The outro is actually from an 80's(might be late 70's) horror movie called Phantasm, so good call there. And this album is amazing, milestone in Death Metal.
These guys were teenagers, basically kids when they recorded this. One of the best death metal albums ever and the absolute god of the Swedish death metal de-tuning. I saw them on Gods of Grind for the first time and they were so good live. R.I.P. LG 🤘🖤
I remember buying this album on cassette when it first came out when I was 16. I didn't know anything about Entombed but I was really into Sepultura Beneath the Remains, Bolt Thrower Realm of Chaos, Pestilence, death and morbid angel altars of madness. I was at independant records in Colorado Springs. This guy named Kurt Huebert worked there. He was also a photagrapher for Pit magazine. He would go around the record store with a walkman portable cassette player and let you listen to albums like this. He let me listen to left hand path and I was blown away. I think that day I also bought Paradise Lost Lost Paradise and Hellbaastard Natural Order albums that were also great. As far as I know, Entombed was the first group with that swedish death metal guitar sound. We used to mimic it by turning down the tone knob all the way down on our guitars to get that bass overload heavy sound. They used a peavy amp and a boss heavy metal distortion pedal with the knobs all turned up all the way to get it in the studio.
Everyone used to think that Entombed were gearheads or something because of their guitar tone, lol. It was actually the exact opposite. Everyone playing that European style of Death Metal had to have that guitar tone after Entombed, and Dismember. Entombed was also one of the early bands that had a really good drum tone on record. I miss the 90's, and 80's Death Metal, and the Thrash scene that came before it. It was all new ground, and new soil being turned, and that soil was extremely fertile. Even when Death Metal as a business started going downhill in the mid-90's, there were still great albums being released every year. The internet wasn't around, and we knew little about the bands we listened too, yet we still felt like we had a relationship with those great bands. I remember when TH-cam was still in it's infancy I was researching about all the bands I had listened too since I was really young. The only stuff we really knew about the bands we loved on a personal level was through magazines, television interviews, and radio interviews. A lot of it was learned through word of mouth, or rumors, and some of the information we would get about our favorite bands and musicians was false. Most people found bands like Entombed just by hanging out at the record stores, listening to random new Metal albums, and testing the waters. No singles, no early releases, no bullcrap. All trial and error, and having FUN.
Kurt Huebert!!!! As in Independent Records and video in Colorado Springs. He was the guru of everything death metal there. He introduced me to entombed, Obituary carcass, autopsy and several others. Last I heard, he had become a school teacher of some kind. What a blast from the past. I've always wondered about that guy.
@@odell4625 Yah it was so strange back then because that was one of the only ways to get introduced to music like that. Independent records was only record store in town that had music like that untill Wendy Perlstein opened the pit record store.
The best death metal album of all times. Swedish death metal forever: Entombed, Dismember, Grave, Carnage, Unleashed (old), Tiamat (old).... And finish death metal; Demigod, Amorphis (old), Sentenced (old(, Convulse (old), Demilich....😉
"Drowned" is a genre defining song, maybe one of the best death metal songs ever written, certainly tops for that swedish sound... I can listen to that track 1000 times in a row.... and the fact that I still have this album on my usb in my car all these years later says it all...
Oooh this is gonna be wicked, Entombed rock. Left Hand Path always reminds me of my old work mate, we used to dip back to hers on lunch for a smoke and she'd stick it on. She passed not long after but everytime I hear it I think of her. RIP LG and Rachel. Looking forward to this. 🤘
I recommend Be'Lakor. An Australian melodic/progressive death metal band with lots of acoustic guitars. Songs like Countless Skies, Ambience, By Moon by Star, Withering Strands, The Smoke of Many Fires and Locus will make you cry.
I would say that their main legacy and trademark is they created the swedish DM sound, which consists in using the Boss HM-2 distortion pedal, with all knobs to the max in a very downtuned guitar.
A Swedish death metal classic!! This makes me happy. Everyone talks about American death metal but overlook the Swedish and Finnish, Norway Scandinavian death metal
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking out Black Breath as a follow up to this. They're a band from Seattle who worshipped at the altar of Entombed and their album "Sentenced To Life" hits like a sledgehammer!
