#ThrallsofMetal #AlbumsRanked #Entombed #Review Necrotic Nick, Shredlord, Rin and Jammin' Jon go through and rank all the studio albums from both Entombed and Entombed A.D.! Patreon: / thrallsofmetal
I saw Entombed live in 1992 while stationed in Germany serving in the U.S. Army. I was 18. I went alone. It was a frightening and exciting experience for an 18 year old far from Flint, Michigan.
OP, my list mirrors your own. Left Hand Path is famous for many reasons. Clandestine has some bangers and is a worthy followup. Wolverine Blues has grown on me over the years, and that is why it is #3. The HM2 sound is still present on WB, but they mixed it up and I like that. The rest is...........okay, but I haven't listened to nearly enough of their later stuff to make a ranking on that.
Ok this is my new favourite channel. I miss being young and shooting the shit with friends about music. I know you guys are not young but it's nice to see freinds stay connected through music. All my freinds got married, had kids or got bored with it. Rin makes me laugh, comedic twitcher. Reminds me of Professor Frink 🤪
True Story: I had the regular version of Wolverine Blues on Cd when I saw a used copy of the Marvel version at a store. I was really into limited editions of CDs so I traded in my regular version and bought the Marvel version with the Wolverine comic book inside. I went home started playing it, noticed that the part "Jesus, Hitler, Satan, bought my soul" was completely removed from the song Hollowman, in an obvious edit, and the song Out of Hand was removed and I think replaced with Put Off the Scent from the Hollowman ep. I guess Marvel objected to some of the lyrics for the album. Anyways I took the fucking thing right back to the record store, gave it back to them and got my regular edition back. Fuck the marvel edition.
Interesting. I had a Wolverine comic book that had an ad for Wolverine Blues on the back cover. Wish I still had it. I wonder if it was the same comic that you're talking about? I bought the comic book on it's own from a convenience store so It's probably different. Marvel objecting to the lyrics is lame. I would've done the same thing you did.
@@Gregbaltzer Cool. Thanks. That answers my question. They were different. The one I had was just a normal Wolverine comic book with a Wolverine Blues ad on the back.
i have the Marvel version but it has only 9 tracks; Out of Hand is removed and "Put Off the Scent" wasn't put in its place. Differences of the Marvel version: 1. Eyemaster: 'Hellraiser III' movie sample "I am the way" NOT removed at 0:10 second mark. 2. Rotten Soil: 'Flatliners' movie sample "Wake up you little shit, you got company!" removed at 3:00 minute mark. 8. Hollowman: the line "jesus, satan, hitler - bought my soul" removed at 3:06 minute mark and also removed from the CD lyrics insert. 10. Out of Hand was removed from this version. Various swear words are also removed. (source: metal-archives.com)
@@nootron9 You gave that CD a lot more spins than I did. lol. I took it back almost immediately. It was so many years ago, I couldn't quite member if Out of Hand(one of my favorites on the album) was replaced or not. I just remember it being removed. But basically still.....FUCK THAT VERSION!
01- Left Hand path 02- Back To The Front 03- Wolverine Blues 04- Clandestine 05- Bowels Of The Earth 06- Dead Dawn 07- Uprising 08- Morning Star 09- DCLVI 10- Serpent Saints 11- Inferno 12- Same Difference
I had the honor to play a few support shows for them on one of their European tour two or three years ago. Killer band and L.G. was such an humble and nice guy on and off stage. My fab 3s: 1. Wolverine 2. Left Hand 3. Uprising
Necrotic Nick- LG seemed like such a cool guy on stage. You could tell he was having a lot of fun and legit loved his fans. He'll go down as one of my favorite frontmen in death metal and metal in general ever.
I saw Entombed in 1994 at a concert in Warsaw/Poland. They played with Napalm Death and they were supported by Vader and Sparagmos. Strong Eareche Rec. I already knew them well and their first albums and that's why I wanted to see them live. They promoted "Wolverine Blues". It was something different from what they presented earlier but the guitars crushed with their heavy sound. OG's of Swedish Death Metal. 🤘
12- Serpent Saints 11- Bowels Of The Earth 10- Back To The Front 09- Inferno 08- Dead Dawn 07- Same Difference 06- DCLVI 05- Left Hand path 04- Uprising 03- Morning Star 02- Clandestine 01- Wolverine Blues
@@thrallsofmetal Hey... still a great album. But in my book it's easily eclipsed by Clandestine when it comes to their early strict DM stuff. To be honest all top 5 records in my list are great albums as far as I'm concerned. And besides Serpent Saints, Back To The Front, Bowels Of The Earth and Inferno (that I think are utterly boring and uninspired) I think the other 3 albums also have stellar moments (yes, even Same Difference). As for Left Hand Path itself I must confess I saw it even lower in some lists and although I don't agree with either them or you it's 100% fine. After all it's all a matter personal taste.
Entombed rules. Wolverine Blues and Clandestine are my favorites. Rest In Peace LG Petrov you will forever be missed, your contributions to Death Metal will never be forgotten.
Necrotic Nick- For me, Left Hand Path was always out in front with Clandestine not far behind. LG will go down as one of my favorite death metal frontmen ever. I'm glad I got to see him at least once.
Great ranking fellas! As someone who just never got around to listening to Entombed, I found the background into the band you guys provided to be really helpful for me. I'm going to start jamming their stuff today.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! It's a fun band to do a deep dive on just for the interesting twists and turns in their discography. There are a couple of turds but most of it is pretty killer.
It was fun meeting you nick! Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you and the guys!! ( I was the guy that was at the food truck when you guys were there after the show)
Necrotic Nick- Hey, man! It was pleasuring meeting you as well. Sorry I didn't have more time to talk but If you're at MDF this year feel free to come by and chat again. Take care, man!
Loved this video. The only album I bought of theirs was "To Ride, Shoot Straight and Tell the Truth" and I pretty much gave up on them right away. Only heard the first three albums a month ago and fucking loved them. Based on your ranking, I will definitely check out a few more of their later albums. Cheers lads 🤘
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! To Ride might not be the best starting point but I'm glad you went back because this band has some flat out amazing albums in their discography. Cheers, bro!
ENTOMBED 1. Clandestine 2. To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth 3. Left Hand Path 4. Uprising 5. Wolverine Blues 6. Morning Star 7. Serpent Saints 8. Same Difference 9. Inferno ENTOMBED A.D. 1. Bowels of Earth 2. Dead Dawn 3. Back to the Front
Fun fact: the first Thralls video that I stumbled upon was Entombed A.D. Bowels of Earth review. Also when I walk my dog, he's always to my left side so I can honestly say "My dog walks the Left Hand Path." Thanks for all the great content. I have been absolutely slammed at work the past few weeks but I try to keep up when I can.
Necrotic Nick- Dude, I remembered being so giddy to do that review because I fucking love Entombed. Your dog walks the true path of a metalhead, bro! Thanks for watching, bro!
I had a similar experience like Johnny had with Nihilist where my old band broke up then reformed without me under another name. But in my bands situation they ended up suffering lineup changes that quickly broke up the band for good. My brother did a no show and they were forced to play live without a bassist. Then the drummer left right after and then it was just 2 left and they tried starting another band together but it just didn't work out. RIP to original Nihilist member Leif Cusner. He was pretty much the creator of the buzzsaw guitar sound. Also RIP to LG Petrov. Dismember would be a good ranking. I hope they release another album. One of my favorite bands.
