I heard that Sweden actually has a really robust arts endownment so you could get grants to be in a band. That's why they have such a pedigree of metal cause you can literally do that for a living. Is this true?

I've read some stuff like that.  Not sure if it is true or not.

Yeah, mind you this was from a disgruntled and failed death metal singer who worked at a tshirt shop in Philly. I think he was pissed that Luciferion was so good.

All death metal singers are failures  8)  Not heard of Luciferion, I'm I missing out?

At the time we were listening to the first volume of Metal Militia (a metallica tribute). You've heard of that right?

I have heard some Metallica tribute stuff but tributes are generally gay and a way for cheap ass music companies to rip bands off some more.

Yeah, this was a death metal tribute. Might be worth checking out. The Luciferon song was Fight Fire W/ Fire. That happens to be one of my personal metallica favorites. Might be worth finding on Limewire. The singer sounds evil.

If you like At the Gates you should definitely check out its predecessor Grotesque ......

Entombed always had the best guitar tone, awesome band.

Heavy Load


Old School (crap quality)

Another band with that great Swedish Death Metal guitar tone

Krux
Leif Edling side project from Candlemass, DOOM!!!



Lake Of Tears

Lost Horizon
I discovered this band by accident, it was in the bargin band of a local shop, looked metal and they thanked Immortal...I was shocked when I heard great Power Metal.  Vocals are awesome (don't come across great on the live recording)
