Grand Morbid Funeral

THE FOURTH STUDIO ALBUM OF SUPREME DEATH METAL FROM SWEDEN'S MASTERS OF HORROR, BLOODBATH - MID-PRICE CD EDITION

Bloodbath is a titan of death metal from Stockholm, Sweden, notable for the inclusion of Katatonia and Opeth 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, and a formidable force for 15 years, further cemented by their devastating - and most successful album at the time ? 'The Fathomless Mastery' in 2008.

Recorded at Ghost Ward Studios and the City of Glass Studios in Stockholm, and mixed by David Castillo, 'Grand Morbid Funeral', Bloodbath's fourth full-length studio release, undoubtedly represented the band's darkest and dirtiest opus; 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 more rotten to the bone.

With doom-like melodies mixed with raw and savage riffing, and featuring several guest appearances including Chris Reifert and Eric Cutler from US gore-masters Autopsy, 'Grand Morbid Funeral' is a new high-point of brutality for Bloodbath.

This edition of 'Grand Morbid Funeral' will be released as a mid-price CD in a jewel case with an 8-page booklet and an OBI card.

"When A class songwriting meets supreme death metal played by and for fans, don't even try to resist" - Metal Hammer UK 8/10 "Damn fine nugget of nastiness" - Kerrang Magazine (UK) "a closed album which never sounds to pleasing but pretty rotten thanks to Holmes` vocals." - Rock Hard (DE) 9/10 "Bloodbath is an incredible band! Heavy apocalyptic riffs, devastating blast beats, great death growl vocals by new singer Nick Holmes, dark and evil melodies!" - METALLIAN mag (FR)