Necrotic Nick- Damn, that's a pretty unlucky run of events. I think I overlooked the stuff about Leif unfortunately. I'd love to do Dismember in the future but I'm kinda curious if their reunion is going to come with a new album. Maybe they'll announce something at Maryland Deathfest this year.
THAT'S THE WAY TO START A NEW YEAR!!!! 2022 already on fire!!!!!!!!!! Can't Wait!!!!!! Despite popular opinion, Ive always considered 'Clandestine' the better album over 'Left Hand Path', better production, and matured songwriting from start to finish!
Hey team, that was great! Next up 'dismember? They've had the same crazy highs & lows but ' like an ever flowing stream' is on par with ' left hand path' later on their track 'casket garden' is awesome!
Necrotic Nick- Actually the next ones up are Carcass, Exodus, Mastodon, Pantera and Crowbar but I definitely want to do Dismember eventually. I'm holding off a bit on them just because now that they're back together I'm curious if they decide to record something new.
Entombed, Death, Bolt Thrower and Obituary were my first death metal expiriences. Eventually bought every Entombed album up until the early 2000s. Moved far away and left all my cds behind. They were unlike any other metal band. A sound all their own. The one i eventually jammed the most was the blue album, with skull on front, 1997 self titled. Compilation of early stuff and a couple covers...Clandestine is my #1. Cheers to you all 🤘
Bolt thrower was the band that really got me into Death metal. Had listened to Cannibal and liked them, but Bolt Throwers 4th crusade and For Victory showed me what DM could really be.
Good list boys. I gave up on Entombed when Shoot Straight came out...have to check out a few later releases. Looking foward to Exodus and Carcass rankings. Carcass rankings may be drastically different depending on what style you perfer. A few out of the box suggestions for future rankings shows. Primus, Helmet, D.R.I., C.O.C., Sick of it All, Snapcase,
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I started with Wolverine Blues and then found Left Hand Path. Both of them had a big impact on me so I hunted down all their stuff (even Same Difference sadly). I'm looking forward to all of our picks honestly and I think Carcass and Exodus will be a lot of fun especially. Lots of different possibilities with both of those. I'd like to do some heavy bands that might be more on the cusp of metal like Helmet, Faith No More, Primus etc. so those are possibilities in the future.
Entombed rules! The first 3 for me. Left Hand path is a stone cold classic, a genre defining album. I also really enjoy the Entombed AD material. Shame there won't be a 4th album. R.I.P. LG Petrov
Necrotic Nick- Pretty much legends in my book. Left Hand Path is the bible that the Stockholm sound was built on but I still really enjoy a lot of their later material and the Entombed AD was really underrated. LG will be missed indeed. RIP
Left Hand Path is one of the most important albums of all time, not just in terms of the metal community but also on a personal level, because it helps me remember the date of my wedding anniversary since it was released on the same day. (Jk I'm not that terrible of a husband)
I've always loved ENTOMBED and most their albums. I know Wolverine Blues was a crazy turn from them but I've always loved the album. And I fully agree with you all about Morning Star what a fuckin awesome! Metal Album so underrated by many people. Like Jammin Jon said which I agree it's kinda like a Slayer album with the thrash Metal vibe. And I've actually been jamming with Morning Star all this week in my trunk. Oh and I really like the Dead Dawn album also I hope they continue in this direction in the future. Great video guys🙂🤘
Necrotic Nick- That's one of my favorite things about Entombed's discography: it's kinda all over the place but mostly in a good way. Morning Star is a definitely underrated. I think people just overlook it along with Uprising but hopefully people that watch this video give both a chance. I don't think Entombed AD will continue without LG but I could be wrong and I'd be willing to check out future output for sure. Thanks gain for watching, bro!
I was looking forward to this video and I really enjoyed seeing everyone's rankings. I'm a big fan of Entombed and I got into them at the turn of the century with Uprising which is my favourite Entombed album so I was happy to see Nick speak of it highly. For me my top 5 albums 1.Uprising 2.Left hand path 3.Wolverine Blues 4.Clandestine 5. Morning Star
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Uprising was my darkhorse in this one. I almost had it at #2 but I still think Clandestine is a bit better.
As I mentioned in my ranking, I got about 40 seconds into about three tracks from Same Difference, and I said NOOOOOPE. That being said we definitely had some similarities. Atleast RIN agreed with me on To Ride Shoot Straight and really I can agree with the rest of yas on it. Those later records with Uprising and on to the AD stuff was good, but the production bugged me and I don’t know why. Didn’t stick out. Great video and great job ranking this boys!!!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Same Difference was a flat out fucking mistake. I'm glad the reaction the band had was "lets just write a dirty, raw, mean bastard of an album" because Uprising is a beast. I thing the muddier production really works well on that one. Kinda missed the mark on Inferno though.
I saw entombed live in 92. I was standing at the side of the stage . They came out , hit hard , and uffe stumbled . I put my arms up to stop him , and helped him stand back up. He never missed a note !! They invited me backstage, and autographed my “ crawl “ cassette . Cool guys !!
aahhh the segment that i,m waiting for .tq for the ranking although i only familiar with their 3 early albums only.Can't wait for carcass and exodus rank stuff,left hand path rules!!!!!!!
Necrotic Nick- This is a fun discography to dive into. I think the Entombed AD stuff is pretty overlooked too. We're looking forward to doing Carcass next for sure.
Loved this Ranking!!!! Hahaha. Peter Stjärnvind is my man! He followed in Nicke's path, forming the band Black Trip, which is a better version of The Hellacoptors! And I will always absolutely and unquestioningly love Ulf Cederlund just because he has been a part of Disfear and my maybe my favorite album of all time, Live The Storm. That said, I don't come within 20 feet of Same Difference, lol.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I still need to get more stuff from Black Trip and VOJd as well. It think Hellacopters is more focused on 70's classic rock versus Black Trip/ VOJD being more classic heavy metal but they both rule in my book. I'm looking forward to some new Disfear for sure. Live the Storm is one of the the best d-beat/ crust albums ever. I dreaded having to listen to Same Difference again but I suffered through it... again. lol
My friend had a copy via tape trading of the Nihilist "Only Shreds Remain" demo, so my anticipation for "Left Hand Path" when it came out was skyhigh and to say it live up to my expectations would be an understatement. I have not listened to anything post Wolverine Blues in a LONG time, but I liked To Ride.... quite a bit when it came out, gonna give it a listen soon based on this video to find out if I will still have the same opinion.
Necrotic Nick- I remember seeing the video for Wolverine Blues on Beavis and Butthead and just digging the hell out of that song but years later when I snagged Left Hand Path my jaw hit the floor with how badass that album was. It's worth going back through just to check out Uprising and Morning Star especially. Those albums have aged really well.
Not ranking this on what I thinks their best, because I like all of them, just ranking them on how much time I put into listening to each one. #1 Wolverine Blues(it was my first Entombed Album) #2Left Hand Path #3Clandenstine #4 Uprising #5 Inferno #6 Same Difference #7 Serpents Saints #8 Ride, Shoot Straight, And Speak the Truth, Morning Star. I have all the Entombed A.D. albums too, just not sure where I'd rate them. I'm pretty equal on all of them.
Necrotic Nick- Wolverine Blues was my first one as well and I spent a lot of time with that one. It fit right in with all the stuff I was jamming at the time. I didn't get Left Hand Path until much later but when I heard that snarling tone I was in love.
