awakening Of... (3:23)

During the boom of Swedish death metal bands in the late 80's/early 90's, Nirvana 2002 was one band that stood out from the crowd. Their guitar tone and influences may have been in line with many of their peers, but Nirvana 2002 had a unique aura about them that unfortunately was only captured on a few demo tapes. This is the best out of their demo material. Although it will soon be available on a compilation thanks to Relapse, it's worth just checking these 3 songs out.