If I remember correctly they didn’t publish the lyrics in the liner notes. (Just some cool photos and a few lines from Left Hand Path.) I’m remembering this from buying the casette when this album came out, so it’s been awhile. I’m pretty sure any lyrics you read online are people just interpretting what they hear. LG’s vocals are fairly “clean” as far as being able to pick out what he says, if you listen to it enough times.
'Clandestine' is a great album of theirs too, and if you like that growly guitar sound definitely check out the band Disfear, which features Entombed's guitarist.
@@hieioni3354 Merciless to the rigor although more thrash but less known, Bloodbath is more a tribute even if it's very good. But there is only one 'BIG 4' otherwise we could add much more
Excellent choice for background. As a child walking through the snow. When this was released. Perfect soundtrack for pushing through bitter cold. Latchkey kid jams
the original closer was The Truth Beyond (my favorite song from the album) Carnal Leftovers and Premature Autopsy were demo tracks not on the original pressing. Definitely one of my favorite death metal albums. Definitely get into Clandestine ASAFP, though, if you love this, you'll definitely like the follow up
imakaiya The song Left Hand Path is an artwork. If it's the first time you hear it, I understand, it's quite an impact. I'm 43 years old, but I still remember when I was thirteen years old listening to this song for the first time on a cassette and it influenced me for the rest of my life. And to this day I still think it's the best song in the history of death metal. Entombed is next to Paradise Lost, Candlemass, Death and Sepultura (old), one of my favourite bands. I've played through all their eras. The first two albums are pure Swedish death metal. The third one is a turning point, and an approach to a new genre: Death n' roll. For many fans "Wolverine Blues" is the beginning of the betrayal for many fans. Similar to what Metallica did with the "Black Album". "To Ride..." was the ultimate betrayal. But I like the later death n'roll era. Less than their death metal era (Left Hand Pah and Clandestine are sublime), but I like it. Wolverine Blues, Uprising and Morning Star are highly recommended albums. It's rock and roll with death metal. It's like listening to motorhead + death metal. 😆
LHP and Cland are brilliant but I have a special place for Wolverine Blues, really intense album. Similar to Carcass with Swansong, love all Carcass albums but there is something about Swansong that is just, well, beautiful as with Wolverine.
@@macPles If I had to make a ranking, Wolverine Blues would be behind Left Hand Path and Clandestine. And that's not a demerit. Quite the contrary. I totally agree with you about the intentionality of Wolverine Blues. Tracks like Eyemaster,Out Of Hand or Demon prove it. And I also agree with you about Swansong from Carcass. It's a very good and underrated album. Behind their masterpieces, but not mediocre. We have the mania of separating things by very good or very bad, and it doesn't work like that.
Kaiya you can’t really go wrong with Swedish Metal, so many great bands…Entombed, At The Gates, In Flames , Meshuggah , Nasum , Victims , Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth , Wolf Brigade , Bloodbath, Disfear , Dark Tranquility etc etc
Premiere not even started and I am already excited. This album was a gain changer for me when it was released. THE swedish, i.e. even today still not dated, death metal sound ... Get ready to rumble...!
I love when we can connect albums to certain parts of our lives like that. Even if it's not the greatest time lol. I loved this album so much. Thanks for watching!
TBF, when you mentioned that the synth melody in LHP gives off 80s horror movie vibes, the composition was taken from Phantasm's theme. Being someone who watched some WWE as a 2010s kid, it instead makes me think of the Undertaker making a Wrestlemania entrance especially when the guitars and drums kick in.
So glad you got to enjoy this album! Awesome analysis as usual. HIGHLY recommend either the following album "Clandestine" (kinda similar, very Horror / Halloween themed.) or the Death n Roll "Wolverine Blues" album. This band created some death metal \m/
Would have been top notch back in the day this album. I enjoyed it though. Please react to Obituary. They have a cool vocalist and slower grooves. Benediction and Gorefest some great old school death metal too.
Very cool to hang out with ya'. I love it when you do the A-Ok symbol when a meaty riff enters the fray and when you give a little southern accent. Look forward to more!!