Left Hand Path and Clandestine are Entombed's best albums imo. I had a Wolverine comic back in the day that had an ad for Wolverine Blues on the back cover. Wish I still had that comic book.
Necrotic Nick- I have to agree though for a minute I almost had Uprising above Clandestine. I love that album and as much as I love Wolverine Blues I think that one captures the death n' roll sound a bit more cohesively. I saw the Wolverine edition when I was a kid but never got it. I'd have to imagine it's a collector's item now.
This was a great and fun discussion I had with you guys. Entombed is one of my favorite bands in death metal and I happen to like the first 7 albums on this ranking. 12. Same Difference 11. Back to the Front 10. Serpent Saints - The Ten Amendments 9. DCLXVI - To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth 8. Inferno 7. Uprising 6. Morning Star 5. Bowels of the Earth 4. Dead Again 3. Wolverine Blues 2. Clandestine 1. Left Hand Path
Necrotic Nick- I'm super glad we did this one. It's a wild discography where you have absolute game-changers in terms of albums and even some WTF moments as well. I'm glad to see that there's a lot of love out there for the Entombed AD material. There seemed to be a lot of hate for it initially but I'm glad people have warmed up to it.
The Baroness analogy is bullshit. Sometimes I’m with him, but sometimes I shake my head with his comments. Thanks for your reviews! I always enjoy them and the humor.
I just listened to band when I popped in Left hand path first and I heard that scream in the beginning of the first song I knew this was for me. This band slams good shit.
I have a soft spot for Morning Star. When l was in my late teens and was discovering new bands, l'd read interviews and reviews that would namedrop Entombed and their sound as an influence, so l always thought of them as a band l need to check out. Back then Uprising was the newest album and l'd see the video for Say It in Slugs occasionally on tv and l liked ot. But then Morning Star came out and it was the first album l legitimately got and listened to properly. And it sure kicks ass!
Necrotic Nick- That thrashy vibe on songs like Eye for an Eye, About to Die and Ensemble of the Restless always made me want to come back to it. Uprising for me was a hell of a comeback and there's just something about that sleezy album that's just pure fun to listen too. It feels like a drinking album honestly. lol.
Cool rating. I don`t often watch youtube rankings as a lot of them feels like a poor version of Sea Of Tranquillity. But this one rules so I will watch your channel more. Good Job 5. Dead Dawn 4. Bowels of the Earth 3. Wolverine Blues 2. Left Hand Path 1. Clandestine
Your ranking videos are so great, especially when you are not as familiar with a band (as I and Entombed). Deicide and Obituary would be great ones of the classic death bands!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I hope you this made you want to dig in to Entombed's discography. It's a pretty interesting one. We definitely want to do Obituary and Deicide at some point. We know Obituary is working on a new one for this year so we're holding off on them until we review the new one.
I think they should have mentioned Nicke Andersson’s “Death Breath” band. It’s not Entombed, but it feels like it would fit perfectly somewhere in this discography Since Entombed AD do.
Necrotic Nick- I kinda wanted to save Death Breath for a retro review along with Firespawn. I love both Stinking up the Night and the Let it Stink EP from Death Breath. I'm still hopeful that he goes back to that project one day.
Hot Take... Unreal Estate is my #1 Entombed album. It's like a best of compilation, with the added weirdness of it being recorded live as part of a ballet. This was the first time I heard there was a "Marvel" alternate version of Wolverine Blues. Wonder if that makes Entombed part of the MCU? 😂
Necrotic Nick- I do dig that live album and I love the whole idea of them performing with a ballet of all things. It really makes no sense but that's kinda why I love it. I'm in full support of Entombed being a part of the MCU or at least having them referenced in someway. lol
Favourite album Clandestine 🔥 it was the 1st Entombed I heard 1st at that time they only had 2 albums (back then) not long after I bought LHP but still prefer Clandestine 🔥 as brilliant as LHP is, I consider it overrated 😉
Necrotic Nick- I love Clandestine but there's something about the pure, raw nastiness of Left Hand Path for me. I instantly connected with that album even though Wolverine Blues was the first one I picked up. I figured there would be a lot of pivoting between Clandestine and Left Hand Path as 1st and 2nd best albums. They're both amazing so I can see why.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I have a feeling Carcass will be a lot of fun. There's definitely a lot of room for debate on that one. RIP Betty and we might as well as Sidney Poitier now too. Great actor.
Uffe and Nicke are just nicknames for Ulf and Nicklas. My favourite is Clandestine. I don't even know what genre to put it in. It's more like a thrash/hardcore album with some death metal and rock influences. Still as cool after all these years.
Great job gents. Really dig Clandestine (amazing playing on this one, it's still death metal but it grooves like a m.f; a very rare mix) just a fraction over Left Hand Path. Wolverine Blues is also a banger, though perhaps a bit one dimensional. I never got into anything else, they always seemed a bit directionless and faceless once they left Earache. This video has persuaded me to give Morning Star another try. P.S: Deicide ranking. Please.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! There's a lot of volleying back and forth with Left Hand Path and Clandestine. They're both brilliant for sure but that raw, explosive energy on Left Hand Path is just too damn good. I definitely recommend checking out Uprising and Morning Star for sure. The Entombed AD stuff is pretty solid as well. Definitely want to do Deicide in the future.
I forget to mention I got into Entombed TODAY because of you guys! Is Wolverine Blues the greatest song ever made!?! Idk duuude, Im open to debate! Jk Severe Burns is still the best ;)
My personal opinion : Ive never understood why left hand path is rated so highly,Cladestine is just a BEAST of an album,houndreds times better than path
Just got the Cd this album is a gem I Love the way the 1st song starts him screaming like he was in hell sick this album is number 1 I agree. Thanks guys for great music your in Ohio I'm in the Bronx NY peace out
I liked Same Difference it reminded me more of Clutch but I understand that it's off putting to their fanbase considering they started as a death metal outfit.
12.Same Difference 11.Back to the Front 10.Inferno 9.Serpent Saints - The Ten Amendments 8.Bowels of the Earth 7.Dead Dawn 6.Morning Star 5.Uprising 4.DCLXVI - To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth 3.Wolverine Blues 2.Clandestine 1.Left Hand Path I got to call out the Hollowman & When In Sodom EPs for the non album tracks. Serpent Speech is my favorite Entombed song.
Unlike what most people think wolverine blues is not the first death n roll album. in fact wolverine blues is very inspired by the first band to do it named xysma.
Left Hand Path solo, number one solo of all time for me. It would have been perfect for the end credits of one of the Phantasm films. To this day it baffles me why they didn't use it
Such an odd discography to rank. Without a doubt my top 3 are the first three, probably in the order of their release. I like Death N Roll(and Black and Roll, and probably any metal that 'and rolls'), but i haven't heard a couple of the latter ones before the AD days. Despite the wild variety, these guys overall rank pretty highly for me(the majesty of LHP goes a long way).
Necrotic Nick- Actually, that was one of the appeals to this one for me. They had a really broad sound and pioneered 2 distinctly different approaches to death metal. Some mistakes were made but I liked that they took some fun chances in their career. The first 2 are golden to me but I really enjoy Uprising and Morning Star in their later years. The Entombed AD stuff is really solid too.
Is there any old extreme metal band that has been SOLID for more than a decade!?!?! Generally?! Death, yes, but... But yeah, have a fine weekend a pull some blacktooth grins!
Necrotic Nick- I'd say Cannibal Corpse, Immolation and Incantation were solid through their first decades but it's difficult to maintain the high level of energy and songwriting for some bands though.
