Entombed: Uffe Cederlund (vocals, guitar, piano); L-G Pertrov (vocals); Alex Hellid (guitar); Jorgen Sandstrom (bass); Peter Stjarnvind (drums). Additional personnel: Camela Leierth (vocals). Recorded at Polar Studios, Dasboot Studio and Dog Pound Audio, Stockholm, Sweden. Sweden's Entombed have already cemented their place in the annals of heavy metal history. Their first two albums, LEFT HAND PATH and CLANDESTINE, made Entombed a force to be reckoned with in the then-blooming death metal world. Although fans thought their turn toward a more traditional rock & roll sound in the mid '90s was a mistake, that infusion of new ideas was just what they needed to keep their music fresh and invigorating in the new century. The album starts off right, as "Chief Rebel Angel" pounds away with chugging riffs, topped by some nice melodies and the phlegmatic vocals of frontman L-G Petrov. The pace of the disc changes on a dime, but with a fluidity that shows the capable musicianship of this stalwart quintet. With tracks like the speed-metal "Ensemble of The Restless," and headbanging, bluesy rockers like "Out of Heaven," Entombed proves that their earlier divergence has paid off. They have managed to find the perfect balance between their music of old and newer ideas. MORNING STAR is a must for any fan of extreme metal.
