Entrails - "Beyond The Flesh"


A few days ago, Entrails released "Beyond The Flesh" as a teaser track for their upcoming release titled 'Obliteration'. I like what I'm hearing. It's the same brutal, old-school sounding, Swedish death metal that I love. While some seem to have an issue with the revival of sound similar to old Entombed, old Grave, old Unleashed etc, this is a style that I will never bore of. Entrails is been one of my most listened to band for some time now, and I can't wait until this album comes out in May. 
From the MetalBlade newsletter, summed up pretty eloquently:

Swedish death metal overlords, ENTRAILS, will unleash the putrid fruits of their newest studio offering this May via Metal Blade Records. Fittingly dubbed, Obliteration, the follow-up to 2013's Raging Death full-length was tracked by guitarist Jimmy Lundqvist at his own "Bloodshed Studios" and mixed and mastered by legendary musician/soundsmith Dan Swanö (Edge Of Sanity, Bloodbath, Aeon, Hail Of Bullets etc.) at Unisound. Featuring ten mangled tracks of sonic malevolence, Obliteration carries on the torch of true, old school Swedish brutality.


Comments Lundqvist: "Finally, we can unleash this beast named Obliteration to the fans out there, this time with a more driven and raw style that shall taste good to everyone's ears if you're into the older simplified death metal that we prefer to play. Recorded in our own Bloodshed Studios and mixed by the mighty Dan Swanö nothing else but slabby Swedeath can be served."

'Beyond The Flesh' limited shirt.
Metal Blade has preorders available. I'm torn between just the album, and the t-shirt bundle. Also, if you haven't seen it yet, Entrails has suggested they will be re-printing a limited shirt they just released if there is enough interest. It is similar to the 'Cemetery Horrors'  shirt and the 'Curse of Death' shirt, both of which are in my possession. This is a band that makes my decision of what to order for merchandise incredibily difficult, as I love the vast majority of the artwork they have used. I'm quite tempted to order a 'Beyond The Flesh' shirt if it is re-printed. In the interest of rounding my collection out, of course.

Preorder t-shirt bundle.