Sounds like I threw in the towel at the right time after 'Wolverine Blues'? I think all the death n roll shit is hokey. Doesn't sound like they ever really got back to the full-on death again?
Necrotic Nick- I'd say the Entombed AD run was primarily death metal honestly. The death n' roll elements started dying out after awhile with them and they just got back to old school death metal in general.
I get the popular consensus is Left Hand Path #1, but for me, as amazing as that album is, if it wasn’t for Wolverine Blues being the perfect bridging album between bands like Metallica and Megadeth (and any other heavy and riffy bands in their 90’s era style of music) and Pure Death Metal, than myself and many people I know, wouldn’t have had that perfect album that bridged the gap and led you to Entombed and other bands more extreme music. Therefore, Wolverine Blues is by far my number 1 Entombed Album as it was the album that not only opened the door to Death Metal, but as I was trying to get a sneak peak through the open door they gave me a swift kick in the back that forced me through the door never to return. Now, with that said, of course “Left Hand Path” is #2, “Clandestine” #3, (“Hallowman EP” and the “Self Titled” B-Sides album fitting perfectly in the next spots, but they aren’t part of this so we move on), Then, although I know the flaws of “To Ride, Shoot Strait….” It is my #4 do to the fact that the first song on it has one of the most fun riffs ever, plus it was the last album I ever took a lot of time to become acquainted with as the follow up was so bad I never really checked in again until this video other than Black JuJu which helped keep me scared away. Now, after checking this video out I went back and realized I really like “Uprising” and “Morning Star”, and with some more time “Inferno” and “Serpent Saints” could grow on me. I may not agree with the lack of respect for Wolverine Blues, but this video did help me give the later albums a chance after many years which is awesome. Thank you!
Necrotic Nick- I definitely hear you about Wolverine Blues. That was the album that introduced me to the band and while it didn't seem to really fit in anywhere it was this cool 90's oddity of an album with it's own unique appeal. I thought about including Hollowman and When in Sodom but we decided to stick to just the full lengths. Uprising and Morning Star have become 2 of my favorites over the years. I would even say that they did the death n' roll sound a bit better on Uprising than they did on Wolverine Blues but I do love both. I think all of their albums have their appeal (even Same Difference) and I just love that they really created a lot of different albums through the course of their career. Glad you dug the video, man!
His name is Ulf, Uffe is more of a nickname friends would use. Pretty much like Joseph becomes "Joe" or Nicholas could become "Nick". Ulf is an old word for wolf so I guess it´s a fitting name for a death metal guy
Necrotic Nick- That makes more sense. I couldn't find much of an explanation behind the "Uffe/ Ulf" thing. That is pretty badass that his name translates to "wolf" though. That pretty fuckin' metal. Thanks for the info, bro!
I got into Entombed in 1992, watched the "Revel in Flesh" live video from the Gods of Grind Tour on Headbangers Ball. Bought Left Hand Path and shortly after Clandestine. The Left Hand Path t-shirt is at also almost 30 years the oldest, most washed out t-shirt I still own. Have listened to both albums so many times but after all these years, Clandestine is my #1, Left Hand Path is #2, then Wolverine Blues as #3. After that the gap was so long that I never bought another Entombed album, what little I head never had me excited at all. Was more into technical death metal so that kinda stoner rock approach they brought didn't hit the mark for me. Weird how that goes sometimes.
Necrotic Nick- I got into them around '94 or '95 when I saw the Wolverine Blues video on Beavis and Butthead. The style was right up my alley since I was huge into Sepultura and Pantera at the time.That's sick you got a vintage shirt. I had to settle for a reprint from Hells Headbangers but I love the fuck out of it. I think because I heard Wolverine Blues first the later stuff was easier for me to get into. I ended up getting into nu metal before I got back into death metal again but going back Left Hand Path just grabbed ahold of me and wouldn't let go.
I bought to ride and speak the truth yrs ago... lol I hated it oneof the worst albums I listened to. But this video is gives me good info I would like to listen to them again
Uprising really was a career saver for them. They could not get away with another Same Difference. I like Same Difference a bit here and there but it should have been Uffe's side project.
Such an interesting ranking. Morbid Angel and Entombed have the biggest peaks and valleys of any DM band. Morbid Angel hits higher on the gem albums in comparison, but Entombed never sunk as low
Necrotic Nick- Agreed. I knew going into this one that there were going to be some stinkers but much like Morbid Angel the gems far outweighed the turds. At least with Same Difference the gamble made sense for the era they were in but Aluminum Anus makes no sense. Shitty industrial metal made for the late 90's in 2011? That's just dumb. lol
First off.... i disagree🤣 baroness?? 🤔 My number one Was always clandestine, but i was a hardcore kid back than, what did i know... 02 left hand path and 03 wolverine blues... yes Great Video guys... and did rin say Gesundheit 🤣👍
I dunno after left hand path these necks pretty much went south , I'm sure there are those metal heads that are like yay clandestine , yeah still nope for me however I'm still going to check this out as I'm interested to hear where this goes aye 😋🤘👊💯
Damn, I've got the exact opposite view of To Ride. But that's okay. 3. Clandestine 2. DCLXVI To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth! 1. Left Hand Path
Necrotic Nick- To Ride seems to be a divisive one in the discography. It's kinda goofy and lighthearted but I think there's still some fun tracks. I love the title track and Damn Deal Done but some of it is just not for me.
I saw Entombed live in 1992 while stationed in Germany serving in the U.S. Army. I was 18. I went alone. It was a frightening and exciting experience for an 18 year old far from Flint, Michigan.
Highly anticipated. 1. Left Hand Path 2. Clandestine 3. Wolverine Blues for me. After that it gets interesting.
1. Clandestine/Wolverine Blues 2. Left Hand Path 3. Morning Star.🤗🤘
Slayer vinyl box. Owned it forca while.
OP, my list mirrors your own. Left Hand Path is famous for many reasons. Clandestine has some bangers and is a worthy followup. Wolverine Blues has grown on me over the years, and that is why it is #3. The HM2 sound is still present on WB, but they mixed it up and I like that. The rest is...........okay, but I haven't listened to nearly enough of their later stuff to make a ranking on that.
Ok this is my new favourite channel. I miss being young and shooting the shit with friends about music. I know you guys are not young but it's nice to see freinds stay connected through music. All my freinds got married, had kids or got bored with it. Rin makes me laugh, comedic twitcher. Reminds me of Professor Frink 🤪
True Story: I had the regular version of Wolverine Blues on Cd when I saw a used copy of the Marvel version at a store. I was really into limited editions of CDs so I traded in my regular version and bought the Marvel version with the Wolverine comic book inside. I went home started playing it, noticed that the part "Jesus, Hitler, Satan, bought my soul" was completely removed from the song Hollowman, in an obvious edit, and the song Out of Hand was removed and I think replaced with Put Off the Scent from the Hollowman ep. I guess Marvel objected to some of the lyrics for the album. Anyways I took the fucking thing right back to the record store, gave it back to them and got my regular edition back. Fuck the marvel edition.
Interesting. I had a Wolverine comic book that had an ad for Wolverine Blues on the back cover. Wish I still had it. I wonder if it was the same comic that you're talking about? I bought the comic book on it's own from a convenience store so It's probably different. Marvel objecting to the lyrics is lame. I would've done the same thing you did.
