BLOODBATH - Grand Morbid Funeral (Marble Vinyl, 10th Anniversary Edition, Limited) (LP)

THE FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM OF SUPREME DEATH METAL FROM SWEDEN'S MASTERS OF
HORROR. SPECIAL TENTH ANNIVERSARY RELEASE PRESENTED ON LIMITED MARBLE VINYL.
Bloodbath is a titan of death metal from Stockholm, Sweden, notable for the inclusion of Katatonia, Opeth &
Paradise Lost members. Formed in 1998 with a mutual fascination for horror & the glory days of death metal
(especially the old Florida & Stockholm 'Sunlight' scenes), the band has remained a leading light of extreme metal
since their 'Breeding Death' EP was unleashed back in 2000 & a formidable force in the metal world for over twenty-
five years.
Recorded at Ghost Ward Studios & the City of Glass Studios in Stockholm & mixed by David Castillo, 'Grand Morbid
Funeral', Bloodbath's fourth full-length studio release, was undoubtedly the band's darkest & dirtiest opus upon its
release in 2014; an organic collection of filth-ridden tracks straight from the grave, boldly eschewing the approach of
somewhat over-produced modern death metal in favour of something altogether rottener to the bone.
With doom-like melodies mixed with raw & savage riffing & featuring a number of guest appearances including Chris
Reifert & Eric Cutler from US gore-masters Autopsy, 'Grand Morbid Funeral' marked a new high-point of brutality for
Bloodbath.
Blakkheim (guitars): "We're proud of all these different styled releases & we loved doing each & every one of them,
but the objective was never to settle with a certain style, so the time has come to shift once more. It was already
decided right after the last album that the next record would not be a "Fathomless part 2", but it would actually
become its antithesis! So, prepare yourselves for an ultimate blueprint of low-fi, raw, heavy, organic & sludgy death
metal sound! The time has come to stomp those HM-2 pedals once more & close the circle of the death metal
archives with our Grand Morbid Funeral."
This limited edition of 'Grand Morbid Funeral' marks the album's tenth anniversary & is presented on limited
silver/black marble-effect vinyl, with printed inner sleeve.