Hi. About the vocals on Premature Autopsy I think I saw an interview with LG years ago saying they were playing around and hooked up the distpedal to the microphone and that is the reason it sounds the way it does. I could remember it wrong, but it's a quite clear memory in my head so I think I'm right. I always thought it sounded very cool.
A classic album for sure.They started as NIHILIST but for some reason (dont remember why) they split up and reformed as ENTOMBED a few days later,they released one demo before this album.Some of the songs are from the NIHILIST demos.
I love her reactions. They're right in the right places. This album is millions times hard and has many layers. The next album (Clandestine) is much more complicated musically.
I think their biggest mark is the guitar tone they pioneered....many bands copied that and continue to copy that guitar tone. In the 2010s there was a wave of hardcore punk bands with Entombed style guitar tone and chuggy riffs and they were called Entombedcore.
Please do an album reaction to one of the best Black Metal albums imho Anthems to Welkin and Dusk by Emperor. They are symphonic black metal and they remind of what Opeth would be if they were a black metal band. "Emperor is a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1991, regarded as highly influential by critics and emerging black metal bands." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emperor_(band) "In 2017, Rolling Stone ranked Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk as 57th on their list of 'The 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time.'[7] In 2018, Loudwire named it the best black metal album of all-time.[8] In 2020, Metal Hammer included it in their list of the top 10 1997 albums.[9]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthems_to_the_Welkin_at_Dusk Full album th-cam.com/video/Jmlhq5rtFXw/w-d-xo.html
Just turn on this great music to mosh whith you. And to listen to your extended "NNIICCEEEE"... You are great listener and commentator. I give you an incredible chance to drown into second Entombed's LP called "Clandestine". It's iteresting to hear/see your reaction. That album was done as continuation of the first one but went out more technical and mature!
The Stockholm sound..... Entombed, Dismember, Unleashed all came out with groundbreaking albums.... my personal fav of the time was Dismember - Like an everflowing stream.... but Left hand path is also a banger.
Clandestine and then going back to pick up Left Hand Path were my intro to Swedish DM. Back in '91 it totally blew me away and still does. Pretty amazing how much they changed (for good or bad depending on your taste) from this iconic sound bands of today are still imitating to the Death 'n Roll style.
2000 I saw Maiden at Stockholm stadion... Slayer and entombed was supporting acts... I guess I don't have to tell it's the best concerts I've been too... RIP Petrov
Hi Kaiya! I liked it a lot! More than anything came to mind. Clandestine album is probably written by many people, I think it's also very good, it's important that it's not L.G. Petrow also sang. On the other hand, the band Firespawn, which is not an old band, is worth checking out, because it features a very good and mature L.G. Petrov's voice and the music are also very good. Before his death, his last records were with the band Firespawn.
Yes, it has the 2 songs that you first felt were weaker. You're absolutely right, even if you have to listen to a record several times to know for sure which tracks are actually bad. Me and my friends in the early 90s, when we listened to these records, for example Left Hand Path, from beginning to end, like you did now :-) And we didn't rewind the tape, we just played the album all the way through. We also liked the weaker tracks, if for no other reason than the way they sound :-D
Oh what days those were.. Never will forget seeing Entombed in Portland OR in 1991.. I also have a suggestion, for October you must do a dive on Limbonic Art from Norway . Album Moon in the Scorpio. This one is spooky as hell. ehehehehehe
'Wolverine Blues' does a better job in that concern i think. Production-wise 'To Ride, SSaStT' is awful and it has songs that are a bit hit-and-miss with clearly some filler on there. Wolverine has nothing but killer tracks in my opinion, but you're free to think otherwise, ofcourse.
Facts for you to know my lady about this classic ➡ When the band recorded it their members were only 16-17 years old .. ‼ that specific guitar distortion got nominated as the Gothemburg sound ..due to its rawness and low down tune sound of it ..that then many several bands copied it and still do up until this day .. ◘ their opening track Left Hand path its considered the most influential piece of art within the Death Metal Genre .. ↔ The original drummer of the band Nicke Andersson parted ways to create his own project The Hellacopters ♀ The vocalist Lars-Goran Petrov recently died of cancer ▼ ..What you just listened is a gem within the metal community ...please ENJOY !!!!!