@@SuperStrik9 the one that came with the CD was the same size as the CD case and fit inside. It wasn't a really long story either.
@@Gregbaltzer Cool. Thanks. That answers my question. They were different. The one I had was just a normal Wolverine comic book with a Wolverine Blues ad on the back.
i have the Marvel version but it has only 9 tracks; Out of Hand is removed and "Put Off the Scent" wasn't put in its place.
Differences of the Marvel version:
1. Eyemaster:
'Hellraiser III' movie sample "I am the way" NOT removed at 0:10 second mark.
2. Rotten Soil:
'Flatliners' movie sample "Wake up you little shit, you got company!" removed at 3:00 minute mark.
8. Hollowman:
the line "jesus, satan, hitler - bought my soul" removed at 3:06 minute mark and also removed from the CD lyrics insert.
10. Out of Hand was removed from this version.
Various swear words are also removed.

@@nootron9 You gave that CD a lot more spins than I did. lol. I took it back almost immediately. It was so many years ago, I couldn't quite member if Out of Hand(one of my favorites on the album) was replaced or not. I just remember it being removed. But basically still.....FUCK THAT VERSION!

The editing process for these album rankings must be so tedious, your efforts will NEVER go unnoticed!! 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽
what editing?
@@spencergrady5501 video editing
I had the honor to play a few support shows for them on one of their European tour two or three years ago. Killer band and L.G. was such an humble and nice guy on and off stage.
My fab 3s:
1. Wolverine
2. Left Hand
3. Uprising
Necrotic Nick- LG seemed like such a cool guy on stage. You could tell he was having a lot of fun and legit loved his fans. He'll go down as one of my favorite frontmen in death metal and metal in general ever.
I saw Entombed in 1994 at a concert in Warsaw/Poland. They played with Napalm Death and they were supported by Vader and Sparagmos. Strong Eareche Rec. I already knew them well and their first albums and that's why I wanted to see them live. They promoted "Wolverine Blues". It was something different from what they presented earlier but the guitars crushed with their heavy sound. OG's of Swedish Death Metal. 🤘

Necrotic Nick- Man, that's the lowest I've seen Left Hand Path yet honestly.
@@thrallsofmetal Hey... still a great album. But in my book it's easily eclipsed by Clandestine when it comes to their early strict DM stuff. To be honest all top 5 records in my list are great albums as far as I'm concerned. And besides Serpent Saints, Back To The Front, Bowels Of The Earth and Inferno (that I think are utterly boring and uninspired) I think the other 3 albums also have stellar moments (yes, even Same Difference). As for Left Hand Path itself I must confess I saw it even lower in some lists and although I don't agree with either them or you it's 100% fine. After all it's all a matter personal taste.
Entombed rules. Wolverine Blues and Clandestine are my favorites. Rest In Peace LG Petrov you will forever be missed, your contributions to Death Metal will never be forgotten.
Necrotic Nick- For me, Left Hand Path was always out in front with Clandestine not far behind. LG will go down as one of my favorite death metal frontmen ever. I'm glad I got to see him at least once.
Great ranking fellas! As someone who just never got around to listening to Entombed, I found the background into the band you guys provided to be really helpful for me. I'm going to start jamming their stuff today.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! It's a fun band to do a deep dive on just for the interesting twists and turns in their discography. There are a couple of turds but most of it is pretty killer.
I love the biography you guys put in album ranking
Glad to see Morning Star so high up on everyone’s lists. It is my personal favorite.🤘🏻
Necrotic Nick- I love that album. There's so many bangers and hearing that HM2 come back on that album was awesome.
Yup. MS was their peak imo
It was fun meeting you nick! Looking forward to seeing more stuff from you and the guys!! ( I was the guy that was at the food truck when you guys were there after the show)
Necrotic Nick- Hey, man! It was pleasuring meeting you as well. Sorry I didn't have more time to talk but If you're at MDF this year feel free to come by and chat again. Take care, man!
Loved this video. The only album I bought of theirs was "To Ride, Shoot Straight and Tell the Truth" and I pretty much gave up on them right away.
Only heard the first three albums a month ago and fucking loved them.
Based on your ranking, I will definitely check out a few more of their later albums.
Cheers lads 🤘
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! To Ride might not be the best starting point but I'm glad you went back because this band has some flat out amazing albums in their discography. Cheers, bro!

Good to see To Ride getting some love.
@@kaptaink1897 It's a fun, rocking album. Seeing it ranked so low makes me sad lol
Fun fact: the first Thralls video that I stumbled upon was Entombed A.D. Bowels of Earth review. Also when I walk my dog, he's always to my left side so I can honestly say "My dog walks the Left Hand Path." Thanks for all the great content. I have been absolutely slammed at work the past few weeks but I try to keep up when I can.
Necrotic Nick- Dude, I remembered being so giddy to do that review because I fucking love Entombed. Your dog walks the true path of a metalhead, bro! Thanks for watching, bro!
I had a similar experience like Johnny had with Nihilist where my old band broke up then reformed without me under another name. But in my bands situation they ended up suffering lineup changes that quickly broke up the band for good. My brother did a no show and they were forced to play live without a bassist. Then the drummer left right after and then it was just 2 left and they tried starting another band together but it just didn't work out.
RIP to original Nihilist member Leif Cusner. He was pretty much the creator of the buzzsaw guitar sound. Also RIP to LG Petrov. Dismember would be a good ranking. I hope they release another album. One of my favorite bands.
Necrotic Nick- Damn, that's a pretty unlucky run of events. I think I overlooked the stuff about Leif unfortunately. I'd love to do Dismember in the future but I'm kinda curious if their reunion is going to come with a new album. Maybe they'll announce something at Maryland Deathfest this year.
@@thrallsofmetal Yeah i believe they have played around with some new riffs and are trying to get something going but are taking it slow.
THAT'S THE WAY TO START A NEW YEAR!!!! 2022 already on fire!!!!!!!!!! Can't Wait!!!!!! Despite popular opinion, Ive always considered 'Clandestine' the better album over 'Left Hand Path', better production, and matured songwriting from start to finish!
Hey team, that was great! Next up 'dismember? They've had the same crazy highs & lows but ' like an ever flowing
stream' is on par with ' left hand path' later on their track 'casket garden' is awesome!
Necrotic Nick- Actually the next ones up are Carcass, Exodus, Mastodon, Pantera and Crowbar but I definitely want to do Dismember eventually. I'm holding off a bit on them just because now that they're back together I'm curious if they decide to record something new.
Entombed, Death, Bolt Thrower and Obituary were my first death metal expiriences. Eventually bought every Entombed album up until the early 2000s. Moved far away and left all my cds behind. They were unlike any other metal band. A sound all their own. The one i eventually jammed the most was the blue album, with skull on front, 1997 self titled. Compilation of early stuff and a couple covers...Clandestine is my #1. Cheers to you all 🤘
Bolt thrower was the band that really got me into Death metal. Had listened to Cannibal and liked them, but Bolt Throwers 4th crusade and For Victory showed me what DM could really be.
Swedish old school death metal.
🇸🇪🤘🎸💀😈
Seen Entombed in 2005 in New York.
RIP, Lars Petrov. 😔
Good list boys. I gave up on Entombed when Shoot Straight came out...have to check out a few later releases.
Looking foward to Exodus and Carcass rankings. Carcass rankings may be drastically different depending on what style you perfer.
A few out of the box suggestions for future rankings shows.
