Interment have been around for a long time, forged out of the depths of the late 80’s Swedish death metal scene. Although having years of material under their belts, this is a band that has only released two full length albums, having put out a number of demos and appeared on a number of splits throughout the years. Interment are described as ‘Swedish old school death metal’, and this is an apt description.
‘Scent Of The Buried’ demonstrates that Interment deserve their rightful place amidst others of the same sub-genre. This album hits all of the right notes that one would expect from Swedish death metal, making it a good choice if that’s what you’re into. It’s not groundbreaking, but it certainly is packed full of the brutality you’d expect from veterans of the Swedish death metal scene. It chugs along in the right places, interspersed by faster pieces and tempos that change enough to pique interest. The vocal style of Johan Jansson is reminiscent of that of Unleashed’s vocalist, which allows for a nice melding of vocals with the various tracks on the album. This is a straightforward, honest, brutal album. All in all, exactly what this listener enjoys about Swedish death metal.