Hey, friend. Just came across your channel. As soon as I gave you a chance, I subscribed immediately. Great review of Left Hand Path. I'd love to see what you think about Wolverine Blues, To Ride, Speak the Truth..., and Morning Star. Anyway... Consider me a fan. I'll be watching for your posts on a regular. In the meantime (and forgive me since I haven't reviewed your back catalog yet), but have you reviewed any Kvelertak on your program? Aside from mid-era Entombed (tons of Enslaved, and hella lots of Today is the Day), they're my all-time favorite. Check'em out if you haven't yet (especially the self-titled and Endling 2023). Looking forward to it. Until next time...
RIP LG!
Left Hand and Path, one of the greatest metal albums of all time!
E em segundo lugar, o Arise do Sepultura
is it...

Entombed's Clandestine is legendary
I think it's the best album
These guys were teenagers, basically kids when they recorded this. One of the best death metal albums ever and the absolute god of the Swedish death metal de-tuning. I saw them on Gods of Grind for the first time and they were so good live. R.I.P. LG 🤘🖤
A few of the members were not even 18 when they signed their contract with Earache Records, their parents had to sign for them.
🙏
I remember buying this album on cassette when it first came out when I was 16. I didn't know anything about Entombed but I was really into Sepultura Beneath the Remains, Bolt Thrower Realm of Chaos, Pestilence, death and morbid angel altars of madness. I was at independant records in Colorado Springs. This guy named Kurt Huebert worked there. He was also a photagrapher for Pit magazine. He would go around the record store with a walkman portable cassette player and let you listen to albums like this. He let me listen to left hand path and I was blown away.

The time has come... What do you think of Left Hand Path? ❤
One of the most legendary albums of all time.
First three albums are alltime classics! 🤘LHP was the first deathmetal album i ever heard when it first came out, at age 11...
An all time classic!
The best death metal album of all times. Swedish death metal forever: Entombed, Dismember, Grave, Carnage, Unleashed (old), Tiamat (old).... And finish death metal; Demigod, Amorphis (old), Sentenced (old(, Convulse (old), Demilich....😉
@@SavageZoom You forgot to mention Edge of Sanity, classic band that belongs among the best of Swe OSDM!🤘💪
Legendary band
Over 30 years later, I still just love that classic Sunlight Studios sound
One of the masterpieces of swedish death metal.
Absolutely!
"Drowned" is a genre defining song, maybe one of the best death metal songs ever written, certainly tops for that swedish sound... I can listen to that track 1000 times in a row.... and the fact that I still have this album on my usb in my car all these years later says it all...
R.I.P LG.... he was amazing. He played drums for Morbid and he did vocals for this other band called Comecon. Talented as hell
and don't forget Firespawn
Love Comecon,have first 2.
Japan - Australia - Great Britain - All huge Entombed fans - as they all sing along as they drive on the best side of the road... Left Hand Path.
Oooh this is gonna be wicked, Entombed rock.
Left Hand Path always reminds me of my old work mate, we used to dip back to hers on lunch for a smoke and she'd stick it on. She passed not long after but everytime I hear it I think of her. RIP LG and Rachel. Looking forward to this. 🤘
Bought this when it was released, took it home and got blown away. 1990 was a great year for death metal releases.
Yay, this, Atheist - Piece of time and Nocturnus - The key among others (probably two of my favorite albums released this year).
@@kasumi65000 The Key was way ahead of it's time
I recommend Be'Lakor. An Australian melodic/progressive death metal band with lots of acoustic guitars. Songs like Countless Skies, Ambience, By Moon by Star, Withering Strands, The Smoke of Many Fires and Locus will make you cry.
The horror movie vibes were correct, based on theme from the movie Phantasm. Still blown away by the creativity at that age.