Primus, Helmet, D.R.I., C.O.C., Sick of it All, Snapcase,
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I started with Wolverine Blues and then found Left Hand Path. Both of them had a big impact on me so I hunted down all their stuff (even Same Difference sadly). I'm looking forward to all of our picks honestly and I think Carcass and Exodus will be a lot of fun especially. Lots of different possibilities with both of those. I'd like to do some heavy bands that might be more on the cusp of metal like Helmet, Faith No More, Primus etc. so those are possibilities in the future.
Entombed rules! The first 3 for me. Left Hand path is a stone cold classic, a genre defining album. I also really enjoy the Entombed AD material. Shame there won't be a 4th album.
R.I.P. LG Petrov
Necrotic Nick- Pretty much legends in my book. Left Hand Path is the bible that the Stockholm sound was built on but I still really enjoy a lot of their later material and the Entombed AD was really underrated. LG will be missed indeed. RIP
Left Hand Path is one of the most important albums of all time, not just in terms of the metal community but also on a personal level, because it helps me remember the date of my wedding anniversary since it was released on the same day.
(Jk I'm not that terrible of a husband)
I've always loved ENTOMBED and most their albums. I know Wolverine Blues was a crazy turn from them but I've always loved the album. And I fully agree with you all about Morning Star what a fuckin awesome! Metal Album so underrated by many people. Like Jammin Jon said which I agree it's kinda like a Slayer album with the thrash Metal vibe. And I've actually been jamming with Morning Star all this week in my trunk. Oh and I really like the Dead Dawn album also
I hope they continue in this direction in the future. Great video guys🙂🤘
Necrotic Nick- That's one of my favorite things about Entombed's discography: it's kinda all over the place but mostly in a good way. Morning Star is a definitely underrated. I think people just overlook it along with Uprising but hopefully people that watch this video give both a chance. I don't think Entombed AD will continue without LG but I could be wrong and I'd be willing to check out future output for sure. Thanks gain for watching, bro!
I was looking forward to this video and I really enjoyed seeing everyone's rankings. I'm a big fan of Entombed and I got into them at the turn of the century with Uprising which is my favourite Entombed album so I was happy to see Nick speak of it highly. For me my top 5 albums 1.Uprising 2.Left hand path 3.Wolverine Blues 4.Clandestine 5. Morning Star
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Uprising was my darkhorse in this one. I almost had it at #2 but I still think Clandestine is a bit better.
As I mentioned in my ranking, I got about 40 seconds into about three tracks from Same Difference, and I said NOOOOOPE.
That being said we definitely had some similarities. Atleast RIN agreed with me on To Ride Shoot Straight and really I can agree with the rest of yas on it. Those later records with Uprising and on to the AD stuff was good, but the production bugged me and I don’t know why. Didn’t stick out. Great video and great job ranking this boys!!!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Same Difference was a flat out fucking mistake. I'm glad the reaction the band had was "lets just write a dirty, raw, mean bastard of an album" because Uprising is a beast. I thing the muddier production really works well on that one. Kinda missed the mark on Inferno though.
@@thrallsofmetal yeah I can agree with that too. That muddy production is what threw my off I think. Which is kinda what LHP was was it not?! Sort of?
I saw entombed live in 92. I was standing at the side of the stage . They came out , hit hard , and uffe stumbled . I put my arms up to stop him , and helped him stand back up. He never missed a note !! They invited me backstage, and autographed my “ crawl “ cassette . Cool guys !!
aahhh the segment that i,m waiting for .tq for the ranking although i only familiar with their 3 early albums only.Can't wait for carcass and exodus rank stuff,left hand path rules!!!!!!!
Necrotic Nick- This is a fun discography to dive into. I think the Entombed AD stuff is pretty overlooked too. We're looking forward to doing Carcass next for sure.
Loved this Ranking!!!!
Hahaha. Peter Stjärnvind is my man! He followed in Nicke's path, forming the band Black Trip, which is a better version of The Hellacoptors!
And I will always absolutely and unquestioningly love Ulf Cederlund just because he has been a part of Disfear and my maybe my favorite album of all time, Live The Storm.
That said, I don't come within 20 feet of Same Difference, lol.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I still need to get more stuff from Black Trip and VOJd as well. It think Hellacopters is more focused on 70's classic rock versus Black Trip/ VOJD being more classic heavy metal but they both rule in my book. I'm looking forward to some new Disfear for sure. Live the Storm is one of the the best d-beat/ crust albums ever. I dreaded having to listen to Same Difference again but I suffered through it... again. lol
one of the best swedish death metal bands! rip Lars Göran Petrov
My friend had a copy via tape trading of the Nihilist "Only Shreds Remain" demo, so my anticipation for "Left Hand Path" when it came out was skyhigh and to say it live up to my expectations would be an understatement.
I have not listened to anything post Wolverine Blues in a LONG time, but I liked To Ride.... quite a bit when it came out, gonna give it a listen soon based on this video to find out if I will still have the same opinion.
Necrotic Nick- I remember seeing the video for Wolverine Blues on Beavis and Butthead and just digging the hell out of that song but years later when I snagged Left Hand Path my jaw hit the floor with how badass that album was. It's worth going back through just to check out Uprising and Morning Star especially. Those albums have aged really well.
Finally, new killer disco rankings! Imho your best series on this killer channel! Let the metal flow!
Necrotic Nick- It's one of my favorite kinds of videos to do, they just take longer to get together. I'm looking forward to the next batch.
Not ranking this on what I thinks their best, because I like all of them, just ranking them on how much time I put into listening to each one. #1 Wolverine Blues(it was my first Entombed Album) #2Left Hand Path #3Clandenstine #4 Uprising #5 Inferno #6 Same Difference #7 Serpents Saints #8 Ride, Shoot Straight, And Speak the Truth, Morning Star. I have all the Entombed A.D. albums too, just not sure where I'd rate them. I'm pretty equal on all of them.
Necrotic Nick- Wolverine Blues was my first one as well and I spent a lot of time with that one. It fit right in with all the stuff I was jamming at the time. I didn't get Left Hand Path until much later but when I heard that snarling tone I was in love.
Broooooo Severe Burns off CLAAADENSTIIINE is such an underrated song!!! It deserves more love imo
Left Hand Path and Clandestine are Entombed's best albums imo. I had a Wolverine comic back in the day that had an ad for Wolverine Blues on the back cover. Wish I still had that comic book.
Necrotic Nick- I have to agree though for a minute I almost had Uprising above Clandestine. I love that album and as much as I love Wolverine Blues I think that one captures the death n' roll sound a bit more cohesively. I saw the Wolverine edition when I was a kid but never got it. I'd have to imagine it's a collector's item now.
Picked up the cassette tape of Left Hand Path about a week after it was utterly blown away
Oh shit! I had no idea that Left Hand Path came out the day I was born. I was destined to worship the HM2.
Fantastic video!! Entombed are ones of my favorite Swedish bands.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Same here, bro!
This was a great and fun discussion I had with you guys. Entombed is one of my favorite bands in death metal and I happen to like the first 7 albums on this ranking.

Necrotic Nick- I'm super glad we did this one. It's a wild discography where you have absolute game-changers in terms of albums and even some WTF moments as well. I'm glad to see that there's a lot of love out there for the Entombed AD material. There seemed to be a lot of hate for it initially but I'm glad people have warmed up to it.
The Baroness analogy is bullshit. Sometimes I’m with him, but sometimes I shake my head with his comments. Thanks for your reviews! I always enjoy them and the humor.