Metal is such a diverse genre
Bought it on cassette when it came out. Dismembers Like An Ever Flowing Stream is a great listen too.
welcome to the beauty that is the BOSS HM-2 pedal, the signature guitar tone of the Stockholm Swedish Death Metal scene
I would say that their main legacy and trademark is they created the swedish DM sound, which consists in using the Boss HM-2 distortion pedal, with all knobs to the max in a very downtuned guitar.
and some key synths
We also need to take into account that at the time of writing this album the guys were 18 years old. Brilliant
A Swedish death metal classic!! This makes me happy. Everyone talks about American death metal but overlook the Swedish and Finnish, Norway Scandinavian death metal
European DM, especial Swedish and Scandinavian, is better than american DM, period.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND checking out Black Breath as a follow up to this. They're a band from Seattle who worshipped at the altar of Entombed and their album "Sentenced To Life" hits like a sledgehammer!
They're good!

Listen to Bolt Thrower
ENTOMBED, GRAVE, DISMEMBER, UNLEASHED...the swedish big 4 !
Make it big 6, add Merciless and Bloodbath.
@@hieioni3354 Merciless to the rigor although more thrash but less known, Bloodbath is more a tribute even if it's very good.
But there is only one 'BIG 4' otherwise we could add much more
Nicke The drummer is The brain behind Entombed. He's now The guitarist and singer in The band The Hellacopters and a lots of other bands
Excellent choice for background.
As a child walking through the snow. When this was released. Perfect soundtrack for pushing through bitter cold.
Latchkey kid jams
Remember buying this album as it was yesterday. Bought it at 16 years old in -91 at Dolores records/Gothenburg. Rip LG

This album and it's follow up Clandestine are full on classics.
Premiere not even started and I am already excited. This album was a gain changer for me when it was released. THE swedish, i.e. even today still not dated, death metal sound ...
Get ready to rumble...!
LOL, it should be "game changer", but gain changer is funny.
It was both a gain and game changer...
Cool...Electric Wizard first and now my fave Death Metal album, you are the best!
One of the best metal albums of the 90s. When I was in the hospital for 2 months (car accident) all I had was Left Hand Path to listen to.
I love when we can connect albums to certain parts of our lives like that. Even if it's not the greatest time lol. I loved this album so much. Thanks for watching!
Im 51 and have heard everything. For me, the best solos and mood is in this track. Its absolutely on par with Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin
You have to check out Meshuggah!!! Such an amazing influential metal band!!
TBF, when you mentioned that the synth melody in LHP gives off 80s horror movie vibes, the composition was taken from Phantasm's theme.

I could remember it wrong, but it's a quite clear memory in my head so I think I'm right.

A classic album for sure.They started as NIHILIST but for some reason (dont remember why) they split up and reformed as ENTOMBED a few days later,they released one demo before this album.Some of the songs are from the NIHILIST demos.
Because Johnny Hedlund was a psycho.
First two albums are INCREDIBLY influential.
I play guitar... seeing you made me happy... I wish I could fall in love with it again....
I met LG a few times at various gigs and bars around Stockholm over the years and it really sucks that he passed away.
The outro is from the horrormovie Phantasm
I love her reactions. They're right in the right places. This album is millions times hard and has many layers. The next album (Clandestine) is much more complicated musically.

I give you an incredible chance to drown into second Entombed's LP called "Clandestine". It's iteresting to hear/see your reaction. That album was done as continuation of the first one but went out more technical and mature!
The Stockholm sound..... Entombed, Dismember, Unleashed all came out with groundbreaking albums.... my personal fav of the time was Dismember - Like an everflowing stream.... but Left hand path is also a banger.
god damn it.... I forgot Edge of Sanity from that time.... not really a Stockholm band but still part of the Stockholm sound.
Clandestine and then going back to pick up Left Hand Path were my intro to Swedish DM. Back in '91 it totally blew me away and still does. Pretty amazing how much they changed (for good or bad depending on your taste) from this iconic sound bands of today are still imitating to the Death 'n Roll style.
Did you know that you are reading lyrics written by teenagers? That is the beauty of Old School Death Metal.
we were all teenagers when it happened
Btw the piano part on the first song by the end is from the Phantasm movies. Beware The Tall Man!
Entombed will scramble your brain 🤘
Wolverine blues is my favourite Entombed album, RIP Lars-Goran Petrov
32:32 should be everyone’s reaction to that revel in flesh breakdown lol ... sick video ! 💀🤘
Entombed has the filthiest breakdowns.
The band Bloodbath, is an ode to this band. Esp. the first few albums.
2000 I saw Maiden at Stockholm stadion... Slayer and entombed was supporting acts... I guess I don't have to tell it's the best concerts I've been too... RIP Petrov
Benediction baby. You will enjoy
Left....and Clanestine, both insanly good DM Albums. Count my Fav´s ever.
Hi Kaiya! I liked it a lot! More than anything came to mind. Clandestine album is probably written by many people, I think it's also very good, it's important that it's not L.G. Petrow also sang. On the other hand, the band Firespawn, which is not an old band, is worth checking out, because it features a very good and mature L.G. Petrov's voice and the music are also very good. Before his death, his last records were with the band Firespawn.
Yes, it has the 2 songs that you first felt were weaker. You're absolutely right, even if you have to listen to a record several times to know for sure which tracks are actually bad. Me and my friends in the early 90s, when we listened to these records, for example Left Hand Path, from beginning to end, like you did now :-) And we didn't rewind the tape, we just played the album all the way through. We also liked the weaker tracks, if for no other reason than the way they sound :-D
they started out under the name nihilist.. one of the first to show what the hm 2 pedal could bring to death metal. RIP LG! a Legend.
Thanks!
You should checkout Entombed's Clandestine record, by far there best, every track is a banger
This album always slaps 🤘
This album is so amazing and changing of death metal as a a whole. But still like Clandestine more :D
Oh what days those were.. Never will forget seeing Entombed in Portland OR in 1991.. I also have a suggestion, for October you must do a dive on Limbonic Art from Norway . Album Moon in the Scorpio. This one is spooky as hell. ehehehehehe
End of the first Song,sends me to The Twilight Zone,floating 360 thru a Time Tunnel.
Along with Death's Leprosy, probably the best "old school" Death Metal album oh All Times 🤘🤘🤘🤘!
The melody on the first song is from the theme of the horror movie Phantasm from 1979.
Seen Entombed in concert 9 times there band that have a albums that never gets old even if I Saw them I'll make 10 times
Entombed one of the best death metal Lp .
The end of the first song is their take from the movie Phantasm
is Dismember next??
This is awesome
You’ll love it. ‘Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth’ is their best I reckon. It’s a straight up rock n roll behemoth!
'Wolverine Blues' does a better job in that concern i think. Production-wise 'To Ride, SSaStT' is awful and it has songs that are a bit hit-and-miss with clearly some filler on there. Wolverine has nothing but killer tracks in my opinion, but you're free to think otherwise, ofcourse.
Do a video on Bolt Thrower
The HM2 Pedal!!!! enuff said
Facts for you to know my lady about this classic ➡ When the band recorded it their members were only 16-17 years old .. ‼ that specific guitar distortion got nominated as the Gothemburg sound ..due to its rawness and low down tune sound of it ..that then many several bands copied it and still do up until this day .. ◘ their opening track Left Hand path its considered the most influential piece of art within the Death Metal Genre .. ↔ The original drummer of the band Nicke Andersson parted ways to create his own project The Hellacopters ♀ The vocalist Lars-Goran Petrov recently died of cancer ▼ ..What you just listened is a gem within the metal community ...please ENJOY !!!!!
Stockholm sound.
I HIGHLY recommend My Dying Bride's Turn loose the Swans..
Hey, friend. Just came across your channel. As soon as I gave you a chance, I subscribed immediately. Great review of Left Hand Path. I'd love to see what you think about Wolverine Blues, To Ride, Speak the Truth..., and Morning Star. Anyway... Consider me a fan. I'll be watching for your posts on a regular. In the meantime (and forgive me since I haven't reviewed your back catalog yet), but have you reviewed any Kvelertak on your program? Aside from mid-era Entombed (tons of Enslaved, and hella lots of Today is the Day), they're my all-time favorite. Check'em out if you haven't yet (especially the self-titled and Endling 2023). Looking forward to it.
Until next time...