Awesome job as always.Love to see your breakdown of one of my all time favorite Metal bands. CARCASS
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I'm glad you dug it and we're looking forward to "dissecting" all of Carcass's albums next for sure. lol
I just listened to band when I popped in Left hand path first and I heard that scream in the beginning of the first song I knew this was for me. This band slams good shit.
I'm excited for all of those rankings!
Necrotic Nick- I'm looking forward to them. These should be fun.
I have a soft spot for Morning Star. When l was in my late teens and was discovering new bands, l'd read interviews and reviews that would namedrop Entombed and their sound as an influence, so l always thought of them as a band l need to check out. Back then Uprising was the newest album and l'd see the video for Say It in Slugs occasionally on tv and l liked ot. But then Morning Star came out and it was the first album l legitimately got and listened to properly. And it sure kicks ass!
Necrotic Nick- That thrashy vibe on songs like Eye for an Eye, About to Die and Ensemble of the Restless always made me want to come back to it. Uprising for me was a hell of a comeback and there's just something about that sleezy album that's just pure fun to listen too. It feels like a drinking album honestly. lol.
Cool rating. I don`t often watch youtube rankings as a lot of them feels like a poor version of Sea Of Tranquillity. But this one rules so I will watch your channel more. Good Job

Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I appreciate you giving us a chance. Definitely rankings coming in the future for sure.
Your ranking videos are so great, especially when you are not as familiar with a band (as I and Entombed). Deicide and Obituary would be great ones of the classic death bands!
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I hope you this made you want to dig in to Entombed's discography. It's a pretty interesting one. We definitely want to do Obituary and Deicide at some point. We know Obituary is working on a new one for this year so we're holding off on them until we review the new one.
@@thrallsofmetal awesome news! Yep, I'm definitely into Entombed now (its first two really lol). Thanks! Keep up the awesome channel!
I think they should have mentioned Nicke Andersson’s “Death Breath” band. It’s not Entombed, but it feels like it would fit perfectly somewhere in this discography Since Entombed AD do.
Necrotic Nick- I kinda wanted to save Death Breath for a retro review along with Firespawn. I love both Stinking up the Night and the Let it Stink EP from Death Breath. I'm still hopeful that he goes back to that project one day.
Hot Take... Unreal Estate is my #1 Entombed album. It's like a best of compilation, with the added weirdness of it being recorded live as part of a ballet. This was the first time I heard there was a "Marvel" alternate version of Wolverine Blues. Wonder if that makes Entombed part of the MCU? 😂
Necrotic Nick- I do dig that live album and I love the whole idea of them performing with a ballet of all things. It really makes no sense but that's kinda why I love it. I'm in full support of Entombed being a part of the MCU or at least having them referenced in someway. lol
Favourite album Clandestine 🔥 it was the 1st Entombed I heard 1st at that time they only had 2 albums (back then) not long after I bought LHP but still prefer Clandestine 🔥 as brilliant as LHP is, I consider it overrated 😉
Necrotic Nick- I love Clandestine but there's something about the pure, raw nastiness of Left Hand Path for me. I instantly connected with that album even though Wolverine Blues was the first one I picked up. I figured there would be a lot of pivoting between Clandestine and Left Hand Path as 1st and 2nd best albums. They're both amazing so I can see why.
That was fun 57 mins & really looking forward to that carcass video.
Hell yeah Betty White ruled, raise a glass 🥃
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! I have a feeling Carcass will be a lot of fun. There's definitely a lot of room for debate on that one. RIP Betty and we might as well as Sidney Poitier now too. Great actor.
As you might already gather, the best way to approach every Entombed album is as a unique entity devoid of attachment from past releases.
Great great Stuff Thralls. Thx a bunch ✊🏿🤘🏾🤎🖤
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man!
Man that Twin reference just finished me off, im dying...
Damn they really shit on To Ride... I personally love that album. It's like the heaviest party album.
1-Crawl E.P.
2-Clandestine
3- Left Hand Path
4- Hollowman E.P.
5- Morning Star/ Serpent Saints
Uffe and Nicke are just nicknames for Ulf and Nicklas.
My favourite is Clandestine. I don't even know what genre to put it in. It's more like a thrash/hardcore album with some death metal and rock influences. Still as cool after all these years.
Great job gents.
Really dig Clandestine (amazing playing on this one, it's still death metal but it grooves like a m.f; a very rare mix) just a fraction over Left Hand Path. Wolverine Blues is also a banger, though perhaps a bit one dimensional.
I never got into anything else, they always seemed a bit directionless and faceless once they left Earache. This video has persuaded me to give Morning Star another try.
P.S: Deicide ranking. Please.
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! There's a lot of volleying back and forth with Left Hand Path and Clandestine. They're both brilliant for sure but that raw, explosive energy on Left Hand Path is just too damn good. I definitely recommend checking out Uprising and Morning Star for sure. The Entombed AD stuff is pretty solid as well. Definitely want to do Deicide in the future.
I forget to mention I got into Entombed TODAY because of you guys! Is Wolverine Blues the greatest song ever made!?! Idk duuude, Im open to debate! Jk Severe Burns is still the best ;)
My personal opinion : Ive never understood why left hand path is rated so highly,Cladestine is just a BEAST of an album,houndreds times better than path

Just got the Cd this album is a gem I Love the way the 1st song starts him screaming like he was in hell sick this album is number 1 I agree. Thanks guys for great music your in Ohio I'm in the Bronx NY peace out

I got to call out the Hollowman & When In Sodom EPs for the non album tracks. Serpent Speech is my favorite Entombed song.
Necrotic Nick- Serpent Speech is a banger and Carnage on When in Sodom is probably my favorite track they did of that last era.
Please rank the mighty UNLEASHED discography
19:02 This album is a DUMPSTER FIRE!
Also, you guys gotta do an Amon Amarth ranking sometime!
Necrotic Nick- Legendarily bad. We might do Amon Amarth at some point in the future.
1. The horse album 2. The comic book album 3. The wrong handed album and the rest don't matter
The only notable thing on Same Difference is that it had a cute dog on the cover, nothing else.
Unlike what most people think wolverine blues is not the first death n roll album. in fact wolverine blues is very inspired by the first band to do it named xysma.
And if you listen to lotto by xysma it sounds a lot like same difference but it's actually good I think it's very likely they wanted to be xysma
Left Hand Path solo, number one solo of all time for me. It would have been perfect for the end credits of one of the Phantasm films. To this day it baffles me why they didn't use it
Can I suggest y’all do a Kataklysm ranking. They’re one of my all time favorite death metal bands ever
Nice Wesley Willis Quote. Great to know, you guys like/know him as well. Walgreen's - The Pharmacy America trusts.
Necrotic Nick- How can we not love Wesley? He whooped Batman's ass!
Such an odd discography to rank. Without a doubt my top 3 are the first three, probably in the order of their release. I like Death N Roll(and Black and Roll, and probably any metal that 'and rolls'), but i haven't heard a couple of the latter ones before the AD days.
Despite the wild variety, these guys overall rank pretty highly for me(the majesty of LHP goes a long way).
Necrotic Nick- Actually, that was one of the appeals to this one for me. They had a really broad sound and pioneered 2 distinctly different approaches to death metal. Some mistakes were made but I liked that they took some fun chances in their career. The first 2 are golden to me but I really enjoy Uprising and Morning Star in their later years. The Entombed AD stuff is really solid too.
Is there any old extreme metal band that has been SOLID for more than a decade!?!?! Generally?! Death, yes, but...
But yeah, have a fine weekend a pull some blacktooth grins!
Necrotic Nick- I'd say Cannibal Corpse, Immolation and Incantation were solid through their first decades but it's difficult to maintain the high level of energy and songwriting for some bands though.
Sounds like I threw in the towel at the right time after 'Wolverine Blues'? I think all the death n roll shit is hokey. Doesn't sound like they ever really got back to the full-on death again?
Necrotic Nick- I'd say the Entombed AD run was primarily death metal honestly. The death n' roll elements started dying out after awhile with them and they just got back to old school death metal in general.
1. Clandestine
2. Left Hand Path
3. Wolverine....
4. Serpent Saints
5. Morning Star
I get the popular consensus is Left Hand Path #1, but for me, as amazing as that album is, if it wasn’t for Wolverine Blues being the perfect bridging album between bands like Metallica and Megadeth (and any other heavy and riffy bands in their 90’s era style of music) and Pure Death Metal, than myself and many people I know, wouldn’t have had that perfect album that bridged the gap and led you to Entombed and other bands more extreme music. Therefore, Wolverine Blues is by far my number 1 Entombed Album as it was the album that not only opened the door to Death Metal, but as I was trying to get a sneak peak through the open door they gave me a swift kick in the back that forced me through the door never to return.
Now, with that said, of course “Left Hand Path” is #2, “Clandestine” #3, (“Hallowman EP” and the “Self Titled” B-Sides album fitting perfectly in the next spots, but they aren’t part of this so we move on), Then, although I know the flaws of “To Ride, Shoot Strait….” It is my #4 do to the fact that the first song on it has one of the most fun riffs ever, plus it was the last album I ever took a lot of time to become acquainted with as the follow up was so bad I never really checked in again until this video other than Black JuJu which helped keep me scared away. Now, after checking this video out I went back and realized I really like “Uprising” and “Morning Star”, and with some more time “Inferno” and “Serpent Saints” could grow on me. I may not agree with the lack of respect for Wolverine Blues, but this video did help me give the later albums a chance after many years which is awesome. Thank you!
Necrotic Nick- I definitely hear you about Wolverine Blues. That was the album that introduced me to the band and while it didn't seem to really fit in anywhere it was this cool 90's oddity of an album with it's own unique appeal. I thought about including Hollowman and When in Sodom but we decided to stick to just the full lengths. Uprising and Morning Star have become 2 of my favorites over the years. I would even say that they did the death n' roll sound a bit better on Uprising than they did on Wolverine Blues but I do love both. I think all of their albums have their appeal (even Same Difference) and I just love that they really created a lot of different albums through the course of their career. Glad you dug the video, man!
45:34 I wonder if Altairs at #6 still gets brought up in 2023...
You all missing out on Entombed 1997 compilation album of old EPs
His name is Ulf, Uffe is more of a nickname friends would use. Pretty much like Joseph becomes "Joe" or Nicholas could become "Nick". Ulf is an old word for wolf so I guess it´s a fitting name for a death metal guy
Necrotic Nick- That makes more sense. I couldn't find much of an explanation behind the "Uffe/ Ulf" thing. That is pretty badass that his name translates to "wolf" though. That pretty fuckin' metal. Thanks for the info, bro!
I got into Entombed in 1992, watched the "Revel in Flesh" live video from the Gods of Grind Tour on Headbangers Ball. Bought Left Hand Path and shortly after Clandestine. The Left Hand Path t-shirt is at also almost 30 years the oldest, most washed out t-shirt I still own. Have listened to both albums so many times but after all these years, Clandestine is my #1, Left Hand Path is #2, then Wolverine Blues as #3. After that the gap was so long that I never bought another Entombed album, what little I head never had me excited at all. Was more into technical death metal so that kinda stoner rock approach they brought didn't hit the mark for me. Weird how that goes sometimes.
Necrotic Nick- I got into them around '94 or '95 when I saw the Wolverine Blues video on Beavis and Butthead. The style was right up my alley since I was huge into Sepultura and Pantera at the time.That's sick you got a vintage shirt. I had to settle for a reprint from Hells Headbangers but I love the fuck out of it. I think because I heard Wolverine Blues first the later stuff was easier for me to get into. I ended up getting into nu metal before I got back into death metal again but going back Left Hand Path just grabbed ahold of me and wouldn't let go.
I bought to ride and speak the truth yrs ago... lol I hated it oneof the worst albums I listened to. But this video is gives me good info I would like to listen to them again
I still wonder what Clandestine would sound like with Petrov instead. However, it is a near perfect album as is.
Uprising really was a career saver for them. They could not get away with another Same Difference. I like Same Difference a bit here and there but it should have been Uffe's side project.
Such an interesting ranking. Morbid Angel and Entombed have the biggest peaks and valleys of any DM band.
Morbid Angel hits higher on the gem albums in comparison, but Entombed never sunk as low
Necrotic Nick- Agreed. I knew going into this one that there were going to be some stinkers but much like Morbid Angel the gems far outweighed the turds. At least with Same Difference the gamble made sense for the era they were in but Aluminum Anus makes no sense. Shitty industrial metal made for the late 90's in 2011? That's just dumb. lol
@@thrallsofmetal aluminum anus hahah. You are fueling my mind for a parody drawing of David Vincent lol
Necrotic Nick- Don't forget the cowboy hat and guy-liner. lol
I'm probably the oddball here, but my top three is 1. Clandestine, 2. Left Hand Path, 3. Uprising.
Bowels Of the Earth To Ride then Wolverine Blues if they included the Hollowman Ep.
Would love to see a megadeth albums ranking, all I know you did slayer but a album ranking for all of the big 4
Necrotic Nick- We'll definitely cover Megadeth at some point. We definitely want to include the new album when it drops though.
awesome video i would love to see a marduk albums ranked video
Necrotic Nick- I definitely want to rank Marduk in the future. One of my favorite black metal bands for sure.
@@thrallsofmetal yep
First off.... i disagree🤣 baroness?? 🤔
My number one Was always clandestine, but i was a hardcore kid back than, what did i know... 02 left hand path and 03 wolverine blues... yes
Great Video guys... and did rin say Gesundheit 🤣👍
Necrotic Nick- Thanks, man! Yeah... we were all kinda scratching our heads at the Baroness thing. lol.
Wolverine Blues. If I recall correctly, the lyrics to the song were inspired by a James Ellroy novel.
Necrotic Nick- I believe that's right. I know it definitely wasn't about Wolverine. lol
I still love the first and second Entombed albums but I never got into the death n roll thing. I never liked Wolverine Blues.
Samr Difference is fucking great.
If you guys do a Pantera ranking will you be ranking thier glam era as well?
Necrotic Nick- Oh yeah. We're doing all their full lengths for sure.
I dunno after left hand path these necks pretty much went south , I'm sure there are those metal heads that are like yay clandestine , yeah still nope for me however I'm still going to check this out as I'm interested to hear where this goes aye 😋🤘👊💯
RIP LG Petrov
Damn, I've got the exact opposite view of To Ride. But that's okay.
3. Clandestine
2. DCLXVI To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth!
1. Left Hand Path
Necrotic Nick- To Ride seems to be a divisive one in the discography. It's kinda goofy and lighthearted but I think there's still some fun tracks. I love the title track and Damn Deal Done but some of it is just not for me.
